The world of The Boys is rewinding to the ’50s, with Prime Video releasing a first look at their new spinoff series, Vought Rising. The series will explore the origins of Vought International, the Amazon-coded evil megacorp at the centre of the hit franchise. It’s been described as a murder mystery.

At the centre of the new show are Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy, Aya Cash as Stormfront, Mason Dye as Bombsight, Elizabeth Posey as Private Angel, and Will Hochman as Torpedo. KiKi Layne, Jorden Myrie, Nicolo Pasetti, Ricky Staffieri, and Brian J. Smith also star.

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

Kripke recently teased that viewers should expect a much grittier tone than The Boys, which we deem to be relatively gritty already. “It’s definitely got some Boys‘ DNA in that it’s irreverent and graphic,” Kripke said. “But it has this sort of lovely, almost noir-like murder mystery — not Black Noir but actual noir. There are detectives and twists, and there’s a murder that then opens up into a bigger conspiracy.”

Vought Rising will premiere in 2027.
