The Boys is over after its fifth and final season, but this diabolical universe still has lots of bizarre stories to tell. Vought Rising will take us back to explore the early days of Vought with a murder mystery and lots of Soldier Boy shenanigans. We will learn more about supes and people we’ve already met as well as meet new characters who certainly ain’t heroes. Who will star in Vought Rising and what can we expect from the series?
Here’s everything we know about Vought Rising.
Title
The official title of the series is Vought Rising.
Vought Rising’s Plot
Right on the heels of The Boys’ final episode, we got our first teaser trailer for Vought Rising. In it, we go to New York in 1950 as a young Soldier Boy aims to be a part of fighting for his country. He wants to be a hero and Clara Vought is willing to help him do just that. We get glimpses of V1 injections, lots of blood, and a very noir feel throughout the clip. It doesn’t seem to have the satirical tone of the OG series, so we will have to wait and see what happens.
Here’s the general synopsis for Vought Rising is that 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.”
There is a hint into Vought Rising’s twisted journey, thanks to an IG post revealing that the first episode is titled “Red Scare.” The episode is written by EP/showrunner Paul Grellong and directed by Sam Miller.
This title is likely a reference to the real-life Red Scare that took place in the 1940s and 1950s. It was a period of time where people were really afraid of anyone whom they perceived to be a part of communist and socialist movements in the USA. The fears/suspicions from this moral panic could quickly escalate to persecution and violence. People found their freedom of speech and right to assemble being thwarted by the powers that be in charge. Sadly, this sounds all too familiar, even in 2026.
We have gotten some tidbits about what we might see in Vought Rising, thanks to The Boys season five. The show took Soldier Boy to Fort Harmony, where Frederick Vought did early experiments on soldiers and injected them with V-One. As we know, that’s what’s running in Soldier Boy’s veins and what Homelander wants in his. We ran into Quinn, who was mutated by V-One and causing a haze of hate in the dilapidated former military base. It’s clear that Quinn and Soldier Boy had a connection and a terse relationship, so we should get more of that and Fort Harmony in Vought Rising.
And, we will get more about the deep ties between Soldier Boy and Stormfront, whom he knew better at Clara Vought. Bombsight also popped up in The Boys, and we will likely learn more about him and how he relates to Soldier Boy in Vought Rising as well.
Behind-the-Scenes
Paul Grellong will be the showrunner and executive producer for Vought Rising. The Boys’ showrunner Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Ori Marmur, Pavun Shetty, Ken Levin, Jason Netter, Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson, Michaela Starr, and Jim Barnes are all executive producers on the series. We know that Sam Miller will direct at least the first episode of the series. The show wrapped production in March 2026, and is now going through the post-production process.
Vought Rising’s Cast
Of course, Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash will return as Soldier Boy and Stormfront/Clara Vought, respectively. It really works in their favor that many supes do not age. Mason Dye will portray Bombsight, a supe who made his debut in The Boys season five and ended up living out his life without powers with his longtime love Geisha.
Will Hochman and Elizabeth Posey will portray Torpedo and Private Angel. KiKi Layne, Jorden Myrie, Nicolò Pasetti, Ricky Staffieri, and Brian J. Smith will all star in this show as well in undisclosed roles. Raphael Sbarge, Romi Shraiter, Aaron Douglas and David Hewlett are all in Vought Rising in recurring roles that are currently under wraps.
