Gen V Star Finally Reveals Batman: Caped Crusader Season 2 Release Window
DC fans, start the countdown: Hamish Linklater says Batman: Caped Crusader Season 2 has finally locked a release window, teasing when the Dark Knight returns on Prime Video.
If you have been waiting on Batman: Caped Crusader Season 2, there is finally a window to circle on the calendar. It is not tomorrow, but it is real.
So, when is Season 2 coming?
Hamish Linklater, who voices Batman in the Prime Video series, says the next batch of episodes should land in 2026. He shared the update while talking to MovieWeb about his role in Gen V Season 2, adding that the team is still in the thick of it right now.
"Sometime next year, I think they will show it, but yeah, we have been working on it."
Translation: there is no exact date yet, but the plan is a 2026 premiere. His phrasing was "next year" relative to now, which lines up with 2026.
Where things stand
Season 2 is actively in development. Linklater joked that he keeps pestering the creators to speed things up, even offering to help with the drawings himself. The vibe is: they are on it, he is excited, and we are waiting on the schedule gods to cooperate.
The inside baseball part
Bruce Timm developed Batman: Caped Crusader, and the show took a winding road to release. It was originally headed to Max, which then dropped it. In March 2023, Amazon’s Prime Video stepped in, bought the distribution rights, and ordered two seasons, per The Hollywood Reporter. That streamer shuffle explains some of the lag between seasons — not unusual, just messy.
Who is in it
- Hamish Linklater as Batman
- Jason Watkins
- Eric Morgan Stuart
- Krystal Joy Brown
- Michelle C. Bonilla
- Jamie Chung
- Diedrich Bader
Bottom line: Caped Crusader’s second season is on track for 2026 on Prime Video. No exact date yet, but the work is happening and the cast is locked. If anything shifts, I will update — until then, patience, Batsignal at the ready.
