However, issues for Avengers: Doomsday came up due to Jonathan Majors’ legal troubles. On December 18, 2023, Majors was found guilty of two misdemeanor charges of harassment and assault. Soon after, reports stated that the MCU had severed ties with the actor, and Avengers: The Kang Dynasty would be rebranded as Avengers 5 for now. The new title, Avengers: Doomsday, was announced a few months later.

Avengers Doomsday: Latest News

Marvel Studios has officially revealed the cast for Avengers: Doomsday, and as expected, it includes a huge list of characters, with some exciting surprises along the way. The massive cast features members from The Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, Avengers, and even Fox’s original X-Men characters.

Additionally, other major MCU characters who usually don’t belong to a team will also appear in the film. Some of the confirmed names include Shang-Chi, Shuri, Loki, Thor, and more.

Avengers: Doomsday was always expected to feature a large number of characters, but some of the announcements were truly surprising. It seemed like Avengers: Secret Wars would be the movie to bring together characters from all of Marvel’s cinematic history. Now, with Doomsday, it looks like Doctor Doom will have quite a challenge ahead of him.

Avengers Doomsday: Realese Date

Originally scheduled for release on May 2, 2025, Marvel has moved the release date of Avengers: Doomsday to May 1, 2026. Since the story revolves around the iconic Fantastic Four villain, Doctor Doom, it seems the film will follow directly after The Fantastic Four‘s debut at the beginning of the MCU’s Phase 6. However, it’s possible that another movie could fill the gap in late 2025, especially since Blade was removed from Marvel Studios’ release schedule.

Avengers Doomsday: Cast

Here’s the list of Avengers: Doomsday characters and their respective actors:

• Doctor Doom – Robert Downey Jr.
• Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards) – Pedro Pascal
• Invisible Woman (Susan Storm) – Vanessa Kirby
• The Human Torch (Johnny Storm) – Joseph Quinn
• The Thing (Ben Grimm) – Ebon Moss-Bachrach
• Bucky Barnes – Sebastian Stan
• Yelena Belova – Florence Pugh
• US Agent (John Walker) – Wyatt Russell
• Alexei Shostakov – David Harbour
• Ghost – Hannah John-Kamen

• Nightcrawler – Alan Cumming
• Mystique – Rebecca Romijn
• Gambit – Channing Tatum

This cast includes a mix of returning MCU characters and beloved X-Men from the original Fox films!

Avengers Doomsday: Story details

Strictly speaking, Avengers: Doomsday should be the climax of the Multiverse Saga, alongside Avengers: Secret Wars, tying together the various MCU multiverse storylines for a massive showdown with Doctor Doom. Based on the confirmed cast, it looks like the film will unite multiple factions of the MCU. With Secret Wars being announced and its comic book connection to the multiverse and incursions, it suggests that Avengers 5 won’t be the end, but rather an escalation that sets up the villain (or villains) for Avengers 6.

It’s been made clear that the multiverse is fragile, and both Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home hint at the main MCU world experiencing some damage. As a result, Doctor Doom’s threat is likely to combine his own powerful presence with universe-ending Incursions—either setting the stage for Avengers: Secret Wars to explore these ideas fully or using them to cause chaos in the fabric of reality. This would push the MCU’s main heroes into a direct conflict with Doctor Doom.

Benedict Cumberbatch recently mentioned that Doctor Strange wouldn’t be in Avengers: Doomsday due to the MCU shifting away from Jonathan Majors and Kang. However, he later clarified that Doctor Strange will indeed appear in the film. It’s still unclear exactly how much the story changed by replacing Kang the Conqueror with Doctor Doom as the villain. With Doctor Strange officially confirmed, it seems very likely that the movie will have a strong focus on the multiverse.

Similarly, with the main cast of Thunderbolts confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday, it’s clear that the events of this film will have a significant impact on the next Avengers movie as well.

It’s also important to mention that the setup for Avengers: Doomsday seems to be coming soon with some of the MCU’s upcoming releases. The Fantastic Four: First Steps stands out as the most obvious, likely introducing Doctor Doom or at least teasing more details about him, while also introducing a new hero team that will play a key role in the story. Similarly, with the main cast of Thunderbolts confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday, the plot of this upcoming installment is sure to have a significant impact on the next Avengers movie as well.

While Deadpool & Wolverine sets a hopeful precedent by suggesting that universes can recover from certain types of threats, it’s still unclear what kind of danger Avengers: Doomsday will present to the primary MCU world. The specific risks to the roster of iconic heroes haven’t been revealed yet. However, what is clear is that whatever challenges the team faces, they will be new and incredibly dangerous.

How Avengers: Doomsday fits into the MCU

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released just five years after the Multiverse Saga began with WandaVision in 2021, which is about half the time it took for the MCU’s Infinity Saga to build up to Avengers: Infinity War after Iron Man in 2008. Much like Infinity War leading into Avengers: Endgame, Avengers: Doomsday will be the first part of a two-part Avengers event, with the second installment, Avengers: Secret Wars, arriving in 2027.

The Multiverse Saga has had its ups and downs, but Doomsday and Secret Wars have the potential to wrap up the second major MCU saga in an epic way, fully embracing the multiverse concept to bring together the largest cast of characters the MCU has ever seen, drawn from decades of adaptations. While it marks the end of the Multiverse Saga, it’s likely that Avengers: Doomsday will also begin setting the stage for the next phase of the MCU’s future.

In an interview with Omelete, Joe Russo discussed how Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars differ from Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame in terms of their impact on the MCU. The most notable difference is that these upcoming Avengers films appear to mark a new beginning for the MCU, rather than the end of a saga like Infinity War and Endgame did with the Infinity Saga. His statement reads:

“The greatest thing that ever happened is we got to, you know, get immersed in a 20-movie arc and see an ending to that arc. What’s compelling about these two new Avengers movies is they’re a beginning. It’s a new beginning. We told an ending story, now we’re going to tell a beginning story. And then who knows where we’ll go from there. Maybe it’ll be another 5 years, but I think we just needed that time and perspective to figure out where it needed to go next, and the only thing that brought us back was the right story.”

The Pitt is known for its realistic take on the daily struggles of an emergency room and the tough challenges healthcare workers face while trying to save lives as quickly as possible. Each hour-long episode represents one hour in Dr. Robby’s (played by Noah Wyle) shift as the chief emergency room doctor. His job requires him to train new medical students, handle staff shortages, and deal with the heartbreaking loss of both patients and fellow healthcare workers who risk their lives during medical crises.

For Wyle, this role is a fresh challenge, as he is best known for playing Dr. John Carter on ER. Now, he steps into the modern, post-COVID medical world, bringing a new perspective to his performance. He is joined by a talented cast, including Tracey Ifeachor, Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa, Supriya Ganesh, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell, and Shabana Azeez.

John Wells Productions teamed up with Warner Bros. Television to bring this exciting new medical drama to life. With John Wells, the former ER showrunner, leading the way, the show benefits from a wealth of experience. Alongside him, creator R. Scott Gemmill and star Noah Wyle add even more talent, making Warner Bros. confident in the team behind The Pitt. Following the show’s renewal, WBTV Chairman Channing Dungey expressed excitement about the series’ future. In an official statement, he praised Wells, Gemmill, and Wyle, highlighting their vision for Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital and what’s to come.

“From its powerful stories to its realistic set and unique real-time format, The Pitt is truly a masterclass in storytelling — and it’s all due to the talented team of executive producers and crew, and the incredible ensemble cast who truly embody the pace and pressure of a hospital emergency department. John, Noah, Scott and the team have so many more stories to tell, and we are thankful to our partners at Max for giving them the opportunity to do so.”

What Does the Future Hold for ‘The Pitt’?

The unique format of The Pitt—with each season covering just one day in the emergency room—allows for an in-depth look at how a shift can unravel based on unpredictable medical emergencies and the patients who arrive. Unlike other medical dramas that focus heavily on the personal lives of characters, this real-time, work-centered approach means there’s still a lot to uncover about the ER staff, including Dr. Robby himself. Speaking at the Warner Bros. TV press day earlier this month, John Wells shared his enthusiasm for the show’s future. “We believe there are a lot more stories to tell, and we’re excited,” he said. “We have a fantastic cast, and getting to spend more time with them—I’d be as interested as you are, as an audience member, to see what else there is to learn about these people.”

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Galitzine gave an update on the film, hinting that there will be some changes to the familiar story. However, he also promised a “nostalgic” feel that will bring some of the classic animated characters to life on screen. He mentioned:

“Look, what I will say is our version is quite different from the original animation, which we all agree was camp within its own right and worked so well for the time. But there’s been a couple of iterations, obviously since there was the Revelation version of Master of the Universe, and the comics themselves. And we’re very much treating our script as as Bible, you know. But it’s kind of amazing to hear what this show meant to a lot of people. It was really formative for a lot of people, so it’s exciting to do something that will have a nostalgia element as well as hopefully attract a bunch of new fans.”

A rumored ‘Masters of the universe’ plot changes canon

There are many rumors about how Masters of the Universe will introduce He-Man to a new audience, more than 40 years after his original animated debut. While Dolph Lundgren’s 1987 movie has become a cult favorite, it didn’t fully explore the variety of villains from the cartoon. Instead, it featured new characters like Saurod, Karg, and Blade, alongside familiar ones like Evil-Lyn and Beast Man.

This time, the movie will bring several characters from the cartoon to live-action for the first time, including Skeletor’s minions Trap-Jaw and Tri-Klops. According to a rumored plot from scooper Daniel Richtman, the story is expected to go like this:

“10-year-old Prince Adam crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword—the only link to his home on Eternia. After tracking it down almost two decades later, Prince Adam is whisked back across space to defend his home planet against the evil forces of Skeletor. But to defeat such a powerful villain, Prince Adam will first need to uncover the mysteries of his past and become He-Man: the most powerful man in the Universe!”

In many ways, this storyline seems to match Galitzine’s recent comments, as well as other rumors suggesting that Prince Adam will be on Earth at the start of the movie. The recent casting of Jared Leto as Skeletor has caused mixed reactions among fans, but excitement for the film is still growing. The movie is set to hit theaters on June 5, 2026.

In the interview, Wayans shared that fans often ask about White Chicks because they “love that movie” and are always curious when it will return. For the past twenty years, a sequel to White Chicks seemed unsure, but this time Wayans was much more excited about it. He said:

“Hey, you know, I think it’s time. Let’s finish ‘Scary Movie 6’ first, and then we’ll bring out ‘White Chicks 2’.”

Although Wayans’ comment seems pretty certain, the sequel hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, and fans will only truly believe it when production begins. The movie has great potential to be a box office success: White Chicks has a massive global fanbase that loves quoting the film and is excited for a new adventure featuring FBI agents Marcus and Kevin Copeland in their white girl disguises.

White Chicks was released in 2004, and although it didn’t impress critics – with a low 15% score on Rotten Tomatoes – it still made over $100 million worldwide. The movie later became a huge hit on DVD and developed a cult following because of its over-the-top, campy style. Marlon and Shawn Wayans’ disguises as white girls were far from convincing, but fans actually found this awkwardness to be what made the movie even funnier.

when is White chicks 2 Happening?

Even though there’s a lot of excitement, we should temper our expectations since this isn’t the first time a Chicks sequel has been mentioned. The most recent talk of a sequel came in 2019, but the rumors eventually faded. This is the first time Wayans has brought it up in years, but the fact that he’s revived the Scary Movie franchise could be a sign that he and his brothers are ready to bring more of their classic comedies back to the big screen.

The original cast of White Chicks also included Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Busy Phillips (Cougar Town), Maitland Ward (Boy Meets World), Jaime King (Black Summer), Frankie Faison (Grey’s Anatomy), Lochlyn Munro (Riverdale), John Heard (NCIS: Los Angeles), Anne Dudek (Bosch), and Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter: New Blood).

During the livestream, Smith shared his excitement about the possible sequel, saying, “There’s a really cool Hancock 2 idea… We haven’t even talked about it.” He then teased the casting by mentioning, “I’m going to give you one little piece. Zendaya [is] being approached for a role in Hancock 2.”

The first Hancock film, directed by Peter Berg and written by Vince Gilligan and Vy Vincent Ngo, featured Smith as the main character, a troubled superhero who has trouble recalling his past.

The movie also starred Charlize Theron, Jason Bateman, and Eddie Marsan in important roles.

A sequel to Hancock has been in the works since the original film came out, with Berg confirming in 2009 that Smith and Theron would return for the follow-up. However, the project has faced delays because of scheduling conflicts and other challenges.

In 2012, Berg provided an update on the sequel, saying that making the film happen was “a question of timing.” According to Deadline, he also mentioned that Smith had an idea for the sequel and the team was excited to move forward with it.

More recently, in 2020, Theron expressed her interest in returning for the Hancock sequel, telling ComicBook, “I’ll still make that movie, I would do it in a heartbeat.”

The live-action series The Eternaut, based on the graphic novel by Héctor Germán Oesterheld and Francisco Solano López, will be available on Netflix on April 30. The six-episode show was created and directed by Bruno Stagnaro (Okupas) and co-written by Stagnaro along with writer-actor Ariel Staltari (Un Gallo para Esculapio).

When will The Eternaut be released?

The Eternaut will premiere on Netflix on April 30.

What happens in The Eternaut?

Buenos Aires has only experienced snow three times in recorded history. Yet, snowflakes begin to fall, covering the ground. It looks beautiful, but something feels wrong. This weather is deadly: anyone who comes into contact with the snowflakes dies instantly, causing millions of deaths. What is this deadly force, and what other dangers will follow? As the survivors come forward, one man, Juan Salvo, rises among them, determined to fight back against this invisible threat.

Is The Eternaut Based on a Book?

Yes, it’s based on the Eisner Award-winning graphic novel The Eternaut (El Eternauta), written by Oesterheld and illustrated by Solano López. The comic was released in parts from 1957 to 1959 and was later compiled into a single volume in 2015.

Stagnaro shared with Netflix, “The Eternaut was one of the first things I read in full when I was 10 years old.” He highlighted the novel’s cultural importance in Argentina and explained his approach to the adaptation: “I want to stay true to that child reader who first discovered the story, trying to capture the real emotion of experiencing an adventure right in your own neighborhood, and the creation of that iconic Argentine hero, Juan Salvo.”

New Trailer for The Eternaut

Where was it filmed?

The series is set in Buenos Aires, and that’s where the filming took place.

Stagnaro explained, “The city is a living presence, almost like another character.”

ABC’s hit comedy procedural High Potential has revealed a different side of Kaitlin Olson, and now the show has been renewed for a second season. Adapted from the French series HPI, the story follows Olson’s character, Morgan, a highly intelligent woman with a 160 IQ who works as a janitor at the LAPD to support her three children. When she unexpectedly solves a case using her sharp mind, she is hired as a consultant to assist detectives with other investigations. By blending classic police procedural elements with humor, High Potential adds a fresh twist to the genre while keeping its story relatable.

One of the main reasons High Potential stands out is Kaitlin Olson’s performance, as she smoothly shifts from her over-the-top comedy roots in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia to a more grounded role. Despite being a more traditional series, High Potential received glowing reviews from critics (via Rotten Tomatoes) in its first season, proving its strong appeal. High ratings signaled that Morgan’s work with the LAPD was far from over, and ABC wasted no time in ordering a second season of the hit comedy.

Latest News About the Season 2

High Potential made a strong debut on ABC, so it’s no surprise that a second season is on the way. The show debuted with strong viewership across multiple platforms, and its momentum didn’t slow down even after a holiday break. In fact, when it moved from 10 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays, viewership increased to an average of 5.74 million same-day viewers. This impressive performance left ABC with no choice but to renew High Potential for a sophomore outing. High Potential is only the second ABC show this season, alongside Abbott Elementary, to get a renewal, proving its overwhelming popularity. Despite early doubts about sustaining its initial success, the series held its audience and managed to grow, solidifying its place as one of ABC’s top new shows.

High Potential Season 2 Cast Details

Filling the gap left by shows like Psych, High Potential stands out due to Kaitlin Olson’s performance as the brilliant single mom, Morgan. If the show continues for a second season, Olson’s return is almost certain, as she is the key figure that could help turn the series into a long-term success. Alongside her, Daniel Sunjata is expected to reprise his role as Detective Karadec, who still needs to be convinced that Morgan belongs with the LAPD. Javicia Leslie is also likely to return as Daphne, Karadec’s partner on the force, keeping the core team intact.

The expected cast for High Potential Season 2 includes:

• Kaitlin Olson as Morgan
• Daniel Sunjata as Karadec
• Javicia Leslie as Daphne
• Deniz Akdeniz as “Oz” Ozdil
• Amirah J as Ava
• Matthew Lamb as Elliot
• Judy Reyes as Selena

High Potential Season 2 Plot Details

Though Season 1 might wrap up the main subplot, Morgan’s search for answers about Roman’s disappearance will likely continue. With her sharp intellect and access to the LAPD’s resources, she could uncover the truth behind his vanishing, leading her into an even bigger mystery. No matter what, Season 1 has already set a clear structure for High Potential Season 2 to follow. Viewers can expect Morgan to use her exceptional mind each week to help detectives solve major crimes across the city.

When is High Potential Season 2 going to premiere?

ABC has not yet announced an official premiere date for High Potential Season 2, but given the show’s strong performance, it is expected to return in Fall 2025 or early 2026. The series debuted as one of ABC’s top new shows, consistently drawing impressive viewership numbers, making it a priority for the network. If production follows a similar timeline as the first season, filming could begin in mid-to-late 2025, setting up a likely premiere in ABC’s fall lineup. However, delays due to scheduling or production adjustments could push the release to early 2026.

Netflix’s 3 Body Problem has grabbed the attention of viewers with its complex story and exciting visuals, making it a standout in the sci-fi world. Based on the popular book series by Cixin Liu, the show explores the idea of first contact with an alien civilization. It combines science fiction with deep drama, offering a unique and thought-provoking look at what the future could hold for humanity. 3 Body Problem has quickly become a must-see for sci-fi fans.

Renewed for Season 2 and Beyond

In May 2024, Netflix confirmed the renewal of 3 Body Problem for two more seasons, making it a trilogy as per the original source material. This ensures that the show will stay true to the vision of the book series. Showrunners David Benioff, D.B. Weiss (famous for Game of Thrones), and Alexander Woo (known for True Blood) have expressed their enthusiasm about continuing the story, promising more thrilling and thought-provoking content for viewers.

During an official panel in Los Angeles, D.B. Weiss shared, “While Season 1 introduced many key elements from Cixin Liu’s novels, the heart of why we wanted to create this show lies in Season 2. We always aimed to reach the final page of the trilogy, and it’s thrilling to know we’ll get there.” This statement highlights the show’s deep commitment to staying true to the essence of the novels and building towards a fulfilling conclusion.

What is 3 Body Problem about?

3 Body Problem, based on the bestselling novels by Cixin Liu, has become a massive hit on Netflix, spending three weeks at No. 1 and reaching the Top 10 in 93 countries. The show blends themes of alternate realities, impending alien invasion, and humanity’s response to existential threats. It explores how humanity chooses to respond to its gravest threat, starting during China’s Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, where the young Ye Wenjie makes a fateful decision that reverberates across time and space into the present day. This decision leads to an alien contact that sets the stage for an epic battle for humanity’s survival.

The plot of Season 1 deviates slightly from the books, moving the central location from Beijing to London, where a group of scientists known as the “Oxford Five” makes contact with an alien race, the San-Ti. The season sets up a thrilling universe, with unresolved storylines that have left fans eager for the next chapter. The characters, such as Saul Durand (Jovan Adepo), Thomas Wade (Liam Cunningham), and Sophon (Sea Shimooka), quickly became fan favorites, adding to the show’s appeal with their compelling performances.

In addition to its gripping storyline, 3 Body Problem has achieved significant commercial success. Three songs from its soundtrack, including Lana Del Rey’s “Video Games,” hit Billboard’s Top TV Songs Chart, with “Video Games” reaching No. 1. Books associated with the series, like The Three-Body Problem and Silent Spring, appeared on Amazon’s Most Sold Chart shortly after the series’ release, and the book returned to The New York Times Best Seller list. It also topped The New York Times’ Audio Fiction list in May 2024, further cementing the series’ impact.

What will season 2 be about?

According to the creators of 3 Body Problem, Season 2 will closely follow the events of the second book in Liu Cixin’s trilogy, continuing the grand, intricate narrative. While the adaptation has made changes, such as shifting the setting to English-language locations and introducing new characters, the core story remains true to the novels.

Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have hinted at the immense scale of the trilogy, suggesting that the third book might even require two seasons to fully capture the complexity and depth of its conclusion. Benioff teased that the final page of Liu Cixin’s epic is one of the most moving and mind-blowing conclusions they’ve ever encountered, making it clear that the finale will be both emotionally and intellectually powerful.

With the success of Season 1 and the established foundation, Season 2 is poised to dive deeper into the story, exploring the human response to the alien threat and the unraveling of natural laws. The blend of science fiction, political intrigue, and philosophical exploration promises to elevate the series even further.

Who’s Likely to Return?

While Netflix has not yet made official cast announcements for 3 Body Problem Season 2, several key characters from Season 1 are expected to reprise their roles. Returning cast members are likely to include:

• Jovan Adepo as Saul Durand
• John Bradley as Jack Rooney
• Liam Cunningham as Thomas Wade
• Eiza González as Auggie Salazar
• Sea Shimooka as Sophon
• Benedict Wong as Da Shi
• Jonathan Pryce as Mike Evans

These characters were integral to Season 1’s success, and their return will likely add to the anticipation for the next chapter of the series.

When Will Season 2 Release?

Although the exact release date for 3 Body Problem Season 2 has not been announced yet, filming is scheduled to begin in early 2025 at Shepperton Studios in London. Given that Season 1 took about nine months to produce, followed by extensive post-production work, it is expected that Season 2 will premiere sometime in 2026. This timeline suggests that fans can look forward to the next chapter of the series in 2026.

Even though Carl Hiaasen has been a best-selling author for over 40 years, Hollywood has only tapped into his works a few times. Bad Monkey is the first major project to fully embrace one of his signature funny mysteries on a big scale. While the show’s ending made some adjustments to the novel, it also set up an exciting continuation. Though it took some time for the streaming service to decide on a second season, it’s now confirmed that Bad Monkey will return for season 2.

Bad Monkey season 2 is confirmed

After months of uncertainty, Apple TV+ finally renewed Bad Monkey in December 2024. Given its success, the renewal seemed like an obvious choice, but a second season wasn’t a sure thing. Thankfully, the show will be back with more episodes soon, though many details are still under wraps. It’s possible that season 2 could adapt Hiaasen’s sequel novel, Razor Girl, but that hasn’t been confirmed yet.

Bill Lawrence, known for Ted Lasso, helped create Bad Monkey for Apple TV+ and will continue to oversee the second season. The renewal further strengthens his successful partnership with the streamer, and with Lawrence in charge, Bad Monkey has the potential to become a long-running hit. Lawrence shared his excitement about the renewal, expressing his admiration for Hiaasen and how thrilled he is to bring the work of “an idol” to life once more.

Read Lawrence’s comments here:

“I hope people understand that Carl Hiaasen is a huge inspiration to me as a writer. It’s exciting to continue telling his story with Vince Vaughn and the amazing cast, at least with the characters who are still alive. I’m really grateful to our partners at Apple TV+ and Warner Bros, as well as the whole team who helps bring this show to life.”

Bad Monkey season 2 Cast Details

The star-studded cast of Bad Monkey was one of its biggest strengths, but not everyone survived season 1. Because of that, the second season will likely feature a mix of new cast members, while some characters from the first season will return. Vince Vaughn is confirmed to reprise his role as Andrew Yancy, the detective-turned-health-inspector, a character that perfectly captures Hiaasen’s style. It’s still unclear who else will return, though it’s expected that a few, like Natalie Martinez’s character Rosa, will join Vaughn in season 2.

Here’s a list of the actors and their roles in Bad Monkey season 1, with potential returns in season 2:

• Vince Vaughn as Andrew Yancy
  (Yancy sitting in a beach chair in season 1, episode 10)
• Natalie Martinez as Rosa Campesino
  (Rosa visiting Yancy after their fight in season 1, episode 10)
• Michelle Monaghan as Bonnie Witt
  (Bonnie calling Yancy from a resort in season 1, episode 10)
• Ronald Peet as Neville Stafford
  (Neville on a call with Yancy in season 1, episode 8)
• John Ortiz as Rogelio Burton
  (Rogelio furious, talking on the phone in season 1, episode 6)
• Todd Allen Durkin as Sheriff Summers
  (Sheriff Sonny holding the bill they tried to bribe him with in season 1, episode 8)
• David St. Louis as Carter “Egg” Ecclestone

It’s unclear which of these characters will return, but some of them might join Vince Vaughn in season 2.

Bad Monkey season 2 Story details

While the story for Bad Monkey season 2 hasn’t been confirmed yet, it’s likely that it will adapt Carl Hiaasen’s 2016 novel Razor Girl. This book is a sequel to Bad Monkey, with Andrew Yancy once again taking center stage. Hiaasen doesn’t typically write direct sequels, preferring to reuse his characters in different stories where they encounter new mysteries. Since the first book’s plot has already been covered, Bad Monkey season 2 will either need to create an original storyline or draw inspiration from the novel for the next chapter.

Given creator Bill Lawrence’s deep appreciation for Hiaasen and his books, Razor Girl seems like a natural choice for season 2. The novel follows the character of Merry Mansfield, also known as Razor Girl, a kidnapper working for the mafia. She’s assigned to kidnap a wealthy beach redeveloper but mistakenly kidnaps the talent manager for a reality TV star instead. Without his handler, the star makes some offensive jokes, causing him to go on the run. When bits of the star’s beard end up in a restaurant’s kitchen, health inspector Andrew Yancy gets involved in the case of the missing reality star.

With a new mystery in play, Bad Monkey season 2 will likely introduce a mostly new cast, as Razor Girl only brings back Andrew Yancy, Rosa, and Sheriff Summers. However, since the show has already taken creative liberties with the source material, there’s no reason why any surviving characters from season 1 couldn’t make an appearance. This offers an opportunity for the writers to explore more character development, something that’s often overlooked in the books due to their fast-paced, humorous nature. Overall, Bad Monkey season 2 has plenty of material to work with.

Not really, especially if the spin-off has a strong story to tell—and Gen V Season 1 certainly delivered. Fans of The Boys know that its core idea is more complex than just “a world where all superheroes are bad.” While major figures like Homelander (Antony Starr) and Stormfront (Aya Cash) are undeniably evil, there are genuinely good individuals like Starlight (Erin Moriarty) and Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott). The Supes in The Boys universe may have incredible powers, but they are still regular people with personal goals and flaws. This balance is what makes this anti-franchise franchise truly stand out.

Gen V Season 1 stands out because it feels less like the start of a new series and more like a continuation—almost The Boys Season 3.5. While it doesn’t center on the main characters from the original show (though a few make cameo appearances), it delivers crucial information that could significantly impact the entire The Boys universe. At the same time, the story of college students discovering what it truly means to be superheroes holds its own, thanks to a cast of compelling new characters.

Who Stars in ‘Gen V’ Season 2?

The full cast list for Gen V Season 2 has not yet been released, but it’s safe to say that we’ll see more than a few returning faces. The most likely returning star is Jaz Sinclair, who led the Season 1 ensemble cast as tragic blood-manipulating first-year student Marie Moreau. We’ll likely also see many of Marie’s classmates return as well, including Lizze Broadway as Marie’s shrinking roommate Emma Meyer, Maddie Phillips as mind-controller Cate Dunlap, London Thor and Derek Luh as shapeshifter Jordan Li, and Asa Germann as puppet-slaying Sam Riordan.

Hamish Linklater (Midnight Mass) is joining the Gen V Season 2 cast in a new role. While details about his character remain under wraps, Eric Kripke shared his excitement about the casting, saying, “I’ve wanted to work with [Hamish] forever. He was so unbelievable in [Midnight Mass]. He’s a very complicated, mysterious character. I’m excited for people to see him.”

Chance Perdomo (Andre Anderson) tragically passed away before the filming of Gen V Season 2. Prime Video released a statement saying:

“As we continue to navigate the tragic loss of Chance Perdomo, everyone at Gen V is determined to find the best way to pay respect to his memory. We won’t be recasting the role, because no one can replace Chance. Instead, we have been taking the time and space to recraft our Season 2 storylines as we begin production in May. We will honor Chance and his legacy this season.”

Eric Kripke later followed up this statement with his own, saying:

“First, it’s just so unbelievably tragic, and my heart goes out to his family. We’re not trying to replace him because we can’t. We’re playing the character’s death on the show. So it’s very heavy and it’s really emotionally difficult for the cast. And we’re just trying to honor Chance as best we can.”

Gen V season 2 plot

Gen V Season 1 ends with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger as Cate and Sam turn Godolkin University into chaos. After freeing the Supes imprisoned in The Woods, Cate and Sam lead a violent spree across the campus. Marie and her friends attempt to stop them but fail when Homelander arrives, taking down Marie with his laser vision.

In a shocking twist, a global news broadcast portrays Marie, Emma, Jordan, and Andre as the villains, while Cate and Sam are hailed as heroes – a narrative likely crafted by Cate’s powerful manipulation abilities. This setup mirrors the events of The Boys Season 4, hinting at an inevitable crossover between the two series.

Showrunner Eric Kripke has confirmed that Gen V Season 2 will pick up directly after The Boys Season 4, which ended with major developments like Butcher obtaining the Supe-killing virus and Martial Law being declared. Fans can look forward to seeing how Gen V Season 2 expands the story ahead of The Boys Season 5.

Gen V season 2 release date speculation

There is no official release date for Gen V Season 2 yet, but the good news is that filming wrapped in November 2024, and the show is now in post-production. Given that Season 1 aired roughly a year after filming wrapped on its episodes, we’re optimistic that Prime Video will aim for a late-2025 or early-2026 release for the highly anticipated second season.
