Gen V Trailer: Chace Crawford Returns, Ethan Slater Joins As Tensions Explode In Season 2
Season 2 introduces Ethan Slater (Wicked, SpongeBob SquarePants) as Thomas Godolkin in a recurring role. Slater's addition brings even more star power to the cast, while Sean Patrick Thomas (Till) — who plays Polarity — has been promoted to series regular.
The trailer hints at major narrative connections to The Boys, teasing dramatic returns, surprise cameos, and darker turns for familiar characters. As Homelander's reign tightens across America, chaos brews at Godolkin. Under the guidance of a cryptic new Dean (Hamish Linklater), students are promised unparalleled power — but at what cost?
Cate and Sam are now hailed as heroes, while Marie, Jordan, and Emma struggle to process the trauma of past events. As tensions escalate between Supes and Humans, the trio uncovers a secret legacy buried in the foundations of the university — one that may tie directly to Marie and the fate of supes everywhere.
Returning cast includes Jaz Sinclair as Marie Moreau, Lizze Broadway as Emma Meyer, Maddie Phillips as Cate Dunlap, London Thor and Derek Luh as Jordan Li, Asa Germann as Sam Riordan, Sean Patrick Thomas as Polarity, and Hamish Linklater as Dean Cipher.

Is Nickelodeon shutting down? What's really happening; rumors explained
As streaming continues to transform how kids watch TV, the landscape for traditional children's programming in North America is shifting, and fast. Linear TV networks are feeling the heat as younger audiences migrate toward platforms like YouTube, Netflix, and Paramount+. That pressure has now led to a major shakeup - Nickelodeon's Canadian channel is shutting down on September 1, 2025, alongside multiple Disney-branded channels. Nickelodeon Canada is coming to an end after a 16-year run(X/@Nickelodeon) The Canada conundrum The channel, which launched in Canada in 2009, carried a mix of classic and contemporary Nickelodeon content, including SpongeBob SquarePants and PAW Patrol. According to a report from The Canadian Press, Corus Entertainment, which distributes several U.S. networks in Canada, will be closing five kids' channels: Nickelodeon, Disney XD, Disney Jr., ABC Spark, and La Chaîne Disney. The company cited a 'comprehensive review' of its portfolio and the 'evolving needs of audiences and distribution partners' as key reasons behind the decision. Corus emphasized that the shutdown follows a 'comprehensive review' of its network portfolio and the 'evolving needs' of viewers and distributors. The company will continue to operate the Disney Channel brand on TV and streaming platforms in Canada. The US remains unaffected Though the US Nickelodeon network remains unaffected, the move highlights the network's evolving presence across North America and the wider decline of cable TV. As streaming platforms are slowly but steadily taking over, kids are no longer waiting for scheduled broadcasts, making it harder for traditional channels to retain viewership or attract advertising dollars. While Nickelodeon Canada is coming to an end after a 16-year run, it's unclear whether its programming will shift to YTV, Treehouse TV, or STACKTV, all owned by Corus and still operational. In the U.S., however, Nickelodeon is holding steady with new shows like Wylde Pak and a SpongeBob SquarePants movie set to release this December. The rise of streaming platforms Streaming has transformed how young audiences consume content, with platforms like YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, and Paramount+ overtaking linear television. Kids today aren't waiting for scheduled broadcasts - they're binging shows on-demand, watching short-form content, and engaging with entertainment across multiple devices. That change has hit ad-supported TV networks particularly hard. Despite the fact that Nickelodeon's US operations won't be affected directly, it signals a growing challenge for kids' cable networks across the continent: staying relevant in a market dominated by fast, flexible, and highly personalized digital entertainment.
