The Boys team brought plenty of excitement to Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con as the stars and creator of Prime Video‘s mega-hit made way for the expansion of the TV universe with the prequel series Vought Rising starring Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash. The newest series Vought Rising will join other series Gen V, The Boys Presents: Diabolical, and the flagship show. Ackles was on site for the exciting announcement dropping in on panel attendees as Cash joined in via video.

“We are excited to bring you the next deranged series from the world of The Boys. 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. We cannot wait to blow your minds and trouble your souls with this salacious, grisly saga drenched in blood and Compound V,” said executive producer Eric Kripke and series showrunner and executive producer Paul Grellong in a shared statement.

The team reflected on Season 4’s epic finale which saw Homelander (Starr) secure political power with the help of Sister Sage (Heyward), as Supes were deputized by the government and the titular vigilante team were split apart. The event was made even more special by the fact that The Boys debuted 5 years ago to the date of the panel on July 26th, 2019.

As a treat to fans, the panel also unveiled the highly hilarious Season 4 blooper reel and announced Ackles would appear as a series regular in The Boys Season 5. Check out the blooper reel below, and let us know what you think of The Boys‘ upcoming spinoff Vought Rising in the comments section.
