Hamish Linklater joins an already crowded Gen V season 2.
The main heroes of Gen V's season 1 finale survive a dangerous encounter with Homelander (Antony Starr), so fully tying The Boys with its college-set spinoff. The closing moments of the Prime Video show expose the core group imprisoned in what seems to be a rather isolated medical facility. In any case Marie (Jaz Sinclair), Jordan (Derek Luh, London Thor), Emma (Lizze Broadway), and Andre (Chance Perdomo) have no idea where they are.
Major adjustments are confirmed in the forthcoming episodes in line with the sad passing of Perdomo. At 27 years old, the actor died in March following a motorcycle accident. Gen V's creators have reiterated since then that they will not recast Perdomo. "We will honor Chance and his legacy this season," their united comment notes in part. Gen V Season 2 does not yet have a stated premiere date.
