In honor of Supernatural’s 20th anniversary, Jared Padalecki gave fans a special glimpse into the early days of the beloved series. The actor shared two personal treasures from the show’s beginnings, taking followers on a nostalgic journey back to 2005.
Series creator Eric Kripke, along with stars Jensen Ackles, Padalecki, and Misha Collins, have been commemorating the milestone with a variety of celebrations. Fans were previously treated to an anniversary trailer and compilation video, updates on charitable causes supported by the cast, and insights from Kripke about the episodes following the pilot. Even The Boys: Vought Rising received a brief mention during the festivities.
Now, Padalecki has turned to social media to share some keepsakes from the show’s first days. “Here is my script from our Pilot Table Read (yes, it’s dated March 1, 2005. Happy birthday [Jensen Ackles]). And, here are my ‘sides’ from Day 1 of filming [Supernatural]… Wednesday, March 2nd, 2005,” he wrote, accompanied by photos of the script and sides.

Padalecki’s full caption reads:
*”So, get this….
I found some stuff.
I suppose I had been holding onto them, for more than 20 years now (), because I just felt like they’d mean ‘something more’ one day…
Well, today is the day…
Here is my script from our Pilot Table Read (yes, it’s dated March 1, 2005. Happy birthday @jensenackles)
AND, here are my ‘sides’ from Day 1 of filming #supernatural… Wednesday, March 2nd, 2005…
These sat in my pocket for our entire first day of filming, while I nervously tried to do a good-enough job on a show that I was thrilled to be a part of, and with a character I already loved…
Little did I know that I’d gain a family, MORE THAN ONE family, in the years to come.
So grateful for #supernatural
So grateful for the #spnfamily
Happy 20.
(PS. Please excuse the cry-eyes. It’s been a really special day).
❤️”*
Fans have flooded social media with reactions, celebrating both the series’ legacy and the heartfelt reflections from Padalecki, marking two decades of Supernatural’s enduring impact on television and its devoted fanbase.
