The second season of Gen V picks up from the first season's cliffhanger, where Marie (Jaz Sinclair), Jordan (London Thor/Derek Luh), Emma (Lizzie Broadway), and Andre (Chance Perdomo) were framed and imprisoned after Cate's (Maddie Phillips) and Sam's (Asa Germann) betrayal.

The new season shows them in a brutal rehabilitation center before returning to campus.

With Homelander's increasing power and President Calhoun supporting his army of supes, the students now face a darker university where humans wear identifying badges.

A significant aspect of the new season is how it handles the tragic loss of Chance Perdomo, who passed away in March 2024.

The actor's role as Andre will not be filled in by someone else, suggesting that the season has been restructured to pay tribute to him.

"Season 2 is really going to be, in a lot of ways, a tribute to Chance," co-star Thomas told People.
