Gen V Season 2 is set to debut this week on Prime Video, and ahead of its release, reviews are beginning to pour in, with the show garnering high praise that doesn’t match the highs of Season 1.
What are the Gen V Season 2 reviews saying?
On Rotten Tomatoes, Gen V Season 2 recently debuted with a whopping 100% rating. However, as more reviews come in, the series dipped down to the 80s, and now sits at an 88% as of this writing. Despite the high praise for the show, the series does still sit below the first season’s score, which earned a whopping 97%.
Despite scoring worse than Season 1, Gen V Season 2 was still praised, with most critics having mostly great things to say about the second season, which premieres on September 17, 2025.
Over on Variety, Alison Herman praised the second season, saying that the social commentary from The Boys remains intact, and that Gen V “rests on the shoulders of its heroes, well-intentioned people struggling to tell real heroism from the pre-packaged kind. Fortunately, they’re still up to the task.”
ComicBook’s James Hunt also loved the second season, calling it “bigger, bloodier” and something that “might be even better than The Boys.” The Boys is also no stranger to massive praise, having scored above 90% on Rotten Tomatoes across all of its seasons.
The Gen V Season 2 cast stars Jaz Sinclair as Marie Moreau, Lizze Broadway as Emma Meyer, Maddie Phillips as Cate Dunlap, London Thor as Jordan Li, Derek Luh as Jordan Li, Asa Germann as Sam Riordan, Sean Patrick Thomas as Polarity, and Hamish Linklater as Dean Cipher.

Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Ken Levin, Jason Netter, Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson, Michaela Starr, Ori Marmur, Thomas Schnauz, Steve Boyum, and Brant Engelstein also serve as executive producers.
