What is Gen V Season 2 about?: Plot Details

Picking up after the bloody and chaotic events of Season 1’s cliffhanger, Gen V Season 2 explores how Godolkin University adapts to new leadership and a changed political climate under Homelander’s control. The mysterious new Dean Cipher, played by Hamish Linklater, mandates a new, rigorous curriculum designed to make students more powerful than ever. Meanwhile, heroes Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway), Jordan Li (London Thor/Derek Luh), and others struggle with trauma and reputations after being framed for brutal events on campus.
