Class is back in session today inside SDCC’s Ballroom 20, where members of Gen V took the stage to address attendees and deliver a brand-new trailer for the highly-anticipated second season. Familiar faces, including those of Season 1 stars such as Jaz Sinclair, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, and Derek Luh, joined new-to-the-family actor Hamish Linklater and showrunner Michele Fazekas to foreshadow what fans can expect when the title returns for its next set of episodes this September, and it’s crossover central!
You know Gen V loves to throw in a good cameo from The Boys and boy (pun intended) did they ever. This season, Marie (Sinclair) and her friends will be at the center of a sabotage plan as they head back to Godolkin, with none other than Starlight (Erin Moriarty) setting Marie up to the task. But, when they return to Godolkin, they discover that Dean Shetty’s (Shelley Conn) replacement, Cipher (Linklater), is wildly sadistic and psychotic, with one scene depicting him threatening Cate’s (Phillips) hand with a blender. Cipher takes a special interest in Marie’s blood-wielding powers, telling her that she could be even more powerful than Homelander (Antony Starr), which only drives her to carry out their pre-conceived plans even more. The debut trailer revealed that Valorie Curry‘s Firecracker would join the crossover fun and, on top of Starlight, we also caught a glimpse of The Deep (Chace Crawford) as well as a new character played by Wicked‘s Ethan Slater.
What Else Is on the Way From the Minds of ‘The Boys’?
The fifth and final season of Eric Kripke’s The Boys might be looming just over the horizon, but for now it seems like the universe is safe with not only Gen V but also another project titled Vought Rising. Starring Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy and Aya Cash as Stormfront, the production is set to turn the clock back several decades and follow the leading characters during their early days with Vought. While there’s not a lot out there quite yet about Vought Rising, Ackles previously teased that its political components would fall in line with The Boys, revealing that “whether it’s politics or whether it’s violence or protests,” Kripke and his team seem to be one step ahead of current events.
Meanwhile, Season 5 of The Boys will showcase the final battle between the Supes and vigilantes as Homelander (Antony Starr) holds on tightly to his new position of power at the top of the U.S. government and Butcher (Karl Urban) attempts to find a way to stop him for good.
Gen V returns on September 17. Stay tuned to Collider for more to come from SDCC.
