Which Characters Will Return From The Gen V Cast For Season 2 And Which Won’t?

So, you’ve just finished Gen V Season 1 and you’re probably searching the whole internet for several theories to understand the ending and “Who’s coming back for Season 2?” Well then you’re in the right place. Here, we will know that who’s likely to return and who won’t. We’ll keep it simple and straightforward so even if you’re new to the Gen V universe and haven’t watched the first season, still you’ll have a good idea of what to expect.

The first season left us with many questions. The Gen V cast was full of unique and quirky characters that fans quickly got attached to. But, like in all good superhero shows, not everyone makes it to the next season. Stay tuned to the end.

 

 

Who is Returning from the Gen V Cast?

Let’s start with the good news that most of your favorite characters are expected to return in Gen V Season 2. 

• Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair): Marie is definitely coming back (a supe who can control blood with her mind and has a dark past). Her story was just getting started and there’s so much more to explore with her character. Plus, we need to see how she deals with the mess that we saw in the season finale.
• Emma Meyer/Little Cricket (Lizze Broadway): Emma (who can change her size by purging or eating) is also expected to return. She’s one of the most interesting characters and her unique abilities make her important to the group.
• Cate Dunlap (Maddie Phillips): Cate (who has mind-controlling powers) will likely be back too. After all, she played a massive role in the chaos at the end of Season 1 and her story is far from over.
• Jordan Li (London Thor and Derek Luh): Jordan (a supe who can switch between male and female forms) is a fan favorite. They’re expected to return as well especially after the cliffhanger ending that left everyone on the edge of their seats.
• Sam Riordan (Asa Germann): Sam (a super-strong and durable supe) is also likely to return. His connection with the other characters and the unresolved storyline make him a crucial part of the next season.

 

 

Which Characters Won’t Return?

Everyone didn’t make it out of Season 1 alive or in one piece unfortunately. 

• Andre Anderson (Chance Perdomo): This one is heartbreaking. Chance Perdomo, who played the magnetic Andre Anderson, passed away in March 2024. The producers have confirmed that Andre’s character will not be recast, and they plan to honor him in Season 2. This means we won’t see Andre, but his memory will definitely have a big impact on the storyline.
• Dean Indira Shetty (Shelley Conn): She had quite the ride in Season 1 but it looks like her time is up. It’s safe to say she won’t be coming back after everything that went down.
• Dr. Edison Cardosa (Marco Pigossi): He really had bad fate in Season 1 and with everything that happened, it’s unlikely that we’ll see him again.
• Professor Richard Brinkerhoff (Clancy Brown): The professor was caught up in the chaos and didn’t make it through. Don’t expect him to show up in Season 2.

 

New Characters Joining the Gen V Cast

Now let’s jump onto the fresh faces. We will see some new talent in the next season.

• Cipher (Hamish Linklater): A new character will be joining the cast. There’s a lot of buzz and fans are eagerly waiting to see what he brings to the table.
• The Deep (Chace Crawford): Yes, he will be making an appearance in Gen V Season 2. His involvement hints at a bigger crossover between the two shows, which could be pretty epic.

 

Possible Cameos

We might also see a few familiar faces from The Boys universe making cameo appearances:

• Ashley Barrett (Colby Minifie): Her cameo in Season 1 turned into a more significant role and there’s a good chance that she can do a short cameo in Season 2.
• Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit): Another character from The Boys who might return is Victoria Neuman. Her role was growing towards the end of Season 1 so don’t be surprised if she shows up in the next season.

 

 

Plot Expectations for Season 2

The storyline left us with a massive cliffhanger at the end of the first season. Fans are dying to know what happens next. 

• Cate and Sam’s Rampage: The duo turned the whole world upside down, or at least the Godolkin University. After freeing the imprisoned Supes, they led a killing spree across the campus. The next season will likely focus on the aftermath of this chaos.
• Marie and the Crew: Our main crew (Marie, Emma, Jordan, and Andre) were framed as the bad guys while Cate and Sam were considered as heroes. This twist is going to be a major plot point in the next season and we can’t wait to see how it all unfold.
• Homelander’s Involvement: His arrival at the end of Season 1 was a huge moment. His involvement hints at a bigger connection with The Boys universe and we’re excited to see how this crossover plays out.
• The Supe Virus: The supe-killing virus mentioned in The Boys Season 4 is likely to make an appearance in Gen V Season 2. Things are about to get even crazier with Butcher on the loose and Martial Law in effect.

 

Release Date Speculation

There’s no official release date yet but we can make some educated guesses. If the production follows a similar timeline to Season 1 then we might see the next season sometime in late 2025. But keep your eyes on for updates because the official date could be announced any time now.
