Breaking News: Jared Padalecki hints at The Boys Season 5 appearance with Jensen Ackles
From Hunting Demons to Battling Supes?
Hold onto your hats, Supernatural fans, because the internet is buzzing with a tantalizing possibility: could Jared Padalecki, aka our beloved Sam Winchester, be joining the chaotic world of The Boys? And the answer, straight from Padalecki himself, is a resounding “YES!”
In a recent interview with Deadline, Padalecki confessed his eagerness to reunite with Eric Kripke, creator of both Supernatural and The Boys.
“At this point in my acting life, I only want to work on projects I really care about, or with people I really care about,” Padalecki explained.
A Supernatural Takeover: The Boys’ Growing Family Reunion
Padalecki’s potential arrival wouldn’t be the first Supernatural crossover. The Boys has been subtly (and not-so-subtly) weaving in familiar faces from Kripke’s previous hit show.
We first got a taste of the reunion with Jim Beaver’s appearance as the surprisingly wholesome Robert Singer (a nice nod to his Supernatural character Bobby Singer) in Season 1. Then, Season 3 delivered a truly unforgettable Jensen Ackles debut as the explosive (literally) Soldier Boy.
And let’s not forget Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s chilling portrayal of the enigmatic Tek Knight in Season 4.
With Padalecki potentially joining the fray, Season 5 of The Boys is shaping up to be the ultimate Supernatural family reunion.

While details about Padalecki’s potential role remain tightly under wraps, the anticipation is palpable.
“Just imagine Sam Winchester, with all his demon-hunting experience, navigating the twisted world of The Boys,” one Reddit user mused.
Would he team up with the Boys to take down Vought? Or would he be tempted by the dark side?”
The possibilities are endless, and fans are already busy crafting theories, from Padalecki playing a morally conflicted supe to a savvy investigator uncovering Vought’s secrets.
Okay, When Am I Flying Out?”: Padalecki on Standby
One thing’s for sure: Padalecki is ready for Kripke’s call.
“I don’t think [Season 5] films until next year,” Padalecki shared, “but I will be ready when he makes the phone call. I’ll just say ‘Okay, when am I flying out?'”
With filming for Season 5 approaching, the anticipation is building.
Could we see Sam Winchester trade his flannel and shotgun for a superhero suit (or maybe a spot on the Boys’ team)? Only time—and Eric Kripke—will tell.
