As The Boys season 5 will officially mark the conclusion to the Prime Video series, showrunner Eric Kripke shares a new update on a potential visit by Supernatural’s Jared Padalecki. After a long hiatus, The Boys season 4 is on its way, continuing the battle against Homelander and Vought. However, before the new season has even premiered, Prime Video gave The Boys season 5 an early renewal.
With The Boys season 4 arriving this week, Screen Rant interviewed Kripke right after he announced that season 5 will be the show’s final one. When asked about whether season 5 will finally mark the time for Padalecki to show up, Kripke shared the following update:
I have been texting with Jared , I would love Jared to come in and do a guest spot on the show. Not just because it’s fun to bring Supernatural characters onto the show, but just because I love working with people I love and if I have an opportunity to bring family back and work with family, I’ll take it and I have a lot of actors from that show who have really become family.
Screen Rant also asked Kripke whether he already has The Boys character in mind for his former Supernatural actor. While Kripke doesn’t have a specific character set for Padalecki, The Boys showrunner added that they are still very early in season 5, saying the following:
We’re very, very early in season five, so I don’t have a character in mind quite yet . But I’m aiming towards it and I’m just keeping in rough touch with him so that hopefully our schedules do line up
[Laughs] Yeah, I like that! [When suggested to have Jared’s character somehow be related to Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy so they could be together on screen again]

Whoever he plays, seeing Padalecki appear on The Boys would definitely be another massive payoff for the Supernatural audience, given Kripke’s involvement.
Given the amount of DC/Marvel parodies that exist in The Boys universe, there are plenty of options for Padalecki if he shows up in season 5. Obviously, most Supernatural fans would likely love to see Padalecki play someone who could naturally be paired up with Ackles’ Soldier Boy, bringing the former CW stars together on the same side. However, it would be more refreshing if they got to play in a very different dynamic.
If The Boys season 5 really wanted to bring the Supernatural star, they could have Padalecki play one of the other Soldier Boys from the comic books. While Ackles’ character is still around in The Boys universe, having Padalecki play the modern version of Soldier Boy would be a fun twist. This way, they would share the Soldier Boy title and also get to play rivals after having played on-screen brothers for almost two decades.There is also the possibility that Padalecki plays an original character not from The Boys comics, as the writing team isn’t beholden to have to cast him in an established role. Whoever he plays, seeing Padalecki appear on The Boys would definitely be another massive payoff for the Supernatural audience, given Kripke’s involvement. Hopefully, as The Boys season 5 starts shooting, presumably later this year, Padalecki’s potential guest spot will ideally get finalized.
The Boys season 4 premieres the first three episodes on June 13 on Prime Video.
