A prequel of the Prime Video series The Boys, called Vought Rising, was announced at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday (Jul 26) and will star Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash.
The Boys series executive producer Paul Grellong will be both executive producer and showrunner for Vought Rising.
Ackles also said he will return as his character Soldier Boy for Season 5 of The Boys.
Superhero show The Boys follows a team of misfit vigilantes who fight corrupt super-powered people called Supes.
The show’s panel had a lively start with a comedic live musical performance of songs from the show, actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan throwing up his middle finger on stage, and a teaser trailer for Season 2 of the spin-off Gen V at the annual pop culture convention.
Jessie T Usher, who plays the speedster named A-Train, joined performers briefly on stage to perform a rap.
Clips were projected on screen while performers sang, including the Season 4 song Let’s Put the Christ Back in Christmas from The Boys’ parody of Disney on Ice.
“In case you didn’t know these guys, (they are) world-class Broadway performers,” said Morgan, who moderated the panel and stars as CIA analyst Joe Kessler in Season 4.
He playfully honoured the musical composer with a middle-finger gesture, echoing the show’s crude humour.
