Eric Kripke, the creator of Supernatural, launched the show in 2005 and led it for the first five seasons before moving on to The Boys. The two series remain connected, with several Supernatural actors – like Jim Beaver, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Rob Benedict – appearing in The Boys. But getting Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles to join the cast is especially exciting. Kripke has been planning this for a while, ever since Ackles debuted as Soldier Boy in Season 3, playfully referring to it as his version of collecting Pokémon. Season 5 of The Boys will finally bring his vision to life, uniting actors from both shows.
