Gen V Season 2 is set to premiere on September 17, 2025, on Amazon Prime Video, continuing the explosive universe of The Boys with deeper character arcs, emotional stakes, and shocking revelations. In an exclusive interview with ComingSoon, senior editor Brandon Schreur sat down with stars Maddie Phillips, Asa Germann, and Lizze Broadway to discuss what fans can expect from this highly anticipated new chapter.
According to the official synopsis, Season 2 picks up as Godolkin University reopens under a mysterious new Dean, while the rest of America adjusts to Homelander’s rising authoritarianism. Cate and Sam are now seen as heroes, while Marie, Jordan, and Emma return to campus still grappling with the trauma of past events. A hidden program tied to Godolkin’s origins begins to surface, hinting at a conspiracy far deeper than any of them anticipated — and Marie may be central to it all.
Maddie Phillips, who plays Cate, described the character’s evolution as both transformative and conflicted. “There’s a little bit of both going on,” she said about Cate’s alignment between good and evil. “There are perspective shifts, transformation, and change… but there’s definitely still a huge difference when it comes to what she thinks is right and what her friends think is right.” Phillips emphasized that Cate’s actions are grounded in well-intentioned morality, even when the consequences are destructive or morally questionable.
Her portrayal taps into a broader theme of the season: moral ambiguity and how context shapes belief systems. “The context of our lives changes, so our opinions change. That’s reflected in the season — and in real life, too.”
Meanwhile, Asa Germann and Lizze Broadway opened up about the evolving relationship between their characters, Sam and Emma. After ending Season 1 on opposite sides of the conflict, many fans wondered whether reconciliation was even possible. “I always felt very clear that they were going to come back together,” Germann shared. “They were two misfits still discovering what love means amid chaos and trauma.” Broadway added, “Love is tricky, love is complicated. But when it’s real, there’s always a way.”
