Prime Video has released the first trailer for “Vought Rising,” a prequel series set in 1950s New York City and billed as part of “The Boys” universe. Multiple outlets report the show centers on Vought’s origins and early experiments, depicting the company’s role in creating its first superhero team. The trailer also introduces a storyline tied to Soldier Boy, played by Jensen Ackles, outlining a darker, earlier chapter of his background.
The coverage places the series in the context of “The Boys,” which recently concludes its fifth season, while “Vought Rising” continues expanding the larger “Vought Cinematic Universe.” Deadline notes the prequel was announced during San Diego Comic-Con 2024, and that Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash star in leading roles. Other outlets focus on the show’s period-piece tone and its presentation of Vought’s early “evil” actions, contrasting it with the lead-in season. Additional details such as the full release date, broader cast, and specific plot elements are described variably as “so far” or “everything we know,” indicating more information is expected beyond the initial trailer.
