The second season of Amazon Prime’s “The Boys” spin-off, “Gen V,” is setting the stage for a more shocking new season with Hamish Linklater joining the cast. Linklater, known for shows like “Legion,” “Fargo,” and Mike Flanagan’s series “Midnight Mass,” will star as the new Dean of Godolkin University.

Variety reports that Linklater’s character will fill the void left by Dean Shetty (Shelley Conn), who met a gruesome fate in season one. While Shetty initially appeared benevolent, the truth revealed her to be the sadistic mastermind behind the university’s horrific experiments. The college desperately needs a new leader, but within the twisted world of “The Boys,” that’s easier said than done because looks can be deceiving.

The official description paints Linklater’s character, Cipher, as a “charismatic and charming” man. His political astuteness garners the trust of high-level officials. Is Cipher the stabilizing influence Godolkin craves, or is there more to the story? There are also hints that he may be a “supe” (superpowered individual) himself.

The series’ massive cast includes Jaz Sinclair, Jason Ritter, Chance Perdomo, and Shelley Conn. Other cast members include Lizzie Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Derek Luh, Sean Patrick Thomas, Alexander Calvert, and Marco Pigossi. Unfortunately, the series is down one actor after Chance Perdomo tragically lost his life in March.

It will be a while before  “Gen V” season two premieres. In the meantime, tune in for the premiere of the highly anticipated fourth season of “The Boys” on June 13, 2024.
