There’s been speculation about whether The Boys will turn into a full Supernatural reunion before it ends. With Jensen Ackles and Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Soldier Boy and (the very dead) Joe Kessler already on board, fans were hoping that the show’s final season would bring Jared Padalecki on board. We already knew that Eric Kripke wanted Padalecki in The Boys and that the actor was ready to be in it. Now, The Boys social media accounts revealed that Jared Padalecki AND Misha Collins are cast in season five.
We all remember Collins as Supernatural’s Castiel! Their roles in this series are being kept a secret for now but a press release confirms that they will indeed share scenes with Ackles’ Soldier Boy. They have work to do, indeed.
We don’t have a release date for this season but it is expected to arrive in 2026. This makes sense considering Gen V‘s sophomore season is supposed to be coming this year.
We cannot wait to see how Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins make their guest appearances in The Boys season five alongside the main cast. It is possible that they could even be playing parodied versions of their Supernatural characters. That would be a hoot.
Either way, this is exciting news that we all love to hear.
