New Trailer For Jensen Ackles’ The Boys Spinoff Proves The Franchise is Still Alive

After five seasons of exploding bodies, sharp satire, and increasingly wild plot twists, many fans assumed The Boys would be running out of steam. The response to Season 5 certainly hinted at that possibility, as the installment had viewers divided over the show’s pacing, consistency, and plot. However, Prime Video’s Vought Rising trailer has immediately changed that conversation. Rather than feeling like a cheap attempt to keep the IP alive, the Jensen Ackles-led series looks like a fresh evolution of the franchise. By shifting the story back to the 1950s and examining the rise of Vought International, the new trailer proves there are plenty of stories left to tell within the twisted superhero universe.
