Prime Video’s hit series Gen V, the explosive spin-off from The Boys, returns for its highly anticipated second season on September 17, 2025, launching with the first three episodes followed by weekly releases.

Set in the morally complex world of Godolkin University, Season 2 picks up as the campus reels from the fallout of Season 1’s shocking finale. With Homelander’s grip tightening across America, the students face new threats, a mysterious new Dean, and a secret program that could change everything.

Returning to her role as Marie Moreau, Jaz Sinclair shares her excitement. “We left off Season 1 having discovered a whole new level of Marie’s abilities, and I was thrilled to see where the writers were going to go from there with that. Everything felt a bit foreboding and grim, which gave me a lot to play with.”

Gloc-9 And Abaddon’s “Bonethugs” Is Not Your Typical Love Song

Kung kailangan mo siyang suyuin, this song is for you. Rap heavyweight Gloc-9 teams up with lyrical beast Abaddon to drop "Bonethugs.” It’s the perfect anthem for couples who often find themselves in the midst of lovers' quarrels. 

This isn’t your typical love song; it's real talk for real relationships served with that signature Pinoy hip-hop flavor. Gloc-9 and Abaddon spit truth about the relationship grind – the misunderstandings, the short tempers, the apologies that come after. It’s not always good times in a relationship, there are bumps, mistakes, misunderstandings, but at then and of the day your partner is your support and your teammate. As mentioned in the track: “Bakit hindi mo muna ako pakinggan (pwede bang ikaw muna ay makinig). Hindi yung agad-agad mo 'kong pahihirapan ('di ba tayo lang ang magkakampi)”

Straight off Gloc-9's relentless monthly drop schedule, "Bonethugs" hits different with its “real talk,” tackling what it really takes to make love last. The track has bars that cut deep and make you reflect: “Kahit ang sahod ay sa akinse pa, kung may'rong babayaran, ako na’ng bahala, sagot kita. Tanging hiling ko lang ay lambing sa pag-sususumamo ko. Ako'y kakampi mo, pinapangako ko.”

Sometimes we fight hard, but we need to love harder. “Bonethugs” is out now on all major streaming platforms.
