Although there is no The Boys panel at San Diego Comic Con this year, the supes are definitely in the building as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gen V season 2 is here, and the show has dropped a bombshell: Erin Moriarty, AKA Starlight, is 🌸beami💯ng over from the mothership show to join the students at Godolkin University for the imminent second season.

And that's not all. The SDCC 2025 panel also brought news that Wicked star Ethan Slater is joining the cast for season 2 as none other than Thomas Godolkin, the founder of the school for fledgling supes. They'll be joined by Nathan Mitchell's man of few words, Black Noir, in the upcoming season. In other words, it's really starting to sound like essential viewing ahead of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Boys season 5.

We last saw our favorite super-able students when Marie, Emma, Jordan, and Andre were framed for turning God U into a bloodbath, which was really Sam and Cate's doing. Vought then sent the four down to the Woods. But despite 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gen V season 1 ending in utter chaos, season 2 starts with Marie, Emma, and Jordan returning for their sophomore year at Godolkin. This is because season 2 sees a little time jump as it takes place directly澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史📖查询: a💝fter the events of The Boys season 4.

The official synopsis reads: "As the rest of America adjusts to Homelander's iron fist, b💜ack at Godolkin University, the mysterious new Dean preaches 𒉰a curriculum that promises to make students more powerful than ever."

However, just because our favorite four are out of the woods now, that doesn't mean that everything has gone back to normal. "The gang learns of a secret p𒊎rogram that goes back to the founding of Godolkin University that may have larger implications than they realize. And, somehow, Marie is a part of i♊t."

The series welcomes back Jaz Sinclair as Marie Moreau, Lizze Broadway as Emma Meyer, Maddie Phillips as Cate Dunlap, London Thor and Derek Luh as Jordan Li, Asa Germann 🌱as Sam Riordan, and adds Hamish Linklater as Dean Cipher and Sean Patrick Thomas as Polarity. Oh, we’ll also see some Boys cameos too, including Chace Crawford’s The Deep.

Gen V season 2 will release with a three-episode premiere on Prime Video on Wednesday, September 17. For more, check out our lists of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best TV shows of all time, and all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new TV shows heading our way.
