00:00there is a brighter future all we need to do is take it the world of the boys is clearly
00:07not
00:07slowing down anytime soon because even though the main series is finally wrapped up after five
00:12seasons prime video is already preparing the next chapter of the franchise that next chapter is vaught
00:18rising and after the conclusion of the boys season 5 fans finally got their first official
00:23look at the upcoming prequel through a brand new trailer the footage immediately makes it clear
00:29that this series is taking viewers far back into the history of the franchise long before the events
00:34of the original show ever happened at the center of the story are jensen ackles soldier boy and iacash's
00:41stormfront although this version of stormfront is still going by clara vaught the trailer spends a
00:48lot of time introducing this earlier era of soups while also showing how the powerful corporation
00:53vaught first started becoming the giant organization fans know from the boys instead of focusing on
00:59modern superheroes and celebrity culture vaught rising appears ready to explore the origins of
01:05everything one of the biggest attractions of the prequel is seeing how soldier boy and clara
01:10first crossed paths their relationship has been teased before especially through recent revelations
01:17in the boys season 5 but this new series looks ready to fully explore how their connection began
01:22at the same time viewers will get a look at an entirely different generation of soups many decades
01:29before homelander and the seven became household names the cast includes several new characters as well
01:35elizabeth posey will play private angel will hawkman will portray torpedo and mason die returns as bombsite
01:43fans recently got a brief introduction to bombsite during the boys season 5 but vaught rising will
01:49expand his role significantly based on everything revealed so far bombsite appears to be one of the
01:55major players in the overall story the series takes place in new york during the 1950s which gives it a
02:02very different setting compared to anything the franchise has done before the project was first announced
02:08during san diego comic-con 2024 and from the beginning both jensen ackles and aya cash were
02:14attached not only as stars but also as executive producers although prime video still hasn't announced
02:20an exact release date the show is currently scheduled to arrive in 2027 alongside ackles and cash the cast
02:28also includes ricky staffieri kiki lane nicolo passetti brian j smith and jordan myrie while the boys season
02:35five laid much of the groundwork for the prequel vaught rising looks determined to explore entirely new
02:41territory within the franchise eric kripke developed the series and serves as executive producer alongside
02:48showrunner paul grelong something that has generated a lot of excitement among fans is the fact that
02:54discussions about a second season are already happening even though the first season hasn't premiered
02:59yet kripke recently revealed that season one tells a complete story with a satisfying conclusion
03:04but at the same time it also leaves the door open for another adventure if prime video decides to
03:11continue the series according to kripke the first season reaches a proper ending while also introducing
03:17opportunities for a much larger world to explore afterward he explained that the team would love to
03:22continue telling stories in that era if they got the chance of course he also acknowledged that the
03:28final decision depends on the people in charge at the studio and streaming service the possibility of
03:34multiple seasons makes sense because the timeline itself offers a huge amount of storytelling potential
03:40there are decades of history between the events of vaught rising and the beginning of the boys
03:44that leaves plenty of room for additional stories involving vaught soldier boy clara and a bunch of
03:51other characters who helped shape the franchise's world for now vaught rising will be carrying the
03:57franchise forward on its own gen v officially ended after two seasons leaving several character stories
04:03unresolved although many fans were disappointed by that outcome vaught rising now becomes the primary
04:09focus for the future of the universe there is still another project called the boys mexico in
04:15development but nobody knows for sure when or if it will actually move forward another detail that
04:21immediately stood out in the trailer involves clara vaught herself even though she only appears briefly
04:27many viewers quickly notice something very different about her unlike the version of stormfront
04:32introduced in the boys season 2 clara is not hiding her german accent at all when stormfront first
04:39appeared in the original series she presented herself as a modern american woman with a completely
04:44different personality and way of speaking her accent sounded natural and american because she was
04:50deliberately hiding her true identity from the public as the story unfolded however audiences
04:55learned that she was actually a nazi who had spent decades disguising both her origins and her beliefs
05:02that revelation completely changed how viewers looked at her character it became obvious that her
05:08american accent was simply another part of the image she had carefully constructed over the years she
05:13wasn't showing the world who she really was instead she was playing a role designed to make her more
05:18appealing and trustworthy because vaught rising takes place in the 1950s clara has no reason to maintain
05:25that disguise yet she's living much closer to her original life and identity so the trailer allows her
05:32authentic german accent to come through naturally from what little footage has been shown it seems likely
05:38that she will continue speaking that way throughout most of the series at the same time the show may also
05:44demonstrate how she eventually became so skilled at reinventing herself it wouldn't be surprising if
05:50viewers see moments where clara experiments with different accents personas and public images that could
05:56help explain how she later managed to hide her true nature for so many years while helping shape vaught's
06:02growing influence the trailer also raises another major question about clara's role in the overall story
06:08story on the surface vaught rising is being presented as a mystery thriller involving a murder
06:13investigation soldier boy and clara appear to be connected to that mystery in some way but there are
06:19already signs that clara's role may be much larger than it initially appears the way the trailer presents her
06:25makes it seem like she could be the real mastermind operating behind the scenes even though details remain
06:31limited there is a strong sense that she is pulling strings while others remain unaware of her true
06:37intentions that idea becomes even more believable when considering everything audiences already know
06:43from the boys even after her death stormfront's influence continued affecting several major characters
06:49and storylines her impact on soldier boy alone was significant enough that her presence could still be felt
06:56despite not physically appearing during season five viewers already know where these characters
07:02eventually end up so vaught rising faces an interesting challenge fans know soldier boy's story ultimately leads
07:09to his imprisonment in a russian laboratory after payback betrays him in 1984 they also know clara eventually
07:16abandons the liberty identity disappears for years and later resurfaces as stormfront since those events are already
07:24established in franchise lore the prequel has to carefully connect the dots without contradicting anything
