Gen V Cast Breakdown: Meet the New Supes Set to Explode The Boys Universe

Blood-soaked classes are officially back in session at Godolkin University, and the Gen V cast roster is bigger—and bolder—than ever. Prime Video has unveiled the full Gen V Season 2 cast ahead of the spinoff’s September 17, 2025 premiere, confirming a mix of returning favorites, surprise The Boys crossovers, and buzzy newcomers such as Broadway breakout Ethan Slater as the school’s mysterious founder Thomas Godolkin. Below is everything fans and searchers need to know about the evolving ensemble. HEAD OF THE CLASS: RETURNING GEN V CAST • Jaz Sinclair – blood-bender Marie Moreau • Lizze Broadway – size-shifting Emma Meyer • Maddie Phillips – mind-controlling Cate Dunlap • London Thor & Derek Luh – dual-gender Jordan Li • Asa Germann – rage-fueled Sam Riordan • Sean Patrick Thomas – veteran supe Polarity • Hamish Linklater – ominous Dean Cipher (promoted after finale twist) NEW FACES SHAKING UP SEASON 2 • Ethan Slater (Wicked) as visionary founder Thomas Godolkin, linked to a secret power-amplification program • Erin Moriarty reprising Starlight, expanding the crossover with The Boys • Chace Crawford (the Deep) and Nathan Mitchell (Black Noir) guest-starring in key campus episodes Additional cast additions are expected to surface as Prime Video’s marketing push intensifies through SDCC and fall press junkets. HONORING CHANCE PERDOMO Season 2 was re-tooled after the tragic 2024 death of Chance Perdomo, who played magnetic metal-manipulator Andre. Showrunner Michele Fazekas confirms Andre will “exist throughout the entire season” via footage already shot and story beats that memorialize the character’s heroism, ensuring Perdomo’s legacy stays woven into the narrative fabric. PLOT SNAPSHOT: BIGGER POWERS, BIGGER CONSEQUENCES Homelander’s iron-fisted rule over America now trickles down to Godolkin. A new curriculum promises students the strength to rival The Boys’ most notorious supe, sparking an arms-race on campus. Marie, Jordan, and Emma reluctantly return, nursing trauma from their Season 1 hospital ordeal, only to uncover an experiment that dates back to the university’s founding—and potentially rewrites the origin of Compound V itself.
