Jared Padalecki has commented on his upcoming appearance in the hotly anticipated fifth and final season of The Boys. The actor and fellow debutant Misha Collins will reunite with their Supernatural co-star, Jensen Ackles, who portrays the character Soldier Boy in the hit Prime Video superhero satire series.
Padalecki spoke to Business Insider at the 2025 Texas Film Awards, revealing he did not know much yet about The Boys Season 5’s storyline and his character’s arc. “I don’t know a whole lot about it, which is effing terrifying,” he began. “Yeah, I don’t know what we’re doing. I don’t know if we, like, bump into each other. I don’t know much about it. They’re still trying to write and figure out who’s gonna be there. But it’ll be the end of this month.”
Late last month, The Boys announced via social media that Padalecki and Collins will appear in the upcoming season. Business Insider recently confirmed that the pair will share scenes with Ackles. News of the small-screen reunion will surely please fans of The CW’s Supernatural, which stars Ackles and Padalecki as brothers Dean and Sam Winchester, and Collins as the angel Castiel. Fellow Supernatural alum Jeffrey Dean Morgan appeared in The Boys Season 4 but did not share screentime with Ackles, whose character did not appear until a mid-credit scene in the finale.
Before his official casting, Padalecki expressed his willingness to board The Boys Season 5 and reteam with Supernatural showrunner Eric Kripke. “He and I have talked about what it could look like. It’s not written yet. He said it wouldn’t really be until 2025. We wouldn’t shoot until probably January-ish,’ he said. “[I’m game to] go play in the playground [of] the guy who created Sam Winchester. I’ve had good times in his playground, so I’m happy to do it again.”
Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles’ Reunion Will “Break the Internet”
Padalecki and Ackles last appeared together when Supernatural ended its iconic fifteen-season run in 2020. The Boys’ creator Kripke addressed the potential reunion prior to Padalecki’s official involvement in the upcoming season. “The value of that is to break the internet. So we’ll see whether it’s right for the story,” he said. “But yes, it’s occurred to me that putting those two in a scene together would destroy much of the world, and that’s appealing.”
The Boys Season 5 is expected to arrive sometime in 2026.
