2027 is the expected release window for Vought Rising, and showrunner Eric Kripke said the first season has already been fully written.
The new series carries The Boys universe forward after the flagship show's May 20 finale, with Kripke saying the story ends satisfyingly but leaves room for multiple future seasons.
Set in the 1950s, the prequel is framed as a murder mystery in Vought's early days and centers on Soldier Boy and Clara Vought, better known as Stormfront.
The show also pulls in franchise setup from Gen V season 2 and The Boys season 5, including Thomas Godolkin and Bombsight, while The Boys itself is not getting a season 6.
