Class is back in session as The Boys spin-off Gen V-following college-aged superheroes, AKA 'Supes' - returns for a second semester laced with bloody chaos, corruption and Compound V.

We last saw Supes-in-training Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), Jordan Li (played by both Derek Luh and London Thor) and Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway) locked away in a mysterious facility, while Cate Dunlap (Maddie Phillips) and Sam Riordan (Asa Germann) were hailed as Guardians of Godolkin University after a campus massacre.

As Season 2 picks up months later, America is adjusting to Supe leader Homelander's (Antony Starr) authoritarian rule, while Godolkin is now under the terrifying tutelage of a sinisterly charming new principal, Dean Cipher (Hamish Linklater).
