But when can you expect Gen V’s latest episode? All you need to know:
What can you expect from the next Gen V episode?
Prime Video is keeping a very tight lid on the season finale of its superhero show this week. It has not even revealed what the title of the episode will be.
The eighth and final episode of Gen V season two will be written by showrunner Michele Fazekas and Justine Ferrara. It is the first episode of the season that the showrunner has a writing credit on.
What time is Gen V season 2 episode 8 out?
It might be hard to believe but there are just two episodes left, including this week’s episode. The Boys spin-off has kept viewers hanging on with another rip-roaring yarn in series two.
Gen V’s latest episode is set to be released on Wednesday (October 22). It is the season finale.
Prime Video is very regular when it comes to the release time for its original shows and movies. The streaming giant actually has a pretty favourable schedule for viewers in the UK or Europe.
Gen V’s latest episode will come out at 8am British time on October 22, which is 9am CEST for those across the Channel. Back in its native America, the show will release at 3am ET/ 12am PT and will be waiting when viewers wake-up.
Expect similar timings for all of the other episodes, unless otherwise specified.

What is Gen V season 2 about?
Following the dramatic end to its first season in late 2023, you might be wondering where the show could go from there. More characters from its parent show - The Boys - are expected to appear in the latest batch of episodes.
A synopsis for Gen V series 2 from Prime Video reads: “School is back in session. As the rest of America adjusts to Homelander's iron fist, back at Godolkin University, the mysterious new Dean preaches a curriculum that promises to make students more powerful than ever.
“Cate and Sam are celebrated heroes, while Marie, Jordan, and Emma reluctantly return to college, burdened by months of trauma and loss. But parties and classes are hard to care about with war brewing between Humans and Supes, both on and off campus.
“The gang learns of a secret program that goes back to the founding of Godolkin University that may have larger implications than they realize. And, somehow, Marie is a part of it.”
