During the highly anticipated Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con, fans of the Emmy-winning series The Boys were treated to a thrilling surprise announcement: the launch of a new prequel series titled Vought Rising.
Yes, The Boys shows no signs of slowing down!
This upcoming series, set in the same dark and twisted universe, promises to delve into the sinister origins of Vought International in the 1950s.
The news was delivered in a spectacular fashion as Jensen Ackles, who portrays Soldier Boy in The Boys, made a surprise appearance on stage, igniting excitement and speculation among the audience.
Ackles then introduced a special video message from Aya Cash, who plays the infamous Stormfront, which must have really amped up the anticipation of their appearance.

Executive producers Eric Kripke and Paul Grellong, who also serves as the showrunner, expressed their enthusiasm for this new venture: “We are excited to bring you the next deranged series from the world of The Boys.
“It’s a twisted murder mystery about the origins of Vought in the 1950s, the early exploits of Soldier Boy, and the diabolical maneuvers of a Supe known to fans as Stormfront, who was then going by the name Clara Vought.
“We cannot wait to blow your minds and trouble your souls with this salacious, grisly saga drenched in blood and Compound V.”
A Star-Studded Cast and Creative Team
Vought Rising will feature the dynamic duo of Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash, both of whom will also serve as producers.
Ackles’ portrayal of Soldier Boy has already captivated audiences, and Cash’s menacing performance as Stormfront was nothing short of 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 powerhouse 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.
Produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios, in association with Kripke Enterprises, Point Grey Pictures, and Original Film, the series promises high-quality production and storytelling that fans have come to expect from The Boys universe.
Jensen Ackles is a Busy Man
This news comes as a bit of a surprise, considering that Jensen Ackles is already committed to more time on the CBS series Tracker as well as another Prime Video series, Countdown.

Countdown and Vought International are both Prime Video series, so Ackles will not be forced to choose between two full-time gigs.
The benefit of working for one service is that they have control over your time. This is one actor who deserves the accolades. Long live Ackles’s relationship with Prime Video!
And we can’t help but wonder: with Jared Padalecki poised to join The Boys, could he also join Ackles on Vought Rising for a Supernatural reunion? Be still our beating hearts!
A Look Back at the Legacy of Vought
Set against the backdrop of the 1950s, Vought Rising will explore the origins of Vought International, the shadowy corporation responsible for the creation of superheroes in The Boys.
The series will reveal the early days of Soldier Boy’s exploits and the sinister rise of Clara Vought, later known as Stormfront.
This deep dive into the dark history of Vought will uncover the corporation’s ruthless tactics and the chilling use of Compound V, painting a grisly picture of the early days of the Supe world.
Continuing the Legacy
Vought Rising joins the ranks of successful The Boys spinoffs, including Gen V and The Boys Presents: Diabolical, both streaming exclusively on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories worldwide.
The expansion of The Boys universe shows the franchise’s enduring popularity and the creative team’s commitment to delivering over-the-top, insane storylines.
