Gen V returns for season 2 on 17 September 2025, opening with three episodes and then moving to weekly releases. The launch gives viewers an early look at the season’s tone and lets the rest of the story unfold over several weeks. This piece provides exact dates, where to watch, early plot beats reported by critics and outlets, and on-the-record comments from the creators and producers.
Gen V season 2 follows students at Godolkin University as the wider world under Homelander’s rule shifts toward martial law and new campus leadership. Some characters come back changed after the events of the first season; others return as public figures.
The creative team reworked parts of season two after the death of Chance Perdomo and has said they will not recast his role. Those production choices affect both storylines and how the show opens.
Release pattern and dates of Gen V Season 2
Prime Video will release Gen V episodes 1–3 on 17 September 2025, then put out a single episode each Wednesday until the finale on 22 October 2025. The season comprises eight episodes in total. This Gen V Season 2 release schedule gives the series an initial block of scenes to set the stakes, followed by a steady week-to-week roll-out.
Where to watch and how release times translate?
All episodes stream on Prime Video in territories where the service is available. In the U.S., the first batch goes live at 12:00 a.m. Pacific / 3:00 a.m. Eastern. If you use Prime Video, the new episodes appear in your library on their release dates.
Specific early episode beats to note
Early reviews and reports describe concrete scenes rather than general impressions. In the opening episodes, Marie is on the run after events at the end of season one; she nearly gets caught by a Supe bounty hunter named Dogknott but is rescued by Starlight (Annie January).
Marie’s return to Godolkin reveals that the new dean, Cipher, is running a hardline training program and pressing certain students, especially Marie, to test and expand their powers. Several pieces also report that the show reactivates a Cold War-era program called Project Odessa, which ties into Marie’s arc.
Production changes and on-record quotes
The creative team confirmed they did not recast Andre after Chance Perdomo’s death. According to an Entertainment Tonight report, Gen V producers said,
“We won’t be recasting the role, because no one can replace Chance,”
That they would “honor Chance and his legacy” while reworking season two.
As per TV Insider reports, showrunner Michele Fazekas also described a time jump,
“Yeah, there’s a time jump. And everyone starts in a completely different place, and they’re not all together… They’re in a place that we have been told in Season 1 [is] the last place you should want to go, which is called Elmira… Some of them end up there, but not all of them.”
