Cast members from Prime Video and Showrunner Michele Fazekas’s Gen V took to social media to signal that they had wrapped filming Season 2.
Since it’s Halloween (and with how things have been going lately), we thought you might appreciate a “treat” over a “trick.” How does a huge update on the second season of Showrunner Michele Fazekas‘s Gen V sound? Just how big are we talking? How about an update so big that it involves Maddie Phillips (Cate), Derek Luh (Jordan Li), and more from the cast? In case you haven’t figured it out yet, the Prime Video series has officially wrapped filming – and those who helped make it happen are getting the word out on social media.
Here’s a look at what Luh and Phillips had to share earlier today to signal that filming on the second season of “The Boys” spinoff series has officially wrapped:
Gen V Season 2: Eric Kripke Shares Some Thoughts…
Speaking with TVLine exclusively at the inaugural Gotham TV Awards, Kripke teased an “intense” season that gives the spinoff’s writers a chance to really build upon the show’s own universe. “It’s really intense. It’s fun to sort of find your legs in the second season of a show and really start digging into the story and the characters,” Kripke explained, noting that the fourth season finale of The Boys “will lead right into” the second season of Gen V. And what about Godolkin University’s newest dean – Hamish Linklater‘s (Manhunt, Midnight Mass) “charismatic and charming” Cipher – who is “trained as a scientist” and is “politically brilliant, and has the trust and admiration of officials at the highest level”? According to Kripke, Cipher is someone to keep a careful eye on. “He’s really scary,” Kripke shared, adding, “I’ve wanted to work with [Hamish] forever. He was so unbelievable in [Midnight Mass]. He’s a very complicated, mysterious character. I’m excited for people to see him.”
Taking on the roles of the next generation of supes for the first season were Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Marco Pigossi. Joining them were guest stars Clancy Brown, Jason Ritter, and Derek Wilson – with Jensen Ackles, Jessie T. Usher, Claudia Doumit, Colby Minifie, Chace Crawford, and P.J. Byrne reprising their respective roles from the main series.
Before classes were officially in session, the official “RED BAND” trailer for Amazon’s Prime Video spinoff series was unleashed upon our unsuspecting lives. Along with the series overview, we have both the “RED BAND” & original versions of the previously released teaser trailer waiting for you below:
Set in the diabolical world of “The Boys,” “Gen V” expands the universe to Godolkin University, the prestigious superhero-only college where students train to be the next generation of heroes—preferably with lucrative endorsements. You know what happens when supes go bad, but not all superheroes start out corrupt. Beyond the typical college chaos of finding oneself and partying, these kids are facing explosive situations … literally. As the students vie for popularity and good grades, it’s clear that the stakes are much higher when superpowers are involved. When the group of young supes discover that something bigger and sinister is going on at school, they’re put to the test: Will they be the heroes or the villains of their stories?
