Yep, The Boys show no signs of slowing down!

Set in the same dark and twisted universe, this upcoming series promises to delve into the sinister origins of Vought International in the 1950s.

The news was announced in spectacular fashion when Jensen Ackles, who plays Soldier on The Boys, made a surprise appearance on stage, sparking excitement and speculation among the audience.

Executive producers Eric Kripke and Paul Grellong, who also serves as showrunner, expressed their enthusiasm for the new venture: “We are thrilled to bring you another crazy series from the world of The Boys.

“This is a twisty whodunit about the origins of Vought in the 1950s, the early exploits of Soldier Boy, and the diabolical maneuvers of the Superhero fans know as Stormfront, who at the time went by the name Clara Vought.

“We can’t wait to blow your minds and stir your souls with this debauched, macabre saga soaked in blood and Compound V.”

A star-studded cast and creative team

The Vought Rising project will feature the dynamic duo of Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash, who will also serve as producers.

Ackles’ portrayal of the Soldier has already charmed audiences, while Cash’s menacing portrayal of Stormfront has become downright iconic.

Their on-screen chemistry and compelling characters are sure to bring an electrifying dynamic to the prequel series.

The creative team behind Vought Rising is a goldmine of talent, including executive producers Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Ori Marmur, Pavun Shetty, Ken Levin, Jason Netter, Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson and Michaela Starr.

The series, produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios in association with Kripke Enterprises, Point Grey Pictures and Original Film, promises the high-quality production design and storytelling fans have come to expect from The Boys universe.

Jensen Ackles is a busy man

The news comes as something of a surprise, considering Jensen Ackles has already been putting in more time starring in the CBS series Tracker, as well as another Prime Video series, Countdown.

Countdown and Vought International are both Prime Video series, so Ackles won’t be forced to choose between two full-time jobs.

The benefit of working for one service is that it gives you control over your time. This is one actor who deserves praise. Long live Ackles’ relationship with Prime Video!

And we can’t help but wonder: Since Jared Padalecki is set to join The Boys, could he join Ackles at Vought Rising for the Supernatural reunion? May our beating hearts remain still!

A Retrospection of the Vought Legacy

Set in the 1950s, Vought Rising tells the story of the origins of Vought International, the mysterious corporation responsible for creating the superheroes in The Boys.

The series will explore the early exploits of Soldier Boy and the sinister history of Clara Vought, later known as Stormfront.

This deep dive into Vought’s dark history will reveal the corporation’s ruthless tactics and horrific use of Compound V, painting a macabre picture of the origins of the Supe world.

Continuing the legacy

Vought Rising joins the ranks of successful The Boys spin-offs, including Gen V and The Boys Presents: Diabolical, which are available exclusively on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories worldwide.

This expansion of The Boys universe showcases the enduring popularity of the series and the creative team’s commitment to delivering crazy, over-the-top storylines.
