While we still have a little while to wait until the final season of The Boys arrives on Prime Video, we have just returned to the universe of the show, with spin-off series Gen V having kicked off its second season.

The new episodes pick up with Marie, Emma and Jordan as their incarceration at the hands of Vought comes to an end, and they had back to Godolkin University for a less-than-happy reunion with Cate and Sam.

While there, they come across new Dean, Cipher, played by Hamish Linklater, who is promising to help students reach their full potential as supes in Homelander's new America. Meanwhile, Ethan Slater is amongst the other new stars joining for season 2, while a host of The Boys actors are set to cameo.

This season also picks up following the sad real-life passing of Chance Perdomo, with his character Andre revealed to have died off-screen between seasons.

The first three episodes are available to catch up on now, but when will episode 4 be released?

Gen V season 2 picks up after The Boys season 4, and leads into that show's final season, which is expected to arrive in 2026.

The synopsis for Gen V season 2 says: "School is back in session. As the rest of America adjusts to Homelander's iron fist, back at Godolkin University, the mysterious new Dean preaches a curriculum that promises to make students more powerful than ever.

"Cate and Sam are celebrated heroes, while Marie, Jordan, and Emma reluctantly return to college, burdened by months of trauma and loss. But parties and classes are hard to care about with war brewing between Humans and Supes, both on and off campus.

"The gang learns of a secret program that goes back to the founding of Godolkin University that may have larger implications than they realize. And, somehow, Marie is a part of it."
