The Supernatural men are officially back together on The Boys.
The trailer for the fifth and final season of Amazon’s R-rated superhero satire reveals a first look at the onscreen reunion of Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins — casting which was announced back in February 2025.
The footage shows Homelander (Antony Starr), who’s hellbent on reaching immortal god status, waking up his father, Soldier Boy (Ackles), from cryogenic stasis. “Did you f— me?” Soldier Boy wants to know upon waking up in his underwear and a “Sorry, Snowflake” Homelander top.
Soldier Boy’s team-up with his son for total domination will lead to an encounter with two characters played by Padalecki and Collins. Details on those roles are still elusive, but the Supernatural gents, who portrayed Sam Winchester and Castiel, are seen now in gaudy button-downs within a massive mansion.
The Boys season 5 trailer provides us a first look at Collins’ character getting choked out by Soldier Boy. It’s a reunion that’s been years in the making. Eric Kripke, The Boys showrunner who created Supernatural, has been working to get his boys back together, but schedules proved to be an issue.
Multiple other alumni from the long-running series have already made the jump to The Boys, including Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
The final season, which takes place after the events of Gen V season 2, will realize the final battle for the soul of America. With Homelander exacting an iron, dictatorial will across the country, Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), and Frenchie (Tomer Capone) are imprisoned in a “Freedom Camp.” Meanwhile, Annie (Erin Moriarty) attempts to mount a resistance against the supes, and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) — who’s now talking! — is nowhere to be found.
