While The Boys season 5 might be the end of the mainline show, the universe is set to live on with multiple spin-offs, including Vought Rising.
That show will be a prequel starring Jensen Ackles's Soldier Boy and Aya Cash's Stormfront, and it sounds like it won't hold back.
"If Gen V was our take on a coming-of-age college show, then Vought Rising is our tone mixed with a '50s detective show," The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke told SFX magazine. "It's a lurid, pulpy detective story, but done in our tone. So really graphic, really profane, lots of sex and violence. It's not a sanitized '50s; it's a filthy '50s. Hopefully, we'll put our tone on an international show, if we get The Boys: Mexico up and going. I'm happy to explore the universe as long as each show clears a particular bar of quality and has that really irreverent tone, which, after Deadpool, there aren't many things that are doing that. We're happy to carry that torch."
The rest of the Vought Rising cast includes Mason Dye as Bombsight, Elizabeth Posey as Private Angel, and Will Hochman as Torpedo, while Ethan Slater will reportedly return as Thomas Godolkin.
The Boys season 5 arrives on April 8, meaning we don't have long to wait at all until the end of the hit superhero show.
"I think it's going to be mixed. You think with The Boys it would just be like, 'Holy fuck,' but I think it's going to be emotional," Starlight actor Erin Moriarty said recently of reactions to the finale.
