“Gen V” Gets Season 2 Renewal

Prime Video’s “Gen V” has passed its freshman year with flying colors and will soon head into its sophomore year! The streamer has officially ordered a second season of the global hit, a spinoff to its beloved superhero satire “The Boys.”

Set in the same universe, “Gen V” centers on Godolkin University, the prestigious superhero-only college where students train to be the next generation of heroes (preferably with lucrative endorsements). But when the students discover something bigger and more sinister is going on at the school than just superpowers and super-popularity, they’re put to the test.

Watch the trailer for “Gen V” Season 1 below:

The series stars Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Marco Pigossi and also features guest stars Clancy Brown and Jason Ritter, as well as appearances from “The Boys” actors Jessie T. Usher, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and P.J. Byrne.

“Gen V” premiered on Prime Video on Sept. 29 and will wrap up its first season in two weeks on Nov. 3.

“The Nun II” Is Coming to Max

Just in time for your Halloween festivities, Max is serving up some unholy horror. The service has announced New Line Cinema’s “The Nun II” will make its streaming debut on Friday, Oct. 27.

A sequel to “The Nun” and the latest installment of “The Conjuring” franchise, “The Nun II” is set in 1956 France when a priest is murdered, evil spreads, and Sister Irene once again comes face-to-face with Valak, the demon nun.

Watch the trailer for “The Nun II” below:

The film premiered in theaters last month on Sept. 8. Taissa Farmiga returns as Sister Irene and Jonas Bloquet returns as Maurice. Storm Reid, Anna Popplewell, and Bonnie Aarons make up the rest of the principal cast. Michael Chaves directs from a screenplay by Ian Goldberg, Richard Naing, and Akela Cooper.

Netflix’s “Rustin” Gets Full Trailer

Less than a month away from its Netflix streaming debut, George C. Wolfe’s “Rustin” has received its first full official trailer.

Wolfe (“Ma Rainey's Black Bottom”) returns to the streamer to helm the biopic of Bayard Rustin, the architect of 1963’s historic March on Washington who challenged authority and never apologized for who he was, serving alongside giants such as Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., Adam Clayton Powell Jr., and Ella Baker as they dared to dream a better world and inspired a movement.

“Rustin” stars Colman Domingo in the title role opposite an all-star ensemble of Chris Rock, Glynn Turman, Audra McDonald, Aml Ameen, Gus Halper, Johnny Ramey, CCH Pounder, Michael Potts, Carra Patterson, Adrienne Warren, Bill Irwin, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Jeffrey Wright, Lilli Kay, Jordan-Amanda Hall, Jakeem Dante Powell, Ayana Workman, Grantham Coleman, Jamilah Nadege Rosemond, Jules Latimer, Maxwell Whittington-Cooper, Frank Harts, and Kevin Mambo.
