The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke has seen the first episode ofGen V season 2– and he has nothing but praise for the spin-off’s premiere.
“It’s really good. I just saw the season premiere last week. It’s excellent. Hamish [Linklater] , you know, is the new addition to the cast. And he’s amazing – brilliant actor,” Kripke tells GamesRadar+ at SDCC. “And I feel like first seasons of shows are always hard, because they’re finding itself a little bit. And I think, no, I think Gen V has found itself.”
A trailer for Gen V season 2 wasshown behind closed doors at SDCC, which featured Hamish Linklater in his debut as the new dean of Godolkin University. There was also plenty of Sam (Asa Germann) and Cate (Maddie Phillips), who wreaked havoc inThe Boys season 4. The Deep (Chace Crawford) also makes an ominous cameo.
The second season of Gen V will continue on from The Boys season 4and pick up after that wild season 1 finale. The core characters are set to return, thoughChance Perdomo, who played Andre Anderson, will not be recastout of respect for his passing.Though you don’t need to watch The Boys season 4 before Gen V season 2 (and vice versa), we highly recommend it.
