Gen V season 2’s trailer continued the trend of huge movie and TV show reveals at SDCC 2024 by answering what happens to Marie, Emma, and Jordan. At the end of Gen V season 1, the three were trapped alongside the late Chance Perdomo’s Andre. With Gen V confirming Andre would not be recast, only Marie, Emma, and Jordan were spotted in Gen V season 2’s trailer. In the tease, the three are shown being escorted back to Godolkin University’s main campus by Cate herself.

This reveals that the trio did not need to figure out a means of escape from wherever they were imprisoned, instead being set free by Cate. The trailer for Gen V season 2 also showcased Cate feeling a sense of remorse for her actions in season 1, while Sam Riordan remains his unfeeling, now-villainous self. Cate’s development is undoubtedly the most interesting here, typified by her freeing Marie, Emma, and Jordan from their incarceration.

With Cate freeing Marie, Emma, and Jordan, the question now is what this means for Gen V season 2’s story as a whole. Cate and Sam appeared in minor roles in The Boys season 4 as part of Homelander’s trusted inner circle of Supes, hinting that they will have a big role to play in the future of his new world order. With Cate freeing Marie and her friends, after imprisoning them in the first place, she could be looking to convert them to her way of thinking.

Screen Rant discovered that Gen V season 2 was confirmed for a 2025 release date at SDCC 2024.

Cate could have been given more power in Godolkin’s set-up at the onset of Gen V season 2, now that Homelander has more political power. This way, she could be responsible for brainwashing younger Supes into fighting for Homelander in the future. With Cate showing remorse over her actions in Gen V season 1, she could see it as a way to lessen her guilt if her friends are won over to Homelander’s side. Regardless, these updates are incredibly interesting and promise big developments in the world of The Boys for Gen V season 2.
