The Shocking New Projects and Ultimate Reunion
The biggest news for the Supernatural fandom in 2025 revolves around a series of high-profile new roles and a long-awaited cast reunion that is finally coming to fruition, blending the worlds of monster-hunting and anti-superhero grit.
1. The Supernatural Reunion on The Boys (Jensen, Jared, and Misha)
The long-teased reunion of the main trio is officially happening in the final season of the Prime Video hit, The Boys. Jensen Ackles, who joined the series as the original supe, Soldier Boy, is confirmed to be joined by both Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins for the show's climactic Season 5. This crossover is a massive event, orchestrated by showrunner Eric Kripke, who is also the creator of Supernatural. While the nature of Padalecki and Collins's roles is still under wraps, the mere presence of the "Winchester brothers" and "Castiel" in the same universe is the most exciting piece of news for fans since the original series finale.
2. Jensen Ackles’ Gritty Prime Video Thriller: Countdown
Jensen Ackles is set to headline his own new series on Prime Video, a 13-episode crime thriller titled Countdown, which is slated to debut on June 25. Ackles plays a former police detective who is recruited into a secret task force to investigate a mysterious, violent murder. This high-octane project marks Ackles's return to a leading man role after his successful run as Soldier Boy and his guest arc on *Big Sky*. Furthermore, Ackles is slated to appear in a guest arc in Season 2 of the CBS series *Tracker*.
3. Jared Padalecki’s New CBS Medical Drama
Following the cancellation of his CW series, Walker, Jared Padalecki has quickly secured his next major role. He is set to star in an untitled rural Texas medical drama for CBS, a project that reunites him with *Walker* showrunner Anna Fricke. The series will feature Padalecki as a doctor in a small, underserved community, a significant shift from his previous roles as a demon hunter and a Texas Ranger. The writers' room for the show has already opened, indicating the project is moving forward rapidly.
4. Jared Padalecki’s Guest Arc on Fire Country
Before his new medical drama begins, Padalecki will appear in a guest arc on the popular CBS series, Fire Country, during its upcoming third season. This role is a quick pivot for the actor and keeps him firmly in the network television landscape. The move is a testament to his continued demand following his long tenure as Sam Winchester and Cordell Walker.
5. Misha Collins’ One-Man Show: It Seemed Like A GOOD...
Misha Collins, known for his beloved role as the angel Castiel, has embarked on a new, surprising creative venture: a one-man stage show titled It Seemed Like A GOOD.... The show is described as a personal and humorous look at his life and career, with an upcoming UK debut and various tour dates scheduled throughout 2025 and 2026. This project allows Collins to connect with fans in a unique, intimate setting, separate from the major convention circuit where he is a perennial favorite.
The Supernatural Franchise: Revival Hopes and Recurring Cast Updates
While the main series has ended, the Supernatural universe remains active, with the cast continuing to fuel speculation about a return and the wider ensemble making waves at fan events.
6. The Supernatural Revival Discussion (Season 16)
Despite the end of the series and the short-lived prequel, The Winchesters, the possibility of a true Supernatural revival, often referred to by fans as "Season 16" or a "Limited Series," is still a hot topic. Both Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki have openly discussed the idea in recent interviews, suggesting that a return to the roles of Dean and Sam Winchester is a matter of "when," not "if," provided the right story and timing align. These ongoing discussions ensure that the hope for the Winchester brothers to ride again remains alive for the dedicated fandom.
7. The Convention Circuit: 2025/2026 Tour Dates
The cast’s commitment to the fans is evident in their packed convention schedules for 2025 and 2026. The Creation Entertainment Supernatural conventions (Creation Tour) continue to be a major event, with the core trio and beloved recurring cast members attending events like Creation Norfolk, Jus in Bello 16, and Creation Boston. Other key actors confirmed for major 2025 conventions include Mark Sheppard (Crowley), Alexander Calvert (Jack), Jim Beaver (Bobby Singer), and Ruth Connell (Rowena). These appearances allow the "SPN Family" to connect directly with the actors, keeping the community and the topical authority of the franchise strong.
The Enduring Legacy of the SPN Family
The sheer volume of current, high-profile work from the main cast—Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins—in 2025 is a testament to the talent that powered Supernatural for 15 years. Their individual success in projects like Countdown, the untitled CBS medical drama, and Collins’ one-man show, combined with the momentous reunion on The Boys, ensures that the "SPN Family" has plenty to celebrate. Whether you are following Dean Winchester’s new thriller, Sam Winchester’s medical career, or Castiel’s stage debut, the bond of the cast remains the strongest entity in the fandom, promising that the story of these hunters and their angel is far from over.
