The fifth and final season of The Boys has something special planned for fans of the Winchester brothers. Former Supernatural stars Jared Padalecki, Misha Collins, and Jensen Ackles got together for an announcement that has fans of the long-running series thrilled. "Season 5 just got a bit more supernatural," a joint Instagram Reel shared by The Boys and Prime Video revealed. The reunion brings back memories of the 15-season run of Supernatural, where Padalecki and Ackles played brothers Sam and Dean Westchester, who hunted down paranormal beings.

Ackles joined The Boys in season 3 as Soldier Boy and is expected to lead the spinoff Vought Rising alongside Aya Cash. Ackles also served as the narrator for The Winchesters, a short-lived spinoff about Dean and Sam's parents that ran on The CW in 2022 and 2023. When The Boys season 4 premiered, show creator Eric Kripke announced that season 5 would be the final installment of the beloved series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, both Padalecki and Collins will appear in guest roles during season 5. Additional details are not immediately available.

The Boys franchise isn't just another superhero project. "The Boys and their spinoffs, none of them are really superhero shows," Kripke previously told The Hollywood Reporter. "They have the suits and powers, but The Boys is a show about celebrity politics and late-stage capitalism." The shows have seen characters who were good, bad, and everything in between, and have also formed strong bonds within the cast. Since Supernatural wrapped, its stars have remained close. "I love Jensen deeply," Padalecki told The New York Times in 2021. "He's my brother— he has been for many years, and he always will be, no matter what."
