Gen V season 2 has arrived, and the first four episodes have been quite a doozy. Now that we're halfway into the new season, we can only imagine what dangers await Marie Moreau and her friends as they navigate sophomore year at Godolkin U.

Don't forget: the events of Gen V season 2 will set up The Boys season 5, bringing the ever-popular Prime Video show to a close (though a prequel spin-off series is on the way). If you aren't ready to dive in just yet, you can check our guide to The Boys season 4 ending explained for a refresher (as Gen V's Cate Dunlap and Sam Riordan did show up and wreak havoc throughout the season).

Gen V season 2 is released exclusively on Prime Video in the US and the UK.

The official synopsis for Gen V season 2 reads: "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.

"But school will never be the same as the trio soon 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."
