School’s back in session at Godolkin University and big changes are in store this semester on Gen V. In Season 2 of The Boys spinoff, Cate (Maddie Phillips) and Sam (Asa Germann) are campus stars, Marie (Jaz Sinclair), Jordan (London Thor/Derek Luh) and Emma (Lizze Broadway) return scarred from last season, Polarity (Sean Patrick Thomas) has revenge on his mind and a new dean (Hamish Linklater) arrives with powers and plans of his own.
However, the biggest shift is the absence of Andre Anderson, played by Chance Perdomo, whose tragic death in 2024 leaves both the series and its cast forever changed. Despite no longer appearing on Gen V, Perdomo has a big impact on Season 2. Here’s everything you need to know.
