Vought Rising release date, plot details & everything else we know about The Boys spinoff

Another spinoff in the universe of The Boys is in the works, though rather than focusing on students, this one harkens back to the origins of Vought and Compound V following WWII. Here’s everything you need to know about Vought Rising.
Although The Boys itself is drawing to a close with Season 5, the IP isn’t going away anytime soon. Season 2 of Gen V is just around the corner, there’s every chance we get Season 2 of Diabolical, and now, another live-action spinoff is moving ahead too.
Vought Rising is set to give our earliest look yet at The Boys universe beyond a handful of scattered flashbacks through the mainline show. Set in the 1950s, it’ll feature a number of fresh faces alongside returning stars.
So from the earliest production details to a rundown of the full cast, here’s everything you need to know about the Vought Rising spinoff.
Is there a release date?
There is currently no release date or even rough release window for Vought Rising.
Given production only just got underway in August, 2025, it’d be wise not to hold your breath for an imminent release.
We likely won’t see the first season of this spinoff until the tail end of 2026 or early 2027. Furthermore, the new spinoff will definitely want to avoid the conclusion of The Boys itself, with Season 5 set to wind down the main series at some stage next year.

We’re sure to learn plenty more about the future of the IP once the main show wraps up so we’ll keep you posted with all the latest right here.
Who’s in Vought Rising? Cast details revealed
From the show’s announcement in 2024, we knew Vought Rising would focus on Soldier Boy’s origins. Thus, Jensen Ackles has been a lock from the very beginning, as he’ll serve as the main star of the story.
Another familiar face is joining him, however, as Aya Cash is set to reprise her role as Stormfront, also known at this point in time as Clara Vought.

Newcomers include Mason Dye (Teen Wolf, Stranger Things) as Bombsight, Will Hochman (Blue Bloods) as Torpedo, and Elizabeth Posey (Euphoria, Heels) as Private Angel. Full cast details are as follows:
- Jensen Ackles – Soldier Boy
- Aya Cash – Stormfront / Clara Vought
- Mason Dye – Bombsight
- Will Hochman – Torpedo
- Elizabeth Posey – Private Angel
- Jorden Myrie
- Nicolò Pasetti

- Brian J. Smith
What is Vought Rising about? Early plot details
While we don’t quite have an official synopsis just yet, we do have some early details that tease the focus of Vought Rising.
One thing we know for certain is the show takes place in the 1950s following WWII. We’ll be seeing the earliest days of Vought and its creation of Compound V to create the world’s first ‘Supes’. Obviously, we all know the plan doesn’t exactly go swimmingly.
Vought Rising has been described as a “twisted murder mystery” by producer Eric Kripke, so it’s safe to expect a slightly different tone from the main show.
Given it takes place decades before the likes of Homelander is wreaking havoc, don’t expect a ton of cameos and crossovers throughout, but in typical Boys fashion, there’s sure to be some fun surprises along the way.
Is there a trailer yet?
No, there’s no trailer yet as the series has only just gone into production.
While we don’t have any footage to go off yet, we do have our first look at the four main Supes in their costumes thanks to Variety.
That’s everything we know about Vought Rising for now, but we’ll keep you updated right here as further details emerge.
