'The Boys' Jensen Ackles Excited for Reunion With ‘Supernatural' Co-Star in Season 5
When the 15-season run of the popular series Supernatural came to a close, many fans were disappointed for several reasons. One was that the duo of Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester) and Jared Padalecki (Sam) would be no more. However, Supernatural creator Eric Kripke, who also leads the way in the hit Amazon Prime Video series The Boys, ensured that wouldn't be the case. Padalecki was cast in the upcoming Season 5 of The Boys, and previously revealed to TV Insider that he would be featured in the same storyline, frame and interacting with Ackles, along with another Supernatural co-star, Misha Collins. 'It's a blast," Kripke said. "We already shot it. I will confirm that Jared, Jensen, and Misha are all in the same frame together, and in the same storyline, and interacting with each other.' While speaking with Collider about his new series, Countdown, Ackles addressed the reunion with his former co-star, Padalecki, on The Boys, and the excitement about working together again was obvious. 'There's a reason he and I did that show for 15 years because we truly got along, we truly enjoy working together, and we're effectively brothers in real life, too," Ackles said. "So anytime we get a chance to mix it up and do stuff, it's always a blast. He's the best. You can put us two in front of anything; we'll get the job done.' It's exciting for fans of both Supernatural and The Boys, and it goes without saying, but the rapport between Ackles and Padalecki almost certainly picked up right where it left off in 2020.'The Boys' Jensen Ackles Excited for Reunion With 'Supernatural' Co-Star in Season 5 first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 20, 2025

"Supernatural" stars Jared Padalecki, Misha Collins Reunite with Jensen Ackles on "The Boys" Final Season
Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins have joined the fifth and final season of 'The Boys' as guest stars, reuniting with their fellow 'Supernatural' alum, Jensen Ackles. Details on their roles are being kept under wraps. 'The Boys' creator Eric Kripke has long expressed a desire to cast Padalecki on the satirical superhero drama, said last year, 'I feel like I have to complete my game of 'Supernatural' Pokémon and I have my one big one — very big one — left to catch.' He later told Variety he was talking to Padalecki about a role on the final season, saying, 'I love him and you try to work with people that you love.' In addition to Ackles, who plays Soldier Boy, 'The Boys' has also featured 'Supernatural' actors Jim Beaver (playing Robert Singer), Jeffrey Dean Morgan (playing Joe Kessler), and Rob Benedict (playing Splinter). Padalecki starred alongside Ackles on the CW sci-fi drama for 15 seasons, from its debut on what was then the WB in 2005 through its series finale in 2020. Collins also starred on 'Supernatural' for 12 seasons, playing Castiel and eight other roles. 'The Boys' is currently in production on its fifth and final season. It stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Nathan Mitchell, Chace Crawford, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Giancarlo Esposito. The college-set spinoff 'Gen V' debuted in 2023 and was renewed for a second season. There was also an adult animated spinoff titled 'The Boys Presents: Diabolical' and the upcoming show 'Vought Rising' starring Padalecki.

‘The Boys' is about to get ‘Supernatural': Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins join final season
Turns out a 'Supernatural' reunion is happening after all — just for a completely different series. Amazon Prime Video's hit (anti-) superhero series 'The Boys' revealed Wednesday it will reunite 'Supernatural' alumni Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins with co-star Jensen Ackles for its fifth and final season. The newest season also will reunite the 'Supernatural' trio with showrunner Eric Kripke, who created the hit CW series. Collins and Padalecki will make guest appearances, Prime Video confirmed without divulging details about their characters. The streamer also confirmed that the two actors will share screen time with Ackles. 'Supernatural' aired on the CW from 2005 to 2020 and starred Ackles and Padalecki as demon-fighting brothers Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester, respectively. The series also starred Collins as angel Castiel, who accompanies the Winchesters on their exorcisms. Ackles joined the cast of 'The Boys' for its third season in 2020. He plays Soldier Boy, an unhinged supe who was once a mighty asset in the titular gang's fight against the sadistic supe-remacist Homelander (Antony Starr). Ackles, Padalecki and Collins all teased the 'Supernatural' reunion in an Instagram video for the series' account. 'We got work to do,' Ackles and Padalecki say in separate snippets. In the background of his video, Padalecki shows off the Winchesters' signature Chevy Impala. 'What are we doing?'Collins asks at the end of the video. Kripke also shared the video to his Instagram and mulled: 'WhatGrossThingsAmIGonnaMakeJaredAndMishaDo?' For readers unfamiliar with 'The Boys,' the Prime Video series has earned quite the reputation for its gory dark humor; think exploding genitalia and man-eating, flying sheep. 'The Boys' also has earned praise for its not-so subtle critiques of media and political extremism. 'There a lot of people who probably initially thought a show called 'The Boys' about bad superheroes won't really have anything for me,' Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studio, told The Times in 2024. 'And as they keep hearing about it, they give it a shot and realize how rich and complex it is.' 'The Boys' also stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Karen Fukuhara, Laz Alonso and Tomer Capone. Prime Video has yet to reveal the premiere date for the series' final season.
