‘The Boys’ Prequel Series ‘Vought Rising’ to Star Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash

The Boys universe is branching out with the prequel series Vought Rising, starring Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash.

The announcement came during The Boys‘ Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2024. Ackles surprised the crowd by sharing the news in person, while Cash joined via video.

Vought Rising is The Boys‘ third spinoff series, joining The Boys Presents: Diabolical, an animated anthology series, and the college-set Gen V, which has already been renewed for a second season. 

This new series brings Ackles back to the show’s universe after an appearance on The Boys‘ Season 4 finale. Variety reports that Ackles will appear as Soldier Boy, who debuted in Season 3, throughout the show’s fifth and final season. 

Meanwhile, Cash hasn’t appeared as Stormfront since The Boys Season 2, when her character debuts, is revealed to have Nazi ties, and eventually is killed. 

Executive producer Eric Kripke and series showrunner and executive producer Paul Grellong shared a bit of what fans can expect from Vought Rising. “We are excited to bring you the next deranged series from the world of The Boys,” they shared.

“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,” Kripke and Grellong added.

“We cannot wait to blow your minds and trouble your souls with this salacious, grisly saga drenched in blood and Compound V,” the duo concluded.

Cash and Ackles will also serve as producers on Vought Rising. 

Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Ori Marmur, Pavun Shetty, Ken Levin, Jason Netter, Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson, and Michaela Starr will also serve as executive producers on the series.

Vought Rising is produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios, in association with Kripke Enterprises, Point Grey Pictures, and Original Film.
