Production
Development
In January 2023, it was announced that a writing room for a potential second season would soon come together, to be led by Michele Fazekas, who also has become sole showrunner since Tara Butters has taken a break from work.[4] That October, Amazon Prime Video renewed the series for a second season.[5]
Regarding how it would connect to the ending of the fourth season of The Boys, Eric Kripke said: "[''Gen V''] will be the first glimpse into the new world that was created at the end of S4."[6]
Casting
The second season features the return of the main cast, with the exception of Chance Perdomo, whose character Andre Anderson will not be recast following Perdomo's death in March 2024 in a motorcycle accident.[7] [8] In June 2024, Hamish Linklater was announced in the role of Cipher, the new dean of Godolkin University. At San Diego Comic-Con in July 2024, Chace Crawford was revealed to be reprising his role as Kevin Moskowitz / The Deep from The Boys in the season after appearing in the first season of Gen V.[7] On November 1, 2024, Keeya King, Stephen Kalyn, Julia Knope, Stacey McGunnigle, Tait Fletcher, Wyatt Dorion and Georgie Murphy were set to appear in the season.
Filming
In late March 2024, it was announced the production of the second season would be put on hold following Perdomo's death. The cast was due to begin table reads that afternoon before filming started on April.[9] Filming of the season officially commenced in May 2024.[10] [11] Filming wrapped on October 31 of the same year.[12]
