The Boys: Vought Rising spin-off will be “LA Confidential with superheroes”
The series will be set in the 1950s and will tell the past of Soldier Boy and Stormfront.
In an interview with VarietyEric Kripke, creator of the series The Boysspoke in more detail about the spin-off Vought Risingannounced last week and which will see the return of Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) and Stormfront (Aya Cash). Kripke says he has “ I had this idea in my head for a very long time (…) In fact, when I went to Amazon to present spin-offs, I came with two concepts: Gen V And Vought Rising. At the time, they said to me: ”Let’s start with Gen Vwe’ll see how it goes and maybe we’ll do it Rising. It turns out that everything went well. »
He continues: “The Boys is a film noir in itself. It’s a cops and robbers movie. So, doing it in the classic way with fedoras and trench coats and dirty stuff – like LA Confidential with superheroes – it’s going to be super fun. And Jensen and Aya are superstars. They’re going to blow our minds “.
Vought Rising will be the fourth spin-off of The Boysafter the animated series The Boys Presents: Diabolical, Gen V (which will be entitled to a season 2 in 2025) and The Boys: Mexico (currently in development, with Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal).
