The Boys<\/em> may be one season away from ending but it\u2019s not done caking your screens with blood and torn muscle tissue. Cast member Jensen Ackles who plays Soldier Boy on The Boys<\/em> revealed at the San Diego Comic-Con that Amazon will produce a prequel of the superhero show called Vought Rising<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The new prequel will take place in the 1950s during the early days of the evil Vought empire, the mega conglomerate that runs the entire superhero industry in The Boys\u2019<\/em> universe. The new series will show the early exploits of characters like Soldier Boy and the almost-immortal Nazi supe Stormfront played by Aya Cash. The story will revolve around some kind of \u201ctwisted murder mystery about the origins of Vought,\u201d according to executive producer Eric Kripke and showrunner and executive producer Paul Grellong.<\/p>\n Vought Rising<\/em> sounds like a reimagining of Watchmen <\/em>without the brooding and self-importance. That\u2019s not to say Watchmen <\/em>is bad. Those things and its brutal honesty about the nature of its characters are what makes it great but would it kill Rorschach to make just one curse-laden pop culture reference?<\/p>\n The Boys <\/em>has become Amazon\u2019s Game of Thrones<\/em>. Even when the main series ends, it won\u2019t be the last we hear from it. The same Comic-Con panel also revealed its college themed spinoff Gen V<\/em><\/a> is getting another season, according to GamesRadar+<\/em><\/a>. There\u2019s also another spinoff in development called The Boys: Mexico <\/em>with Diego Luna, Gael Garc\u00eda Bernal and Blue Beetle<\/em> writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, according to Deadline<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n There\u2019s also The Boys Presents: Diabolical<\/em>, the animated anthology series in which some of the original series\u2019 writers and producers like Garth Ennis and Seth Rogen and special guest stars like Awkwafina and Andy Samberg penned original stories about supes and presented them in different animation styles. Not to sound ungrateful but when are we gonna get another season of that?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
