The Boys final season is officially one big Supernatural reunion.

After showrunner Eric Kripke signaled that a role for Jared Padalecki seemed possible for season 5, Amazon officially announced Padalecki would be joined by fellow alum Misha Collins. They are even confirmed to share scenes with Jensen Ackles, who will return as Soldier Boy.

“Hey, Jared. We got work to do…again,” Ackles says in a video message to his Supernatural counterpart.

“Okay. I’ll tell Misha,” Padalecki responds before Collins pops in a separate screen.

Details on Padalecki and Collins’ roles are being kept under wraps, but they will be in a guest-appearance capacity. Kripke, who created Supernatural and worked with this trio of gents as that series’ original showrunner, long talked about getting Padalecki on The Boys. He admitted to Entertainment Weekly in one such previous interview that he fully recognized getting him together on screen with Ackles again would “break the internet.” And when the CW canceled Walker, it seemed like a reunion was in the bag. We just didn’t see the Collins curveball.

It’s unclear if they will also share scenes with another big Supernatural veteran, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who joined the ranks of The Boys in season 4 as Joe Kessler. Though, the character proved to be a bit more complicated than just a figure from Butcher’s past.

The Boys season 5 will now also include Hamilton and The Little Mermaid star Daveed Diggs in an undisclosed role, as well as actor Mason Dye in the guest role of supe Bombsight. Kripke told EW the fourth season, which ended in a January 6-level coup that saw Homelander (Antony Starr) and the supes take over the U.S. government, triggers “the endgame.”

“Instead of having a villain talk about a thing they’re going to do, which then our heroes stop from coming to pass, it’s just so fun that he really did it,” he said. “He took over the country. It’s his country now. What does that look like in season 5, and how do our characters fight against it? Which has led to a lot of fun in the writer’s room. I’m really excited with what we’re coming up with.”

Also returning are series stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Karen Fukuhara, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capone, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford, Cameron Crovetti, and Colby Minifie. Season 4 newcomers Susan Heyward and Valorie Curry will also return.

A season 4 post-credits scene in the finale revealed Ackles’ Soldier Boy return for season 5, but the actor has a larger future within the world of The Boys beyond that. He will headline an upcoming prequel spinoff called Vought Rising with Aya Cash as Stormfront. The series, marking the third offshoot from the mothership show after animated anthology Diabolical and the college-set Gen V, will take place in the 1950s at the dawn of the superhero age.
