While the main series of \u201cThe Boys\u201d is about to end with its fifth season, that doesn\u2019t mean the end of the franchise.<\/p>\n

The fate of \u201cGen V\u201d remains up in the air; a third season hasn\u2019t been confirmed as yet, but the show hasn\u2019t been cancelled either.<\/p>\n

Waiting in the wings for later this year is \u201cVought Rising,\u201d the prequel spin-off that is dubbed a twisted murder mystery tied to the origins of Vought in the 1950s, along with the early exploits of Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), and the diabolical maneuvers of Stormfront (Aya Cash).<\/p>\n

Speaking with Collider<\/a> while promoting \u201cThe Boys\u201d final run, Ackles says as far as he\u2019s aware, \u201cVought Rising\u201d isn\u2019t a one-off but designed as an ongoing series:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the intent is to do multiple seasons. When they pitched it, they were like, \u2018Hey, we\u2019re thinking about doing this prequel thing, going back to the 1950s with Soldier Boy.\u2019 I don\u2019t think I let them finish the sentence before I was like, \u2018Yes!\u2019 But I know that the intent is to have it be a multi-season show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about how his character will differ from his portrayal on \u201cThe Boys,\u201d Ackles says the new show will offer a better insight as to how he ended up the way he did and what he was like in his element:<\/p>\n

\u201cListen, it\u2019s going to feel familiar, as far as the format of it all, because I think that\u2019s taking what really works with The Boys and trying to do something a little bit different with it, certainly as a period piece in the 1950s. But I\u2019ll speak personally. The Soldier Boy aspect of it is I\u2019m used to playing and we\u2019re used to seeing Soldier Boy in modern times, but he is a, I like to say, analog man in a digital world, so he\u2019s a fish out of water with what we know of him now.<\/p>\n

Now we\u2019re getting to see him be relevant, getting to see him in his actual environment where he feels like this is where he belongs. He\u2019s the top dog. But you also get to see the experience as to why he ended up the way he did. We get to kind of peel back the layers of what truly happened in that time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first two episodes of \u201cThe Boys\u201d premiere on April 8th on Amazon Prime Video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazon While the main series of \u201cThe Boys\u201d is about to end with its fifth season, that doesn\u2019t…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":502743,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[94966,96,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-502742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-bigslider","tag-entertainment","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=502742"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502742\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/502743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=502742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=502742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=502742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
