'The Boys' Jensen Ackles Issues Warning About 'Vought Rising' Spin-off Series

Since its inception in mid-2019, Amazon Prime’s The Boys has captivated fans with unparalleled plot twists and surprising series finales. However, with season five on the horizon, the topic of “what’s next” for fans of the series was thankfully answered already.

After it was announced that the upcoming season would be the final one for The Boys, news of the spin-off, a prequel called Vought Rising, generated plenty of buzz.

Although the new show isn't expected to debut until late 2026 or early 2027, Vought Rising will feature two noteworthy names as headliners. Soldier Boy and Clara Vought (Stormfront), played by Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash are centerpieces of the new series, which is based in the 1950s.

Ackles recently joined the Supernatural Then and Now podcast to discuss The Boys and Vought Rising, giving a warning of sorts about the future show.

"As far as Vought goes, I think people have an idea of what to expect. But in true Kripke world, he loves to give you what you want in a way you don't expect it," Ackles said.

In the above comments, Ackles cited Eric Kripke, the creator of The Boys and executive producer of Vought Rising.

Considering the endless number of curveballs from the popular current show, paired with Ackles teasing the unexpected in Vought Rising, fans should gear up for what should be a great follow-up to The Boys.
