Gen V Season 2 Review

Gen V really hit the ground running in Season 1, and Season 2 doesn’t entirely continue that momentum right out of the gate. There’s certainly a jarring disconnect in the early episodes of Season 2, as the series steps back from the status quo teased last time around and returns to the traditional college setting. But the series only improves as it moves forward and deepens the drama for Marie and her circle of wannabe superhero friends. Season 2 weaves a cohesive narrative built around the idea of overcoming trauma and becoming something greater. It does so even as it introduces one of The Boys universe’s best and most compelling villains in Hamish Linklater’s Dean Cipher. The series once again proves there’s far more worth exploring in this twisted superhero universe than what The Boys can handle on its own. Check out IGN's full, spoiler-free review of the raunchy superhero series' sophomore season.Gen V Season 2 stars Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, and Hamish Linklater. The first three episodes of Season 2 will debut on Prime Video on September 17, 2025.
