Although the first Vought Rising teaser wasn't shown after The Boys season 5's final episode like we expected it to, it was shown in theaters ahead of the finale screening.
Those lucky enough to see The Boys season 5 episode 8 in theaters in the US were treated to the first piece of footage from Vought Rising. According to fans on Twitter, the clip includes another look at V-One Supes Soldier Boy, Torpedo, Private Angel, and Bombsight, as well as the first look at Clara Vought, aka Stormfront's return. The Supe, otherwise known as Liberty, is sporting the same hairdo as in the old photo at Marathon Man's house in The Boys season 5 episode 5.
Many were expecting the first Vought Rising teaser to show on Prime Video after the series finale. However, The Boys season 5 post-credits scene showed no sign of Soldier Boy and co, only behind-the-scenes pictures of the making of the show. However, The Boys season 5 as a whole does set up the spin-off, focusing heavily on Soldier Boy's past and suspected relationship with Stormfront, and introduces Vought Rising character Bombsight.
Plus, the final season of the superhero satire focuses heavily on V-One. For a while, both Homelander and Butcher were desperate to get their hands on the original strain of Compound V, which created the first set of Supes and granted them immortality, which is why Soldier Boy hasn't aged a day. However, although Homelander was able to inject himself with V-One, the dose didn't really help him in the end. You can read more about that in our guide to The Boys season 5 ending explained.
Set in the '50s, Vought Rising will take us right back to where it all began, when Frederick Vought created the first set of Supes alongside his wife, Clara. When showrunner Eric Kripke first announced the show, he described it as a "twisted murder mystery about the origins of Vought," covering 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." The spin-off stars Jensen Ackles, Aya Cash, Mason Dye, Will Hochman, and Elizabeth Posey.
Vought Rising hits Prime Video sometime in 2027. For more, check out our picks of the best Prime Video shows, and keep up with new TV shows heading your way.
