The Boys’ Universe Expands Again
It’s been two years since the explosive finale of Gen V Season 1, but the wait is finally over. The Boys spinoff returns for its sophomore season on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, exclusively on Prime Video.
Set after the events of The Boys Season 4, the new season brings Marie (Jaz Sinclair) and her friends back to Godolkin University—this time under the leadership of a new dean, Cipher (Hamish Linklater). But beneath the promise of a fresh start lies a darker truth: Cipher is secretly training Supes to become weapons in a looming war against humanity.
With eight episodes in total, Gen V Season 2 promises to raise the stakes, blending college satire, brutal action, and the biting social commentary fans expect from the Boys universe.
