Gen V Makes a Comeback in Prime Video’s Top 10 Before Season 2 Premiere

The highly-anticipated Gen V, the spinoff of the popular superhero series The Boys, has made a triumphant return to Amazon Prime Video’s Top 10 streaming chart right before the launch of its second season. First hitting screens in 2023, the show chronicles a new group of young superheroes honing their skills at Godolkin University under the shadow of Vought International.

Gen V Season 1 was a massive hit with audiences and critics alike, boasting an impressive 97% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes—exceeding even the first season of The Boys. The talented ensemble cast includes Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, and more. The story cleverly combines The Boys’ signature dark humor with a university backdrop, expanding the franchise’s story universe.

Currently sitting at No. 6 on Amazon Prime Video’s Top 10 TV Shows list as of September 7, 2025, Gen V has surged back into the spotlight. Only a few titles stand above it, like The Summer I Turned Pretty and Countdown. This resurgence is a familiar pattern in the streaming world, where viewers circle back to catch up on earlier seasons before the new ones arrive.

After nearly two years since the end of Season 1, Gen V fans will finally get their fix with the release of the first three episodes of Season 2 dropping on September 17, followed by weekly releases. The buzz around the show indicates not only strong interest in Gen V but also in other projects within The Boys universe, such as Vought Rising and The Boys: Mexico.
