Is Gen V season 2 releasing in May 2025? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on May 12, 2025, 17:23 IST
The Boys spin-off Gen V took the superhero genre by storm with its bloody, irreverent first season, set at Godolkin University. Fans are eagerly awaiting Season 2, with rumors swirling about a possible May 2025 release. But is this date accurate, and what else do we know about the upcoming season? In this article, we dive into the latest updates on Gen V Season 2. Gen V Season 2 Release Date: Is May 2025 Happening?
As of May 2025, no official release date for Gen V Season 2 has been confirmed by Prime Video. While some fans have speculated about a May 2025 premiere, this seems unlikely based on production timelines. Filming for Season 2 began in July 2024 and wrapped in November 2024, as announced by the official Gen V account on X. Given that Season 1 aired roughly a year after filming wrapped, a late 2025 release—potentially October or November—is more realistic. What Will Gen V Season 2 Be About?
Gen V Season 2 picks up after the explosive events of Season 1 and is expected to tie closely to the fallout of The Boys Season 4. Season 1 ended with Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), Jordan Li (London Thor/Derek Luh), Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway), and Andre Anderson (Chance Perdomo) trapped in a mysterious, doorless facility after a campus battle. Meanwhile, Cate Dunlap (Maddie Phillips) and Sam Riordan (Asa Germann) were hailed as the 'Guardians of Godolkin' by Vought, aligning with Homelander's pro-Supe agenda.

7 great TV shows to watch if you loved 'Overcompensating'
Overcompensating, the Prime Video show created by and starring content creator and comedian Benito Skinner had all the perfect ingredients to hook a young audience. The show featured an ensemble cast comprising internet stars like Holmes, Caleb Hearon, and Owen Thiele, as well as A-listers such as Charli XCX, Kyle MacLachlan, and Connie Britton, all set to a fast-paced, joke-filled tone. It centered around a group of young adults figuring out life together with a few hijinks and side quests sprinkled throughout. The show became an instant smash, shooting straight to number one on the platform's most-watched TV shows list less than a week after it aired. Skinner plays a college freshman named Benny, who decides to attend the same college as his sister, Grace (Mary Beth Barone), and forms a quick, co-dependent bond with a young woman named Carmen (Wally Baram). The two figure out college life together and navigate sticky relationships, Benny uncovering his sexuality, and figuring out who they really are. The eight episodes go down easily, and it's one of those shows that if you blink, you'll realize you already finished the season. To help with the post-show hangover, here are some other shows about young people stumbling through early adulthood and figuring it out. - YouTube Adults was released two weeks after Overcompensating, so it's no surprise that two shows with somewhat similar premises are being compared to one another. Some people are even calling the show "cousins," related by way of casting internet personalities with different premises. The FX show follows a group of co-dependent 20-somethings living in Queens, New York, as they navigate various situations, including health insurance, interpersonal relationships, and the complexities of citizenship. It stars a group of actors and comedians who have a few acting credits to their name, consisting of Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao, and Owen Thiele. - YouTube Sort Of is a show on HBO Max that deserves more love from Americans. This Canadian sitcom follows an acerbic nonbinary South Asian millennial named Sabi Mehboob (Bilal Baig), who is based in Toronto. Audiences watch as Sabi navigates embracing their identity while working as a bartender in a queer bar and babysitting a young couple's kids, all while dealing with a somewhat understanding family. The heartwarming show won a Peabody Award and ran for three seasons. - YouTube Almost everyone agrees that they would not want to relive their middle or high school days. However, it may not seem applicable to Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle, who decided to play fictionalized versions of themselves in their early teenage years in the early 2000s. At first, PEN15 is a cringe-fest of uncomfortable yet relatable moments that most young people experience in middle school; however, these moments ultimately bring the two main characters closer together. We watch, over two (very) quick seasons, as Maya and Anna maneuver (physically and figuratively) through unpleasant moments of excruciating awkwardness that come with growing up and learning about yourself. The show delicately addresses more complex topics, such as race and sexuality. - YouTube Three seasons of Derry Girls isn't enough, but we can understand quitting while you're ahead. This Netflix show centers around a group of misfits in 1990s Northern Ireland during the final year of the Troubles. Audiences are treated to a hilarious romp featuring a truly stellar cast that portrays young kids in an all-girls Catholic secondary school, figuring out life amidst political unrest. The group features Erin (Saoirse-Monica Jackson), her cousin Orla (Louisa Harland), their friends Clare (Nicola Coughlan), Michelle (Jamie-Lee O'Donnell), and James (Dylan Llewellyn). - YouTube The title sort of gives away the show's premise. Sex Education follows the show's protagonists, Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield) and Eric Effiong (Ncuti Gatwa), as Otis accidentally becomes an expert on sex at their school. He is not particularly well-versed in that department, but his mother, Jean (Gillian Anderson), is a sex therapist. Having grown up speaking openly about the topic (and being surrounded by videos, books, etc.), he teaches his classmates what he knows. The Netflix series doesn't primarily focus on heterosexual sex, nor does it only focus on intercourse. It has an afternoon special/public service announcement sort of lilt without sounding too preachy, and it substitutes that for interpersonal drama. - YouTube We will never forgive HBO Max for canceling Our Flag Means Death after it released the show's second season. While it may not be a coming-of-age show, it still feels like one. Audiences follow Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby) as he becomes the captain of the Revenge. Bonnet, however, is not like other pirate ship captains; he is dubbed "the gentleman pirate" for a reason — he's actually very lovely and a great boss to his underlings, listening to their concerns and allowing them to voice their feelings. The Revenge encounters the infamous pirate, Blackbeard (Taika Waititi), who is initially at odds but quickly forms an unbreakable bond. When Our Flag Means Death announced it wasn't returning for a third season on Max/HBO Max, its creator expressed interest in finding a new home for the show — alas, to no avail. BlackBonnet will live on in our hearts. - YouTube Yes, we know this is a kid's show, but this kid's show has heart. It has themes of love, acceptance, and chosen family, all wrapped into a program that feels like a big, warm hug. Steven Universe follows the story of the Crystal Gems, a group of intergalactic magical beings who are tasked with taking care of the titular character. Steven, a half-gem half-human boy, is figuring out how to use his powers, protecting his town — Beach City — from alien attacks, and learn more about himself. This kids' show is not just a silly, fun time; it also features depictions of queer relationships and made history as the first children's animated show to feature a same-sex wedding. If you're looking for another show about young people discovering more about themselves, we can't recommend this one enough.

3 underrated Amazon Prime Video movies you should watch this weekend (June 6-8)
For as long as Prime Video has existed, the streaming service has been home to plenty of great movies. The problem for users is when they log in, they receive the same recommendations repeatedly. If you're looking for some underrated gems, that's where we can help. We've pulled together this list of titles, each of which is well worth your time and has a totally distinct sensibility: Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+. September 5 (2024) A tight, short procedural about people doing their jobs, September 5 follows ABC's sports crew at the 1972 Olympics in Munich as they find themselves in the middle of a hostage situation after members of the Israeli team are held captive. As they work to figure out exactly what is happening and begin telling the story live, they scramble to use their limited resources to get to the truth. September 5 is tense, filled with great actors who seem like real people, and a reminder that journalism at its best can deliver truth when no one else is around. It's also a smart look at a moment in history with eerie echoes today. You can watch September 5 on Amazon Prime Video. 25th Hour One of Spike Lee's best and most under-discussed movies, 25th Hour follows a man preparing for a lengthy prison sentence in the days after 9/11. In addition to being a remarkable chronicle of the city in the wake of unimaginable tragedy, it's also the study of a man who is reevaluating everything about his life in light of his sentence. As he spends time with his friends and girlfriend in the hours before he has to report to prison, we come to see the life he's leaving behind and all the choices he made that led him to where he is now. You can watch 25th Hour on Amazon Prime Video. Bottoms (2023) Like a strange combination of Clueless and Fight Club, Bottoms follows two gay best friends who decide to start a fight club at their high school to meet girls and eventually lose their virginity. As the club moves from self-defense to an excuse to wail on one another, the girls find themselves losing control and struggling to remember what the club was for to begin with. Anchored by two remarkable central performances from Ayo Edebiri and Rachel Sennott, Bottoms is outrageously funny and the kind of teen comedy that we should be getting at least four of every year. You can watch Bottoms on Amazon Prime Video.

Peacemaker season 2 trailer seems to embrace the Multiverse as John Cena's antihero meets his doppelganger
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A new trailer for Peacemaker season 2 has arrived - and it's already packing in cameos, surprises, and major teases about what's to come as the fan favorite streaming series returns. In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, we see John Cena suit up once again as Peacemaker for an interview with the Justice League, specifically with Sean Gunn's Maxwell Lord, Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl, and Nathan Fillion's Green Lantern Guy Gardner. But things don't go exactly as planned. Have a look: Along with the appearance of the Justice League, we learn that the season will focus on Frank Grillo's Rick Flag Sr. hunting down Peacemaker for killing his son back in The Suicide Squad. We get some flashes of heavy action, some heartfelt moments with the cast, and a hilarious introduction to some new characters. But that's not all - the trailer ends with Peacemaker passing through what appears to be a doorway to another reality to confront another version of himself from the Multiverse. Could this be the mechanism that brings together the continuity of the recently relaunched DC Studios with the previous version? Or is this something else entirely, a misdirection? The returning cast includes Freddie Stroma's Adrian Chase, Steve Agee as John Economos, Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, and Danielle Brooks' Leota Adebayo. We also have Tim Meadows, Sol Rodriguez, David Denman, and Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr. - who, if you might recall, has some unfinished business with Peacemaker. Season 1 hit HBO and Max in 2022, prior to James Gunn and Peter Safran's takeover of DC. The overhaul and new slate of projects had some fans worried that Peacemaker wouldn't make the cut, but the hero fits right in DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. Peacemaker season 2 is due to be released on HBO and Max in the US and Sky in the UK sometime in 2025.
