Jared Padalecki will finally join his Supernatural co-stars Jensen Ackles and Jeffrey Dean Morgan in the fifth and final season of "The Boys".
"The Boys" and "Supernatural" creator Eric Kripke has managed to have the likes of Jensen Ackles, Rob Benedict, and Jim Beaver holding down roles on "The Boys", and has been desiring for some time to have Padalecki on the show.
Kripke got his wish after Padalecki hs boarded the show after The CW's rebooted Texas-based TV series The Walker canceled, a show he immediately jumped into after Supernatural tapped out five years ago.
The rumor mill has been working overtime with teases and nods to a Padalecki appearance on The Boys, but now it’s official as the actor told Variety that he and Kripke were in cahoots for his Supe-sized takeover.
“Well, I’ll say this: Kripke and I texted today. It’s not been written yet, but I think he was saying [the final season] doesn’t even film until 2025. So yeah, I’m going to go play in Kripke’s newest playground. I had a great time the first time around, so I’m sure I’ll have a great time here again. I love the show. I think it’s hilarious and exciting," he said.
"But you were asking what my plans for the future were — and I love Jensen and Eric Kripke. Obviously, I’ll be indebted to [Kripke] and entangled with him forever. I met my wife because of him. I was Sam Winchester because of him," Padalecki added."Supernatural happened because of him. So working with him on a show that I enjoy, I’m like, ‘Yeah, when do I fly out?’ But I don’t think we would film until at least January.”
"The Boys" isn’t the only show Padalecki could see himself working on in his newly found abundance of free time, as the actor recently made comments pointing toward a Supernatural reunion.
He said that he’s totally game to do something in the same miniseries format that was done by "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life", boring it is something that both he and Ackles have discussed in their recent conversations.
