So when <em>Gen V<\/em> arrived and once again surprised me \u2013 as a spin-off that took things in a new and exciting direction \u2013 I was pretty eager to see what was next.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now that is due to arrive, as <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/sensational-sci-fi-spin-off-084425846.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:season 2 of Gen V;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">season 2 of <em>Gen V<\/em><\/a> lands on Amazon Prime Video from Wednesday 17 September. The first three episodes are set to land all at once, hopefully giving us that movie-like experience. Then it&#8217;ll be a week-to-week slog as we wait for the rest to be unveiled one episode at a time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The show, for anyone new to all this, is set around a group of genetically enhanced young people who are either training to be superheroes or are fighting against corrupt powers that work in that field. It all sounds very dark \u2013 and can be when it comes to gore \u2013 but actually stays well-humoured throughout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While <em>Gen V<\/em> season one helped further cement Prime as one of the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.t3.com\/features\/the-best-streaming-service\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:best streaming services;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">best streaming services<\/a>, its success with <em>The Boys<\/em> has dwindled as each series has had a lower rating. <em>Gen V<\/em>, so far, has been a big hit \u2013 with a current <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/tv\/gen_v\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Rotten Tomatoes rating of 97%;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Rotten Tomatoes rating of 97%<\/a> from critics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That said, it does seem to be less coveted by viewers, with a 77% score on the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/tv\/gen_v\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Popcornmeter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Popcornmeter<\/a>. Of course, this could be the more hardcore fans of <em>The Boys<\/em> simply not liking this new direction the spin-off heads in, but it&#8217;s worth keeping in mind as season two arrives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This appears to be the case, as already I&#8217;ve spotted quite a few online teases for more <em>The Boys<\/em> characters appearing in <em>Gen V<\/em>. This season will include Hamish Linklater as Cipher, while other fan-favourites, including The Deep (Chace Crawford), Starlight (Erin Moriarty), and Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), are set to return.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 4<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Gen V Season
