Jensen Ackles ‘The Boys’ has just released some exciting news for fans. The actor revealed that the highly anticipated spinoff “Vought Rising” is made with multi-season potential, delving deep into the 1950s world of Soldier Boy. As filming wraps up, this prequel promises bloody twists on the origins of Vought’s empire alongside Aya Cash’s Stormfront. Excitement builds for the next satirical hit after the Season 5 finale of ‘The Boys’.
Will there be a big spin-off for ‘The Boys’ season 5?
“Vought Rising” transports viewers to 1950s New York City, tracing the sinister roots of the Vought empire and the dawn of twisted superhero culture. Jensen reprises his role as Soldier Boy, alongside Aya Cash as Stormfront (Clara Vought), joining Elizabeth Posey and Will Hochman. In an interview with Collider, Ackles revealed the big plan. “The goal is to make it a multi-season series,” he confirmed, noting the field’s focus on longevity. He unloaded on the first season of Soldier Boy, saying, “He’s the main character. But you’re also going to witness the journey that led him to be who he is. We’re going to uncover the layers of what really happened in that era.” This set-up contrasts the later fractured personality of “The Boys”, revealing the true history behind their World War II hero status and Cold War arrogance.
What happens behind the scenes?
Production recently wrapped, paving the way for post-production and a late 2026 or early 2027 launch. Ackles immediately took on the project after ‘The Boys’ season 5 premiered on April 8, 2026.
