The Boys series ended after five seasons, but the larger universe continues. The franchise name has been clarified and officially changed from the BCU to the VCU, standing for Vought Cinematic Universe. A major upcoming spinoff, Vought Rising, is set decades before the events of The Boys and follows the first generation of heroes who took V1, a Compound V version that stops aging. The cast includes Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy and Aya Cash as Liberty, with Stormfront previously appearing in The Boys. Vought Rising is scheduled for Prime Video in 2027. Additional spinoffs are planned before The Boys Season 5.
"“Speaking to Kripke this time, he briefly talked about the expanding BCU... or, at least, I thought it was BCU,” Shepherd said in his Substack, Bonus Content. “But I was wrong. Amazon clarified in a follow-up email after our print deadline that Kripke actually meant to say VCU, or Vought Cinematic Universe. In other words, the whole Boys enterprise has been renamed.”"
"“The Boys Universe is now officially the ‘VCU.’”"
"“First, there's the spinoff that's raring to go: Vought Rising, the prequel set decades before the events of The Boys following the first generation of heroes who took V1, the version of Compound V that stops aging. In fact, many fans were critical of how much time in The Boys' final season was spent setting up Vought Rising, especially with the introduction of Bombsight (Mason Dye), who we will meet properly in the spinoff.”"
"“The show will also feature Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy and Aya Cash as Liberty, who previously appeared in The Boys as Stormfront. It's currently set to release on Prime Video in 2027, so it won't be long before we can return to the VCU.”"
