Vought Rising is an upcoming prequel series set in the universe of The Boys, joining other spin-offs like the canceled Gen V and the animated The Boys Presents: Diabolical. The final episodes of the fifth season of The Boys served as an introduction to this new prequel, which is set in the 1950s and expands upon the original series created by Eric Kripke.
Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash are set to star in and produce Vought Rising, reprising their roles from The Boys as Soldier Boy and Stormfront, respectively.
Elizabeth Posey joined the cast of Vought Rising as Private Angel in March 2025. Mason Dye portrays Bombsight and made his debut in episode 6 of The Boys season 5. Will Hochman will take on the role of a Vought hero named Torpedo. Jorden Myrie, Nicolò Pasetti, Ricky Staffieri, and Brian J. Smith were added to the main cast in August 2025.
What is the series Vought Rising about?
Vought Rising, a prequel to The Boys, delves into a twisted murder mystery and explores the origins of Vought in the 1950s. The series will focus on the early exploits of Soldier Boy and the villainous schemes of a superheroine known to fans as Stormfront, who was then called Clara Vought. The producers stated in 2024, “We are eager to blow your minds and disturb your souls with this scabrous and macabre saga, drenched in blood and Compound V.”
Soldier Boy and Stormfront share similar origin stories. Soldier Boy, portrayed by Ackles, is the first ageless American superhero, created by Frederick Vought during World War II. Stormfront was the first person to successfully test Vought’s Compound V, and they were married before moving to the United States.
The executive producer of The Boys, Paul Grellong, will serve as executive producer and showrunner for Vought Rising. The series comes from the same core creative team behind the The Boys franchise, led by its creator, executive producer, and showrunner, Eric Kripke.
Kripke is an executive producer on Vought Rising alongside 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 is a production of Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios, in association with Kripke Enterprises, Point Grey Pictures, and Original Film.
When is Vought Rising from The Boys universe being released?
While the prequel series Vought Rising began production in 2025, its premiere is scheduled for 2027 on an unspecified date by Amazon, exclusively available on the Prime Video platform.
