The Boys franchise is growing with a new spinoff series, Vought Rising, which was announced this past summer at Comic-Con.
Jensen Ackles will star in the series reprising his role as Soldier Boy. Ackles will also be joined by Aya Cash, who will reprise her role as Stormfront.
Ackles’ Soldier Boy is the first American non-aging Supe, created by Frederick Vought during World War II. Stormfront was Frederick Vought’s first successful test subject for Compound V and she married him before they moved to the U.S.
Cash recently shared that she is reading the scripts for the series and they are “insanely good”. She told CB: “I’ve read two scripts and they’re absolutely insanely good. But that’s about all I can tell you.”
The Boys series executive producer Paul Grellong will serve as executive producer and showrunner on Vought Rising, which was created by the main creative team behind The Boys franchise, led by Eric Kripke.
Kripke and Grellong offered details on the series saying: “We are excited to bring you the next deranged series from the world of The Boys, Kripke and Grellong said, before lifting the veil on the time period and premise of the prequel.
“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.”
Vought Rising does not yet have a release date yet, but fans seem to be really excited about what the show is going to deliver.
