The Boys is dead. Long live Vought Rising

Key points

• Well, that was fast.
• The Boys series finale only wrapped two days ago, but Prime Video clearly wants to build on that momentum by releasing the first teaser for the prequel series, Vought Rising.
• With spinoff series Gen V canceled after two seasons, Vought Rising and a planned The Boys: Mexico must carry the franchise banner.
• (Spoilers for The Boys series finale below.) The Boys‘ fifth season set up the final confrontation between Antony Starr’s Homelander and Karl Urban’s Butcher—the former seeking the original V compound that would make him immortal, the latter seeking to commit genocide with a Supe-specific virus.
• Homelander succeeded in his quest, but he wasn’t quite an invulnerable god.
