Although The Boys has officially wrapped its five-season run, Prime Video isn’t finished exploring its brutal superhero universe. The franchise’s next chapter is Vought Rising, a prequel series that promises to uncover the dark origins of Vought International decades before Homelander, Butcher, and The Seven.
Set in the 1950s, the upcoming series combines superhero action, political intrigue, and a noir-inspired murder mystery while bringing back two of the franchise’s most recognizable Supes.
Here’s everything we know about Vought Rising so far.
What Is Vought Rising About?
Unlike previous entries in The Boys universe, Vought Rising travels back to the early days of Vought International.
The story follows Soldier Boy (Ben) and Clara Vought, who fans know as Stormfront (formerly Liberty), during the company’s earliest years as it transforms into the powerful corporation seen throughout The Boys. Executive producers have described the series as a twisted murder mystery set against the backdrop of 1950s America, mixing detective noir with the franchise’s trademark violence and dark satire.
When Is Vought Rising Coming Out?
Prime Video has confirmed that Vought Rising will premiere in 2027, although an exact release date has not yet been announced. The series has already completed filming, making a 2027 debut the current expectation.
Who Is in the Cast?
Several familiar faces are returning alongside new additions.

The growing ensemble includes:

Additional recurring cast members have also been announced as production has continued.
How Does Vought Rising Connect to The Boys?
Rather than continuing after the events of The Boys, Vought Rising explores how everything began.
Fans will learn:
How Vought International first rose to power. Soldier Boy’s earliest missions. Clara Vought’s transformation before becoming Stormfront. The origins of Compound V and early Supes. The corruption that eventually shaped the entire franchise.
Showrunner Eric Kripke has also said the series is designed so that new viewers can enjoy it without watching The Boys first.
Will There Be a Trailer?
A short teaser has been released, giving fans their first glimpse of the series’ 1950s setting and noir-inspired atmosphere. A full official trailer is expected closer to the show’s 2027 premiere.
Why Vought Rising Could Be the Franchise’s Most Important Series
While Gen V expanded the modern world of Supes, Vought Rising has the opportunity to answer questions fans have been asking for years.
The prequel could finally reveal:
How Vought became the world’s most powerful corporation. Soldier Boy’s rise before becoming America’s first superhero icon. Stormfront’s early influence inside Vought. The secrets behind Compound V. The events that laid the foundation for everything seen throughout The Boys.
By exploring the franchise’s origins, the series could reshape how fans view nearly every major character and event from the original show.
Final Thoughts
Although The Boys has reached its conclusion, Vought Rising ensures the franchise continues in a very different direction. With a period setting, returning fan-favorite characters, and a noir-style mystery centered on the birth of Vought International, the series is shaping up to be one of Prime Video’s biggest releases in 2027.
