‘The Boys’ series executive producer Paul Grellong will be both executive producer and showrunner for ‘Vought Rising’.
Ackles also said he will return as his character Soldier Boy for Season 5 of ‘The Boys’.
The superhero show ‘The Boys’ follows a team of misfit vigilantes who fight corrupt super-powered people called ‘Supes’.
The show’s panel had a lively start with a comedic live musical performance of songs from the show, actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan throwing up his middle finger on stage, and a teaser trailer for Season 2 of the spin-off ‘Gen V’ at the annual pop culture convention.
Jessie T. Usher, who plays the speedster named A-Train, joined performers briefly on stage to perform a rap.
Clips were projected on a screen while performers sang, including the Season 4 song ‘Let’s Put the Christ Back in Christmas’ from ‘The Boys’ parody of ‘Disney on Ice’.
“In case you didn’t know these guys, [they are] world-class Broadway performers,” said Morgan, who moderated the panel and stars as CIA analyst Joe Kessler in Season 4.
He playfully honored the musical composer with a middle-finger gesture, echoing the show’s crude humor.
The Season 4 main cast took the stage, including Antony Starr, who plays Homelander, the petty leader of the ‘Supes’, Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Chace Crawford, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capone, Usher, and Karen Fukuhara.
The show’s creator Eric Kripke was also on the panel.

Season 5, which premieres in 2026, will be the series’ last season as part of show director Kripke’s vision for the comic-book adaptation.
The popular series also spawned the animated series ‘The Boys Presents: Diabolical’.
Stars have returned to the San Diego Comic-Con after the 2023 writers and actors strikes led to a subdued event last year, with no A-list celebrities or Hall H panels, which are known for delivering some of the biggest industry news.
