The first season of Gen V never shied away from gore — as one would expect from a spinoff of The Boys — and it looks like the second one won’t either.
Prime VIdeo unveiled a trailer for the forthcoming season of Gen V Friday at Comic-Con, and it skimps on neither the over-the-top moments that are a hallmark of the Boys-verse nor the intrigue at Godolkin University, where the show’s supes-in-training attend college.
The trailer debuted as part of a Comic-Con session that featured castmembers Jaz Sinclair, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh and Hamish Linklater and showrunner Michele Fazekas. Chace Crawford, who will reprise his role as The Deep in season two, also made an appearance on stage. Watch the trailer below.
Also revealed during the panel (and in the trailer) are the casting of Wicked’s Ethan Slater as Thomas Godolkin. Additionally, Sean Patrick Thomas has been upped to a series regular for season two.
Gen V’s season two description reads, “School is back in session. As the rest of America adjusts to Homelander’s iron fist, back at Godolkin University, the mysterious new dean (Linklater) preaches a curriculum that promises to make students more powerful than ever. Cate (Phillips) and Sam (Asa Germann) are celebrated heroes, while Marie (Sinclair), Jordan (Thor), and Emma (Lizze Broadway) 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 University that may have larger implications than they realize. And, somehow, Marie is a part of it.”
