Gen V season 2 is finally here, as the doors of Godolkin University open once again after the events of the previous season. Things are about to change in the superhero college, though, as a new dean takes control of the institution while Homelander takes control of the whole country (see our The Boys season 4 ending explained for more details on that).
The new season of the spin-off series, which will set the scene for The Boys season 5, sees Jaz Sinclair's Marie Moreau returning to university after being recruited by none other than Erin Moriarty's Starlight. And that's not the only character from the flagship show making an appearance – you can also expect Chace Crawford's The Deep and Nathan Mitchell's Black Noir to pop up in the new episodes.
