The Boys to become even more of a Supernatural reunion with Jeffrey Dean Morgan joining the cast
Prime Video hasn't said who he's playing, but more people from Supernatural is good
Aux News Supernatural
Prime Video’s hit series The Boys added Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles to the cast in its most recent season, making the dark superhero satire into a bit of a Supernatural reunion—since Supernatural creator Eric Kripke is also the showrunner of The Boys—but fans were quick to point out that a Supernatural reunion isn’t a Supernatural reunion without also getting Jared Padalecki. Fans are still going to have to wait to see if that will ever happen, but how about Jeffrey Dean Morgan as a consolation prize?
Morgan played John Winchester, the father of Ackles and Padalecki’s Dean and Sam on Supernatural, and as Entertainment Weekly points out, he’s also a noted fan of The Boys who has been angling for some kind of role for a while. Ackles even said that Morgan would try to get spoilers out of him while they were filming the third season. The catch in all of this is that we don’t know anything about Morgan’s Boys role beyond the fact that it will be as a “recurring guest star.”
That means we do not know who he will be playing or if he’ll get any scenes opposite Jensen Ackles’ character, but surely Kripke would let him do something cool if he’s finally going to bring him on. The show has become a huge hit for Amazon, with its audience growing each season and it inspiring both an animated tie-in and an upcoming super-college spin-off. It was renewed for a fourth season earlier this summer, and given this success, it’ll probably be continuing for a lot longer than that—unless Amazon decides to transition Prime Video into one of those streaming services that exists just to constantly shoot itself in the foot.

“…unless Amazon decides to transition Prime Video into one of those streaming services that exists just to constantly shoot itself in the foot.”The Tick, anyone?
Isn’t Jim Beaver in there, too? Running for office as “Bobby Singer”?
“Dakota Bob” Singer. lol.
Do we actually expect to see Soldier Boy again next season? My assumption is that they’ll take him out of his can in the final season, when they finally decide to kill Homelander.
Im super curious too, since they made Black Noir a brain damaged regular dude.

Jensen Ackles said on Twitter that he was heading back to start filming the next season the other day, so I’m pretty sure that he’s going to be up in the mix again sooner rather than later.
*Ahem* What about Mark Sheppard?

Now now. He’s playing Batman’s nephew’s lawyer or something in a new CW series, so he’s got a job for at least one season.
You know I didn’t even notice Soldier Boy was the same guy as from Supernatural.I’d even recently attempted to get “in” to Supernatural. I was not successful at doing so.
I recently helped a friend get into it who had the same problem with that first season. He found this guide really helpful. You can skip a whole lot of it, especially if you only intend to watch the original five-year story. It really is fantastic. It just takes a minute to find it’s voice.https://medium.com/@RiverLee33/supernatural-episode-viewing-guide-2899fe1093d3
Once, I rose above the noise and confusion just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion.
