For most of the first season of Prime Video’sGen V,Lizze Broadway’s Emma Meyer was predictably found with her roommate Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair) orSam Riordan (Asa Germann), the young Supe she saved from captivity at the sinister underground research center known as The Woods. WithThe Boys’ first live-action spin-off series being such a hit among the franchise’s dedicated fandom, a second season is on the way with the Season 1 finale leaving viewers on a cliffhanger. During an interview with Collider’sPerri Nemirofffor an installment of Nemiroff’sLadies Nightseries, Broadway chatted about who she hopes to see Emma bond with during the next batch of episodes.
Reflecting on her character’s Season 1 relationships, Broadway said, “It’s so funny because in the first season, again, she had Sam, Marie, and an alpaca.” While she had a bit of screentime withChance Perdomo’s Andre Anderson– who sent her on the recon mission to The Woods — the only other character that we saw Emma interact with was thegender-shifting Jordan Li, played by Derek Luh and London Thor. “Seeing the quick interactions Jordan has with Emma, like in Episode 4 when she’s like, ‘Holy shit, a lot is happening,’ with Jordan, that was our first interaction together.” Broadway explains that the pair next encounters one another when Jordan is “In female form, when [Emma’s] like, ‘You have sex hair.’”
With all of these speedy run-ins, Broadway thinks a banter is building between the two characters, revealing that she’s thought, “‘These two could be a comedy duo,’” adding, “I would love to see what Jordan teaches Emma and what Emma teachesJordan.” Although she notes that both characters are similar in their “no-nonsense” attitudes, Broadway admits that they’re “Very different, too… Jordan’s kind of cold,Emma’s kind of warm and playful. I feel like it would be a very siblings dynamic. I would love to explore that.”
What’s Coming For the Teens in Season 2 of ‘Gen V’?
When it comes to what Broadway thinks the chances are of Emma and Jordan sharing more screen time in the second season, she says, “I do know my character. And I think that would just be a fun character development to explore between those two characters… But I’m not a writer.”
Aside from her relationship with Jordan, audiences can expect Emma to struggle with the fallout between her and Sam as well as her continuous struggle to overcome the trauma from her past. As for the rest of the characters, the season finale saw them locked up courtesy ofHomelander(Antony Starr) and Vought. Now the number one enemy of thecorrupt company, it will be a challenge for the group to escape captivity and stay off Vought’s radar.
