Here’s What Jensen Ackles & Jared Padalecki Have to Say About a Possible ‘Supernatural’ Reboot originally appeared on Parade.
Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins are sharing their thoughts about a possible reboot.
While speaking to TV Insider for an interview published on July 10, Ackles, Padalecki, and Collins were asked to share what format they would like a possible Supernatural reboot to have. As fans are aware, the series ended after its 15th season in 2020.
Collins, who played angel Castiel, quipped that he would like “a puppet show” version of the series. Ackles, who played Dean Winchester, also joked he’d be interested in a reboot involving “marionettes.”
Meanwhile, Padalecki, who played Sam Winchester, jokingly said that an anime would be the way to go. Padalecki then clarified that a limited series piques his interest. He noted that Supernatural premiered in 2005.
“We’re all a lot older than we were 20 years ago. I don’t know if I have 22 episodes of Supernatural in me. I think a limited series would be great,” said Padalecki during the interview.
Ackles then shared that he didn’t think a possible reboot should be “grittier” than the original series. Padalecki agreed with his co-star.
“I like the rules that broadcast television put on us because we still played,” said the Gilmore Girls actor.
Collins then shared he “asked [series creator] Eric Kripke, ‘If you ever did a reboot of Supernatural, what do you think it would be?'”
“And he said he would want it to be as horrifying as possible,” continued Collins.
Ackles then referenced Kripke is the showrunner of The Boys, which has more than a few gory moments.
“He’s doing that. It’s called The Boys!” said Ackles, who plays Soldier Boy on the Prime Video series.
Ackles shared he would like to play Dean again in a June 2025 interview with Collider. He said, however, that he is busy with The Boys, its upcoming spinoff series, Vought Rising, and the new Prime Video series, Countdown.
“It’s not something that’s in the wings waiting right now. Maybe sometime in the future. It would be fun to put those boots back on and get back in that car. But… right now, Amazon’s keeping me pretty busy. It’s a good problem to have,” said Ackles to the publication.
