While it was only a year ago that fans last saw Gen V characters Cate and Sam in The Boys season 4 finale, it’s actually been two years since the spinoff itself debuted. Thankfully, the creative team behind the program didn’t miss a beat as the second season is off to a strong start. The season 2 premiere did a perfect job of reintroducing the cast of the show, establishing the storyline for the season, and making sure that audiences knew what had previously happened. Maybe even the universe, because it’s the possible key to defeating Homelander in the final season of The Boys. Without spoiling too much of this episode, Gen V spent a good amount of time establishing each of the characters’ roles.
