The first full trailer for Gen V Season 2 premiered on Friday, in tandem with the show’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con.
The Boys spinoff is returning this fall on Prime Video, and per the streamer, “introduces key events and revelations that feed directly into the final chapter of The Boys.”
Stars Jaz Sinclair, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Hamish Linklater, as well as showrunner Michele Fazekas took part in the SDCC panel, moderated by The Boys universe cast member, PJ Byrne.
The trailer for the season reveals Erin Moriarty will appear in Season 2 as Annie January / Starlight, as she has a task for Sinclair’s Marie Moreau. The Boys character Black Noir will appear in some capacity, as will Chance Crawford’s Kevin Moskowitz / The Deep.
Thomas, who recurred in Season 1 as Polarity, is a series regular in Season 2. Of course, as shown a bit in the trailer, Season 2 will grapple with the real-life death of series star Chance Perdomo, who played Andre Anderson. The character’s death will be off-screen heading into Season 2 and will be a major component in the new season. The trailer also showcases the casting of Ethan Slater in the recurring role of Thomas Godolkin in the new season.
