As The Boys prepares to say goodbye in 2026, the Amazon Prime franchise is gearing up for its prequel spin-off. In Vought Rising, some familiar faces, including Soldier Boy (Jenson Ackles) and Stormfront (Aya Cash) are set to feature, alongside some new heroes.
The upcoming Amazon series will explore the origin story that establishes the foundation for the nefarious presence of the corporate entity controlling the superhero world throughout the history of the Boys universe. Today, the streamer unveiled (via Deadline) a first look at the characters, including Ackles’ return as Soldier Boy in his prime heroic era.

Aside from Ackles, the first look also introduced us to Mason Dye’s Bombsight, Elizabeth Posey’s Private Angel, and Will Hochman as Torpedo. Cash’s Stormfront was nowhere to be found; however, she will be a major focus in the series, which will be set in the 1950s and explore her dynamic with the world of supers after being Nazi Germany’s superheroic symbol during the war, having been opposed by Soldier Boy himself.
There’s no date yet for when Vought Rising is set to hit Prime, but the series is now entering production—so we’ll need to just keep waiting for The Boys‘ final return next year in the meantime (and the arrival of Gen V season 2 next month).
