The Boys spinoff Gen V returns very, very soon for its second season.
Viewers will be able to return to Godolkin on 17 September courtesy of Prime Video.
There are eight episodes for you to enjoy in total, three of which will premiere on that aforementioned date.
Episodes four through eight will then drop weekly, with the season concluding on 22 October.

It’s undoubtedly going to be a bittersweet season; fair to say, we’re all excited to see what fresh chaos it brings.
Hamish Linklater joins the cast as the new dean of Godolkin, intent on training the Supes to be soldiers as a war threatens to break out between Supes and humans.
However, we’re all likely going to feel the absence of the late Chance Perdomo who sadly passed away in 2024.
Perdomo was reportedly travelling to Toronto via motorcycle in order to begin filming on season two of Gen V when he was involved in a fatal crash in Upstate New York.

Out of respect for the actor, the role of Andre Anderson has not been recast with the second season having undergone last-minute rewrites.
It’s expected that the rewritten season will both explain Andre’s departure whilst simultaneously honouring Perdomo’s legacy.
The season is also set to introduce us to some brand new characters and as I just mentioned, Linklater’s new dean, Dean Cipher, is one of them.
You may not know this but Linklater already has a pretty impressive superhero credit to his name.

The actor voices the Dark Knight himself, Batman, in Prime Video’s beloved animated series Batman: Caped Crusader which has a second season in the works.
It’s looking increasingly likely that Cipher is going to act as more of a villain than a comrade, so it must be fun for Linklater to have played both hero and baddie.
You may also recognise Linklater as Father Paul from the fantastic 2021 horror series Midnight Mass by Mike Flanagan.
Well, tune into whatever hijinks Dean Cipher cooks up when Gen V returns on 17 September.
