Experience the classic hero style of 'The Boys' prequel, 'Vought Rising': Delve into an era of celebrated protagonists from the 'Vought' universe.
The world of The Boys is expanding with the upcoming prequel spin-off, "Vought Rising," which is now in production [4]. Set in the 1950s, this series will delve into the origins of the corporate entity controlling the superhero world in the Boys universe [1][2].
In the series, we'll see the return of some familiar faces, including Soldier Boy (Jenson Ackles) and Stormfront (Aya Cash) [1]. Stormfront, who was Nazi Germany's superheroic symbol during the war, will be a major focus in Vought Rising [6]. Meanwhile, Mason Dye will play the character Bombsight, and Will Hochman will take on the role of Torpedo [3].
New characters are also joining the ranks, such as Private Angel, played by Elizabeth Posey [3]. The series will also introduce new heroes, adding to the already intriguing cast.
A first look at the characters in Vought Rising has been unveiled, with images showing Soldier Boy in his prime heroic era [7]. These images were shared by Deadline [8].
While the release date for Vought Rising has not been definitively set yet, it is expected to premiere sometime in late 2026 or early 2027 [1][2][4][5]. This timeline makes sense, given that the final season of The Boys is set to return in 2023, and the second season of Gen V is set to air next month [9].
As for The Boys, the series is coming to an end in 2026 [10]. But fear not, fans, as the world of The Boys continues to grow with Vought Rising. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new series.
