Texts have been sent. I feel like it would be a bummer to not have Jared on the show one way or another at this point, even if it’s just the one-episode thing. He’s been shooting Walker, but with that show wrapping up, maybe he’ll have some time to come in and play with us. I would love it. We have definitely talked about it.
Why Now Is the Right Time For Padalecki To Appear On The Boys
Padalecki Has Strong Ties To Kripke
This is not the first time that Padalecki appearing onThe Boyshas been suggested. Back in 2022, Jensen Ackles along with Kripke floated the idea of Padalecki making a cameo on the show. This suggestion came about because Padalecki’s formerSupernaturalco-star, Jensen Ackles, starred inThe Boysseason 3.Kripke is also the creator ofSupernatural, so the trio have a long history together. Ever since the suggestion of the actor’s appearance on the show, there have been theories circulating as to who Padalecki might be able to play inThe Boysseason 4, though no official appearance has been announced.
Kripke’s recent commentary also comes after two vital announcements. On Padalecki’s side, it was recently revealed that his hit showWalkerwill end after season 4. With Padalecki wrapping up filming,the actor will have more availabilitywith no moreWalkerepisodes coming down the pike. OnThe Boysend of things, the series was recently renewed for season 5, prior to the debut ofThe Boysseason 4.
Every Supes Confirmed For The Boys Season 4 So Far
The Boys season 4 is shaping up to be the most action-packed yet, with a wide variety of new and old supes to fill out the story and change the world.
WithThe Boysseason 4 coming in just three weeks, it seems unlikely that Padalecki’s cameo will come in this upcoming season. Because the show has already secured a renewal, however, a cameo for Padalecki at some point, especially inThe Boysseason 5 seems possible. Kripke floated a single-episode appearance for Padalecki, though this was before the announcement ofWalker’s cancellation. With the actor free fromWalkerobligations, perhaps he could even become a recurring character inThe Boysseason 5 if the show is given time to properly incorporate him.
