So, What's Next After 'The Boys'?

The Boys concluded after a seven-year run with a series finale, but the franchise continues with new projects. Gen V is canceled, while other developments are still planned. Vought Rising is scheduled for 2027 as a prequel set in the 1950s, focusing on Soldier Boy during his prime and featuring Aya Cash reprising Clara Vought as she becomes connected to Stormfront. The prequel will also introduce the first generation of Vought superheroes, created through V1 rather than Compound V. Another planned project, The Boys: Mexico, is an international spin-off with details still largely unknown.

"With the premiere of the series finale, the seven-year journey of The Boys is finished at last. We'll keep it spoiler-free here, so we won't spill what happens to Homelander and The Seven in their final showdown with Billy Butcher's crew. But rest assured that even after all the bloodletting in the climax, this universe isn't flying into the sunset just yet. Sure, Gen V is canceled. But there's still other new projects to look forward to."

"Scheduled to premiere in 2027 is Vought Rising, a prequel series that takes place decades before the flagship series. Set in the 1950s, the show centers around Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) in his prime. Aya Cash, who memorably played Stormfront on The Boys, will co-star and reprise her role as the diabolical Clara Vought in the years leading up to her time as the superhero Liberty."

"While little is known about Vought Rising, a trailer for the show was attached to theatrical screenings of the finale. Besides suggesting the deep relationship between Soldier Boy and the future Stormfront, the teaser highlights the show's new time period that's in contrast to The Boys' contemporary setting. Its midcentury aesthetic is reminiscent of other shows like For All Mankind and Fallout."

"Vought Rising will also spotlight the first generation of Vought superheroes, who were augmented by V1 as opposed to the more refined Compound V. Still shrouded in mystery is a new international spin-off to The Boys, which bears the straightforward title The Boys: Mexico."
