College can be a bloody mess and Prime Video‘s freshman series Gen V is back for its sophomore year. Bringing more drama, more violence and more action, the delightful spinoff to the streamer’s highly successful, action-packed comedy The Boys, is an exciting entry to the era of Vought superheroes. Gen V’s second season lands on Prime Video starting today, Sept. 17, at at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT.
Expect just as much gore, violence, drama and, of course, mystery as a new generation of super-human students claw (and probably even kill) their way to the top rankings of a superhero-only school, Godolkin University, and uncover the many secrets of Vought. Based off the trailer, fans of The Boys can expect many cameos from characters in the main series, including Starlight, A-Train, Black Noir and hopefully Homelander.
How to Stream ‘Gen V’ Season 2 Online for Free
Just like the show it takes inspiration from, Gen V is a Prime Original, which means you’ll need a Prime membership to watch. Signing up will grant you access to Prime Video to watch Gen V as well as a whole suite of benefits, including fast same-, next-, or two-day free shipping; discounts at Whole Foods Market, access to exclusive shopping events — like Prime Day and Black Friday — and more.
Amazon is offering a 30-day free trial for new users who want to test out the service. When the trial is up, you can either cancel the streaming service altogether, or you can keep watching for $8.99/month for the base Prime Video plan. But, if you want all the perks that come with Amazon Prime, it goes for $14.99/month (or $139/year) — a nearly 25% savings.
Looking for additional affordable streaming options? Students can get 6-months of Prime for free when you sign up for the student membership, which is also half off. EBT/Medicaid recipients can get 30-days free under the qualifying government program membership, which is also 50% off.
Along with Gen V, a subscription to Prime Video will give you access to the entire library of original and exclusive content, TV shows and movies including The Boys, Citadel, Daisy Jones & The Six, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Harlan Coben’s Shelter, Swarm, Medellìn, The Power, Kelce, Harlem, I’m a Virgo, Invincible, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, The Horror of Dolores Roach, Fleabag, The Summer I Turned Pretty, The Wheel of Time and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Better Call Saul and more.
