Supernatural Stars Reunite in The Boys Season 5

by

Eric Kripke, creator of “The Boys,” has confirmed the long-awaited dream of “Supernatural” fans since the casting announcement: the final season of the popular Prime Video series will see a genuine on-screen reunion between Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins. In a recent interview with TV Insider, Kripke, who also created the long-running The CW show, disclosed that these three actors will appear together in scenes and storylines. This is an exciting prospect for fans who have followed the Winchester brothers and their angelic ally for fifteen years. Although Ackles has already assumed his role as Soldier Boy, the characters of Padalecki and Collins are being kept under wraps.

Kripke expressed how thrilling the Supernatural reunion was for him. “We’ve already filmed it,” he confirmed. “You can expect to see Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, and Misha Collins all in one scene together, sharing the same narrative, and engaging with each other.” This reunion also extends off-camera, as Kripke and frequent Supernatural director Phil Sgriccia, who’s now directing for The Boys, are involved. Kripke added, “Working with this group again on set was like a high school reunion, where you effortlessly slip back into old habits. It was heartwarming to be reunited with these individuals I admire, many of whom I haven’t worked with in a professional capacity for years and years. The experience was truly special.

Considering Soldier Boy’s volatile personality and the hint of his return in the Season 4 finale’s post-credits scene, the encounter between Supernatural characters could vary from tense and conflictual to surprisingly cooperative, contingent on who Jensen Ackles (Padalecki) and Nathan Fillion (Collins) are portraying within The Boys’ corrupt world. Regardless of how events transpire, it’s delightful to anticipate that the trio will feature prominently in key scenes together.

Everything We Know About The Boys Season 5 (And Beyond)

In June 2024, Eric Kripke, the creator, declared that Season 5 of “The Boys” would wrap up the primary storyline, as per his long-held intention for a five-season narrative for this brutally satirical superhero series. Filming for the last season commenced in November 2024, and Kripke hinted that scripts were still being drafted in early 2025 to possibly incorporate current events, reflecting the show’s signature incisive commentary. Although a specific release date hasn’t been announced yet, it seems probable that the series will debut in 2026, considering the production schedule. Kripke has hinted at an “apocalyptic” final season where many deaths might occur, highlighting that there’s no need to spare characters for another year since this is the finale.

As the primary saga concludes, the world of “The Boys” is still growing through its spin-offs. The college-centric series, titled “Gen V“, is preparing for its second season, tentatively set to air in 2025. Showrunners Michele Fazekas and Kripke have announced that Season 2 will continue right after the events of “The Boys” Season 4 finale, delving into the immediate consequences of Homelander’s power grab and martial law. The season will also tackle the sad demise of actor Chance Perdomo, with his character Andre Anderson’s death becoming part of the plotline.

The global influence of the franchise is set to grow with the addition of “The Boys: Mexico“, announced towards the end of 2023. Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer (Blue Beetle) will pen and oversee the project, while Diego Luna (Andor) and Gael García Bernal (Werewolf by Night) will serve as executive producers, possibly taking on minor roles. Additionally, at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, “Vought Rising” was unveiled. This prequel series, led by Paul Grellong, will explore the dark origins of Vought in the 1950s, described as a gripping “murder mystery.” Notably, Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash will reprise their roles as a younger Soldier Boy and Stormfront (then Clara Vought), respectively.

In 2026, The Boys will make their comeback on Amazon Prime Video, while Gen V’s second season is slated for release a year earlier in 2025.
