The world of The Boys is expanding. Prime Video has ordered a new prequel to the popular superhero series. The prequel is titled Vought Rising and will star Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash as Soldier Boy and Stormfront, respectively. Set in the 1950s, the story follows the origins of the corporation that creates superheroes and uses them for profit. The series was announced during a panel at Comic-Con International: San Diego.
Executive producers Eric Kripke and Paul Krellong said the following about the series:
“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.”
According to Kripke, Ackles will also appear in the final season of The Boys. The premiere dates for Vought Rising and season five of The Boys will be announced later.
