SDCC 2024: The Boys Is Getting a Soldier Boy and Stormfront Prequel Series Called Vought Rising
The Boys is getting a prequel series called Vought Rising starring characters Soldier Boy and Stormfront.
Announced during a San Diego Comic-Con 2024 panel attended by IGN, Vought Rising will see Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash reprise their roles from Prime Video’s smash hit series, with The Boys executive producer Paul Grellong in place as showrunner.
Ackles announced Vought Rising on-stage, and said the producers are currently writing the scripts. Vought Rising is described as a lurid prequel set in the 1950s about the humble beginnings of monstrous corporation Vought. Cash then appeared via a recorded video to announce her involvement, and to say she’s read the scripts. “We’ve got everything from Judy Garland to Paul McCartney,” she said. A release date wasn't mentioned.
Other The Boys spinoffs include the animated The Boys Presents: Diabolical and the upcoming The Boys: Mexico.
The Boys just wrapped up its Season 4 finale (complete with accompanying warning from Amazon). Season 5, which does not have a release date, will be its last. During the SDCC panel, showrunner Eric Kripke confirmed Soldier Boy will be a regular in Season 5, which won't come as much of a surprise to anyone who's up to date. "So he’s back," Kripke said. "The motherf***er is back."
