The Boys Star Confirms Major Update on Its Most Exciting Spinoff With a Big Franchise Tease

by

Fans of Prime Video’s The Boys have a lot to look forward to this spring! The show is coming back for a fifth and final season, and the recently released trailer suggests it will be the most impressive season yet – with hints that the character Homelander might meet his end. Plus, Jensen Ackles will reprise his role as Soldier Boy, not only in the final season but also in a prequel series called Vought Rising. Although we don’t have a release date for the prequel yet, Jensen Ackles just shared some exciting news about it.

Jared Padalecki shared a video on Instagram celebrating the last day of filming for ‘Vought Rising.’ While he was showing how long it took to get into his Soldier Boy costume, he also hinted at something bigger: the show might have more than one season. He began the video by saying it was the final day of filming for ‘Vought Rising’ Season 1, suggesting there could be future seasons.

What Do We Know About Vought Rising?

Currently, details about Vought Rising are limited, but we know it’s a prequel to The Boys taking place in the 1950s. The show will focus on the early adventures of Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy, alongside the scheming of Stormfront, played by Aya Cash. Described as a dark and mysterious story, Vought Rising will explore the beginnings of the Vought company. The cast also includes Mason Dye, Elizabeth Posey, Will Hochman, Jorden Myrie, Nicolo Pasetti, Ricky Staffieri, Brian J. Smith, and Kiki Layne.

Although details are limited, Jensen Ackles has hinted that the upcoming series Vought Rising will show a different side of Soldier Boy. The show will be set before the events of The Boys, revealing a more sensitive version of the character before he developed the tough exterior we’re used to. This should be a compelling way to revisit him, especially considering how familiar we are with his current, hardened persona.

It’ll be fascinating to see how the new series Vought Rising might shed light on storylines hinted at for the final season of The Boys, even if it’s after the fact. The season 5 trailer showed the tense relationship between Soldier Boy and Homelander, and also teased a reunion between Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins, both of whom are joining the cast. The trailer suggests a strong dislike between Soldier Boy and Collins’ character, as we see Soldier Boy choking him. It will be interesting to find out if this conflict is current, or if it has roots in the past, and both The Boys‘ final season and Vought Rising should help reveal that.
