It’s a great day to be a Supernatural fan, as we’re about to see the Winchesters reunite on the small screen once again. That’s right, The Boys. Can you say yummm? (Literally, someone me some baja chipotle and an olive.)
I mean sure, it’s not a Supernatural reboot, but this is definitely the next best thing, and it’s safe to say fans of the show are stoked at the thought of seeing the fictional brothers and their guardian angel back on our screens in any capacity. The announcement came via The Boys his former co-star, Jared Padalecki, telling him, “We’ve got work to do.” Padalecki then es the message on to Misha Collins who asks, “What are we doing?”
I feel like that clip awakened a part of me that hasn’t felt that way since 2013. The hype is real. photographed with the cast of The Boys around the same time, which certainly got people talking. But seeing Padalecki enter the fold for real is just something else.
Fans are buzzing to see the Winchester’s back in action
It’s hard to put into words just how dedicated fans are to this show. Supernatural ran for 15 seasons and left a mark on all those who watched it. On Reddit, fans of both Supernatural and The Boys shared their excitement at this unexpected reunion. One individual wrote, “I am watching supernatural and I can’t believe this is true.” Believe it brother, it’s happening.
Another individual itted to never having seen the show, yet they were excited nonetheless.
“I know its stupid I have never seen a single scene from supernatural, I have no idea what the show is about or who Jared or Misha are.
But that teaser gets me excited off vibe alone”
The Boys and Supernatural have one very important link
Of course, this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering The Boys showrunner, Eric Kripke, created Supernatural, was executive producer and head of the show’s writer’s room, and even though he departed the series after season 5, remained onboard in various capacities throughout the show’s 15-year run. Since The Boys premiered in 2019, Kripke has been slowly bringing over everyone from his former project, piece by piece. Clearly, he just wants to go back to making more Supernatural, and I, for one, that decision.
This will bring the grand total of cast from Supernatural who now appear in The Boys to five, with Jim Beaver being the first to follow Kripke to his new show, where he plays a character named Robert Singer, (a definite reference to his Supernatural character, Bobby Singer). Season 4 also saw Jeffrey Dean Morgan the cast; Morgan played Sam and Dean’s father, John Winchester.
Now all we need is Mark Sheppard to come back and we’ll basically have ourselves another season of Supernatural. Something tells me Crowley and Butcher would get on like a house on fire.
