It’s almost time for our favorite teenage Supes’ sophomore year at Godolkin Univerisity, as filming for Prime Video’sGen V season 2will reportedly start in a matter of weeks.

As recorded in an interview withArc Studio, Gen V season 2 writer Thomas Schnauz let it slip that the second installment will start filming very soon: “They start shooting in not too long up in Canada, probably two or three weeks.”

Although he didn’t help write the first season, which premiered on Prime Video last September, Schnauz has joined the project on its second season. The writer is best known for writing the hit series Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul, as well as the ‘90s sci-fi series The X-Files.

Based on The Boys comic book story arc ‘We Gotta Go Now’ by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson,Gen Vintroduced us to a brand-new crop of young Supes at Vought’s Godolkin Univeristy. In the first season, we saw young and impressionable superheroes Marie, Jordan, Emma, and co. adapt to college life, while uncovering a sinister secret hiding below the school halls. The series is a spin-off from the popular superhero show The Boys, and evenfeatures some cameos from the main cast.

There is no official plotline for season 2 as of yet, but if things pick up from wherethe first season’s finaleleft off, we can expect to see the school reeling from the bloody mess caused by celebrated secret villains Cate and Sam, while the real good guys are trapped in the university’s underground testing lab known as The Woods.
