The Shocking Crossover: The Supernatural Reunion on The Boys

One of the most anticipated television events of the year is the confirmed reunion of Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, and Misha Collins in the final season of the Prime Video hit series, *The Boys*. This crossover marks the first time the three actors have shared a screen since the *Supernatural* finale, solidifying their status as the most iconic trio in modern genre television.

Jensen Ackles, who plays the ultra-patriotic, morally ambiguous supe Soldier Boy, was the first to join the show, which is helmed by *Supernatural* creator Eric Kripke. Rumors of a full reunion swirled for years, and in a massive win for the "SPN Family," both Padalecki and Collins were confirmed to appear in the final season. While details of their roles are under strict wraps, this moment will undoubtedly be a major talking point for 2025, offering a meta-commentary on their shared history and the darker side of heroism.

Beyond the reunion, Jensen Ackles is also set to star in the 13-episode Prime Video crime thriller series, *Countdown*. Furthermore, Ackles has been heavily rumored for a role in the DC Universe, potentially voicing or portraying a version of Batman in the highly anticipated animated film *Batman: The Brave and The Bold* (2025). These projects demonstrate Ackles’s continued pivot toward major action and comic book properties, moving further from his role as Dean Winchester.

From Hunters to Healers: Padalecki’s New Medical Drama and Collins’ Stage Debut

The other two-thirds of the core trio are also embarking on fresh career paths that showcase their versatility outside of the fantasy genre.

Jared Padalecki’s Pivot to Medicine

After the successful run of *Walker*, where he played the titular Texas Ranger, Jared Padalecki is making a significant genre shift. He is developing a new, untitled CBS medical drama where he will star as a doctor in his home state of Texas. This new project, which sees him reuniting with *Walker* showrunner Anna Fricke, has been given the green light for a writers' room to continue development for the 2025 TV schedule. Padalecki is also keeping his foot in the door at CBS with a recent guest-starring role on the popular drama *Fire Country*.

This move highlights Padalecki’s commitment to network television and his desire to explore new character archetypes, moving from law enforcement to the high-stakes world of emergency medicine. Fans of the *Walker* series are keenly watching this transition, as it represents a new chapter for the actor.

Misha Collins’ One-Man Show and Public Service

Misha Collins, beloved for his portrayal of the angel Castiel, is utilizing his unique comedic and dramatic talents in a surprising way: a one-man stage show. Collins announced he is starring in *It Seemed Like A GOOD...*, a project that allows him to connect with audiences in a deeply personal and immediate way. This theatrical endeavor is a stark contrast to his television work, showcasing his diverse portfolio as an artist.

In addition to his acting roles, Collins remains a prominent figure in philanthropy, known for his work with the organization Random Acts. His presence at numerous conventions, including the Creation Supernatural Minneapolis 2025 event and the Dutch Comic Con Summer Edition 2025, continues to fuel the connection between the cast and their devoted fanbase.

The Supporting Cast: Crowley, Rowena, and Jack’s Latest Ventures

The extended *Supernatural* family—often referred to as the "SPN Family"—are just as busy, cementing their own legacies in new and exciting ways, with many collaborating on projects outside of the original series.

  • Mark Sheppard (Crowley): The former King of Hell is a central figure in a major new animated series: *Public Domain*. This project was created by fellow *Supernatural* alum Matt Cohen (young John Winchester) and features a massive roster of *SPN* actors, including Gil McKinney, making it a true family affair. Sheppard also continues to be a staple at *Supernatural* conventions throughout 2025, with appearances scheduled in Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Austin.
  • Ruth Connell (Rowena MacLeod): The Scottish witch has a vibrant career resurgence. Connell recently filmed the movie *Nandor Fodor and The Talking Mongoose* and is slated to begin shooting the series *Dead Boy*. Her work spans film, television, and voice acting, demonstrating a career that is experiencing a strong post-*Supernatural* boom.
  • Alexander Calvert (Jack Kline): Best known as the Nephilim Jack Kline, Calvert continues to engage with the fanbase at conventions, including a panel appearance in Minneapolis in April 2025. While specific details on his next major lead series are sparse, his involvement in the *Supernatural* prequel, *The Winchesters*, as a guest star, keeps him linked to the franchise while he seeks new opportunities.

The careers of the *Supernatural* actors in 2025 are a testament to their enduring appeal and talent. Whether they are reuniting on a dark superhero show, leading new network dramas, or exploring the world of stage and animation, the "SPN Family" continues to dominate the entertainment landscape.
