The Boys is Prime Video’s golden goose. Although season 4 just ended and season 5 will be the last, the platform is actively preparing a sequel. At last weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con, the American giant announced the launch of a new spin-off, the name of which we already know: Vought Rising.
Unlike Gen V, another spin-off focused on superhero students, this one will take place before the events of The Boys and follow two characters we love: Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) and Stormfront (Aya Cash). Aka Patron (Patron)’s father and his former lover, now deceased.
Back to the 50s!
If The Boys showed Vought’s full power, he never returned to his roots. This spin-off will take place in the 1950s and tells the story of the beginnings of the company that gave birth to superheroes in our society, thanks to Compound V. At the time, Soldier Boy was one of its rising stars, and Stormfront. The first to receive this substance, because she is married to its creator, Frederick Voth.
If the latter died in the previous season – much to the dismay of Homelander, who saw in her a heroine in his own image (and a kind of mother figure), the character of the soldier boy appeared prominently in the final post-credits. The episode…
Note that Prime Video is also developing another spin-off, currently titled The Boys: Mexico, which will take place, as the name suggests, in South America. It will be donned by Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal and may air in 2025 to make people wait until the 5th season of the parent series.
If the platform’s idea is to multiply production projects and place them in certain countries, the world of The Boys should continue to expand and become a profitable franchise.
