Prime Video places a Supernatural spin on The Boys season 5 solid as Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins signal on to the favored present in thriller roles

• The Boys has added two extra Supernatural stars to its solid for its fifth and ultimate season
• Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins have formally signed on for undisclosed roles
• The Boys season 5 is at present halfway by means of its filming schedule

The Boys season 5 might be a full-blown Supernatural reunion after Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins confirmed they’ve joined the previous’s solid.

In a video posted on The Boys‘ numerous social channels yesterday (February 26), Jensen Ackles, who performs Soldier Boy within the standard Prime Video sequence and its wider live-action franchise, is seen asking his Supernatural co-stars to affix him for The Boys‘ ultimate chapter, which was confirmed by Amazon in May 2024. Unsurprisingly, Padalecki and Collins reply the decision, which confirms they’ve formally signed on to characteristic in Amazon’s TV adaptation.

Padalecki’s involvement in The Boys‘ fifth season is not a fantastic shock. Eric Kripke, The Boys‘ showrunner/government producer, beforehand revealed that he’d requested Padalecki to affix the hit satirical superhero present’s ensemble. Last June, Padalecki introduced (per Deadline) that he’d accepted Kripke’s invitation.

Collins’ involvement wasn’t a foregone conclusion. In truth, there’s been little to recommend he’d be part of his fellow Supernatural appearing alumni in showing in the most effective Prime Video reveals’ final chapter. Clearly, although, he’ll just do that.

The additions of Padalecki and Collins to The Boys 5‘s solid realizes Kripke’s dream of re-teaming with the duo and Ackles for a post-Supernatural undertaking. Indeed, Kripke served as showrunner in the course of the latter’s profitable 15-season run. So, as I mentioned, The Boys‘ ultimate hurrah might be a completely fledged reunion between Supernatural‘s creator and important solid.

Who are Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins taking part in in The Boys season 5?

Nobody is aware of. The Hollywood Reporter (THR) has claimed they’re going to characteristic in visitor roles, however there isn’t any indication as to how large or small these roles might be.

One factor is for sure, although: the trio will share scenes collectively. After reaching out to Amazon MGM Studios, THR reporter Rick Porter mentioned that Ackles, Padalecki, and Collins will seem on the display collectively in some unspecified time in the future in season 5.

That doesn’t suggest Padalecki and Collins will be part of Ackles in suiting up as Supes, though it is actually a risk. The Boys season 4 included brand-new Supes, resembling Firecracker and Sister Sage, who do not seem in Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s graphic novels of the identical title. Padalecki and Collins would possibly play wholly unique, Compound V-powered people slightly than characters – superpowered or in any other case – who’ve featured within the comics.

Until we discover out extra about who they’re going to painting, The Boys‘ fanbase is nonetheless having enjoyable making an attempt to find out which people they may play. A thread on The Boys‘ Reddit web page is filled with solutions, with some commenting that Padalecki may play an older model of Ryan Butcher if there is a vital time soar between seasons 4 and 5, whereas others imagine his and Collins’ characters might be allies of the titular Supe-hating group.

It’ll be some time earlier than we be taught extra in regards to the identities of their characters. Principal pictures solely began on season 5 in November 2024 and is not anticipated to wrap till mid-2025. I doubt we’ll be given any concepts about Padalecki and Collins’ roles, then, till late 2025 and even early 2026.
