Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash return as Soldier Boy and Stormfront, respectively, and also serve as series producers. The characters share a common origin: both are experiments by Frederick Vought, with Soldier Boy being the first American superbeing without the aging effect, created during World War II. Stormfront was Vought's first successful test of Compound V and later married him.

The series is being developed under the direction of Paul Grellong (executive producer of The Boys), who also serves as showrunner. The series is created by Eric Kripke, with whom Grellong also collaborated on the original series.

Jorden Myrie has previously appeared in BBC's Sherwood (2022) and Netflix hit Bridgerton, among others. Nicolo Pasetti had roles in other Netflix hits, The Queen's Gambit, and HBO's Industry. Ricky Staffieri has a recurring role as Theodore Fak on Hulu's The Bear and has previously guest-starred on shows like Better Call Saul (AMC) and This Is Us (NBC). Brian J. Smith is known for his role as Will Gorski on Sense8 (Netflix) and as Lieutenant Matthew Scott on SGU Stargate Universe (SyFy).
