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.

With The Boys season 4 arriving this week, Screen Rant interviewed Kripke right after he made the announcement that season 5 will be the show’s final one. When asked about whether or not The Boys 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 or not he already has a character in mind for his former Supernatural co-lead star. 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]
