Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins have joined the fifth and final season of “The Boys” as guest stars, reuniting with their fellow “Supernatural” alum, Jensen Ackles.
Details on their roles are being kept under wraps.
“The Boys” creator Eric Kripke has long expressed a desire to cast Padalecki on the satirical superhero drama, said last year, “I feel like I have to complete my game of ‘Supernatural’ Pokémon and I have my one big one — very big one — left to catch.” He later told Variety he was talking to Padalecki about a role on the final season, saying, “I love him and you try to work with people that you love.”
In addition to Ackles, who plays Soldier Boy, “The Boys” has also featured “Supernatural” actors Jim Beaver (playing Robert Singer), Jeffrey Dean Morgan (playing Joe Kessler), and Rob Benedict (playing Splinter).
Padalecki starred alongside Ackles on the CW sci-fi drama for 15 seasons, from its debut on what was then the WB in 2005 through its series finale in 2020. Collins also starred on “Supernatural” for 12 seasons, playing Castiel and eight other roles.
“The Boys” is currently in production on its fifth and final season. It stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Nathan Mitchell, Chace Crawford, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Giancarlo Esposito.
The college-set spinoff “Gen V” debuted in 2023 and was renewed for a second season. There was also an adult animated spinoff titled “The Boys Presents: Diabolical” and the upcoming show “Vought Rising” starring Padalecki.
