The Boys Season 5 Features Supernatural Reunion With Ackles, Padalecki, Collins

Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins are reuniting for the fifth and final season of The Boys, reuniting under the direction of Eric Kripke, who created both Supernatural and The Boys. Ackles shared in interviews that while the reunion excites fans, there was some concern about their behavior on set given their 15 years of working closely and joking together on Supernatural, joking about reminding each other to act professionally in a different environment. The reunion promises a unique blend of The Boys' dark, irreverent tone with the actors' history of self-aware comedy from Supernatural, which still maintains a passionate fanbase years after its conclusion. Kripke, as showrunner, envisioned the reunion as a way to delight fans and add a special dynamic to the new season without needing a ratings boost. Though details about the storyline remain under wraps, the chemistry among the three actors and their longstanding camaraderie are expected to make the crossover episode a standout moment. Fans eagerly await the 2026 release of The Boys season 5 to see how this blend of genres and actors will play out.
