Jaz Sinclair, London Thor, Derek Luh, Lizze Broadway, Asa Germann, and Maddie Phillips will all return for the upcoming season, which will likely pick up after the events of The Boys‘ most recent fourth season, which featured Phillips and Germann’s Cate and Sam. As for additional cast members, the trailer above teased the inclusion of The Boys‘ stars Valorie Curry and Chace Crawford, reprising their roles as Firecracker and The Deep. Meanwhile, Sean Patrick Thomas is also back as Polarity. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for even more crossover with The Boys after the inclusion Homelander (Antony Starr), Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), and others favorites in Season 1.

Who is joining Gen V Season 2’s cast?

New additions for Season 2 include Hamish Linklater as Cipher, the newly appointed Dean of Godolkin University, who is described as “charismatic and charming.” A trained scientist, Cipher is politically savvy and has the trust of officials at the highest level. Meanwhile, it was more recently announced by Deadline that Season 2 will also add Keeya King, Stephen Kalyn, Julia Knope, Stacey McGunnigle, Tait Fletcher, Wyatt Dorion, and Georgie Murphy to its roster in recurring roles.

Will Andre be part of Gen V Season 2?

As fans may recall, star Chance Perdomo died as a result of a motorcycle accident prior to the start of filming for Season 2, which means Perdomo wasn’t able to shoot any scenes as Andre for the upcoming chapter. It was previously announced by the creative team of Gen V that Perdomo’s role will not be recast for the upcoming chapter, but it’s unclear how the show will handle his absence. The teaser trailer, above, offers some hints, but only time will tell.

What is Gen V Season 2 about?

After Andre, Marie (Sinclair), Jordan (Luh and Thor), and Emma (Broadway) were detained at the end of Season 1, Cate and Sam were launched as the Guardians of Godolkin. As the guardians teamed up with The Seven to implement Homelander’s deputizing of Supes, Season 2 picks up with class back in session.

As the rest of America is adjusting to Homelander’s iron fist, back at Godolkin, the mysterious new Dean preaches a curriculum that promises to make students more powerful than ever. Cate and Sam are celebrated heroes, while Marie, Jordan, and Emma reluctantly return to college, burdened by months of trauma and loss. But parties and classes are hard to care about with war brewing between humans and Supes, both on and off campus. The gang learns of a secret program that goes back to the founding of Godolkin that may have larger implications than they realize, and somehow, Marie is part of it.
