What is Vought Rising about?

In a statement shared by executive producer Eric Kripke and showrunner Paul Grellong, they revealed, “We are excited to bring you the next deranged series from the world of The Boys. It’s a twisted murder mystery about the origins of Vought in the 1950s, the early exploits of Soldier Boy, and the diabolical maneuvers of a Supe known to fans as Stormfront, who was then going by the name Clara Vought. We cannot wait to blow your minds and trouble your souls with this salacious, grisly saga drenched in blood and Compound V.”

It has since been revealed by writer Paul Grellong, who has penned scripts for The Boys and executive produces the flagship series, that the first installment of Vought Rising is titled “Red Scare.” While Grellong wrote the episode, Sam Miller serves as director on the installment, as seen in the image below:
