In the newly released gen:LOCK season 2 trailer from HBO Max, things look dire for the Polity team, who are set to make a last stand against the Union in Los Angeles. Only a select few are compatible, leaving a small group of elite warriors the only thing standing between their vision of the future and the smothering of civilization. gen:LOCK focuses on a group of Polity recruits who, in an attempt to fight back against the Union invaders, take part in the titular program that allows individuals to upload their consciousness into giant mecha known as Holons. The animated show takes place in a dystopian near-future in which the world has been split into two warring factions: the Polity, an international coalition that advocates for freedom of expression and the Union, an autocratic force hell-bent on establishing a monoculture. The gen:LOCK season 2 premiere on HBO Max is scheduled for November 4. After ending season 1 way back in March 2019, the mecha anime-influenced series from creator Gray Haddock is finally on the cusp of releasing new episodes. The gen:LOCKseason 2 trailer teases Michael B.
