The highly anticipated Gen V season 2, which is set to continue the story of the young supes at Godolkin University, has some exciting updates for the fans of the franchise. After the acclaimed second season, which starred some great young actors, like Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, and Maddie Phillips, the second season has added seven new names to the roaster.
As confirmed by multiple sources, Keeya King, Stephen Kalyn, Julia Knope, Stacey McGunnigle, Tait Fletcher, Wyatt Dorion, and Georgie Murphy are all set to appear in Gen V season 2 in roles that are yet to be disclosed. As so many young actors are being added, it is fair to assume that they could play a new batch of students at the Godolkin University, where the drama will take place, as confirmed earlier.
While all the actors in the list are known faces in the industry, fans may particularly recognize Keeya King from Yellowjackets and Tait Fletcher from The Mandalorian.
Apart from the seven new names, Gen V season 2 also revealed that Hamish Linklater, best known for his starring role in Midnight Mass, has joined the cast as the new University dean, Cipher.
The network also dropped another exciting update about the show, confirming that Gen V season 2 has finally wrapped up filming. This means that fans can expect to see and learn more about the series very soon.
Who are the new actors joining Gen V season 2?
The second season of Gen V will feature seven new actors, who all have a considerable repertoire ahead of this The Boys spinoff.
Keeya King is well-known for her portrayal of Akilah in Yellowjackets, the hit Showtime thriller-drama. Wyatt Dorion, meanwhile, is well-known for his role in The Mouse Trap.
