'I don't know a whole lot about it, which is effing terrifying,' Padalecki told Business Insider during the 2025 Texas Film Awards.
Padalecki confirmed he will share the screen with Ackles and added, 'I don't know what we're doing. I don't know if we like, bump into each other. I don't know much about it. They're still trying to write and figure out who's gonna be there. But it'll be the end of this month.'
Supernatural premiered on The WB in 2005 and crossed over to The CW the following year. The series created by Eric Kripke ran for 15 seasons and ended its run in 2020. The link between Supernatural and The Boys is Kripke who developed the superhero series for Prime Video.
Ackles joined The Boys in Season 3 playing the role of Soldier Boy and will reprise his role in the final season. Previously, Supernatural's Jeffrey Dean Morgan also appeared in Season 4 of The Boys.
'I know Eric Kripke very well,' Padalecki said. 'I know The Boys very well. He's like, 'Hey, you wanna come play?' I'm like, 'Yes, I think?''
Padalecki said that it was his wife that encouraged him to take on the role but had one condition, recalling a text to Kripke where he said, 'Hey, if I'm getting naked, just give me like a month's notice to eat broccoli and rice and chicken breasts and all day long just sit there doing push-ups.'
Reuniting with his Supernatural co-stars is something that Padalecki knows fans will enjoy, with the actor adding, 'It's fucking terrifying for me.'

Watch: 'Shiny Happy People' Season 2 trailer explores secrets of Teen Mania
July 8 (UPI) -- Prime Video released a trailer for Shiny Happy People: A Teenage Holy War, a documentary series delving into the secrets of the Teen Mania youth ministry group. The three-part series, from creators Nicole Newnham and Cori Shepherd, marks the second season of Shiny Happy People, after the filmmakers previously profiled the Duggars in 2023's Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets. Season 2 explores the secrets and controversies of Teen Mania, which was once the largest Christian youth organization in the United States. "Teen Mania captivated a generation of fervent evangelical Millennial kids with adrenaline-fueled, ecstatic religious experiences through 'Acquire the Fire' rallies," the official synopsis reads. "But beneath the glittering surface lurked sadistic boot camps, staged martyrdom drills and fascism disguised as faith -- transforming innocent teens into fanatical soldiers, with devastating consequences still unfolding today." Shiny Happy People: A Teenage Holy War premieres July 23 on Prime Video.

EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays Returns in 2025
The 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays returns to Walt Disney World Resort from November 29 through December 30, 2025. This fan-favorite event transforms EPCOT into a dazzling celebration of holiday traditions from around the world, offering guests a rich tapestry of seasonal flavors, live entertainment, and heartwarming storytelling. A Global Celebration of the Season Spanning World Showcase and select areas of World Celebration and World Discovery, the Festival of the Holidays invites guests to explore how different cultures commemorate the holiday season. From festive music and traditional décor to authentic foods and live performances, every corner of EPCOT is infused with the spirit of joy, peace, and goodwill. The Candlelight Processional Returns At the heart of the festival is the Candlelight Processional, one of Walt Disney World's most cherished holiday traditions. Staged nightly at the America Gardens Theatre, this stirring performance features a full orchestra, a massed choir composed of Disney cast members and community groups, and a rotating lineup of celebrity narrators who retell the biblical story of Christmas. Guests can expect a powerful blend of music and narration, accompanied by candlelit ambiance and timeless arrangements. In the coming months, Disney will release the full list of celebrity narrators along with details about dining packages, which offer reserved seating options for the show. Savor the Season with Holiday Kitchens The Holiday Kitchens are a culinary tour of holiday traditions, offering more than a dozen food booths around the park that highlight seasonal flavors from various cultures. From classic American holiday dishes to international treats, there's something to satisfy every palate. In past years, popular booths have included: American Holiday Table – featuring traditional favorites like slow-roasted turkey and stuffing. Las Posadas Holiday Kitchen – highlighting Mexican holiday cuisine with tamales and festive beverages. L'Chaim! Holiday Kitchen – offering Jewish delicacies such as potato latkes and brisket. Yukon Holiday Kitchen – serving Canadian comfort food like seared scallops and maple-butter glazed treats. Menus for the 2025 festival are expected to be announced later this fall, and guests can pick up a Festival Passport to track their culinary journey. Festive Entertainment and Storytelling The entertainment lineup this year brings back a series of Holiday Storytellers, each stationed at different World Showcase pavilions. These cultural representatives share authentic stories and customs from their native countries, offering engaging, family-friendly performances that bring global traditions to life. Past storytellers have included: Père Noël in France, sharing the magic of a French Christmas. La Befana in Italy, telling the tale of the kind-hearted witch who delivers gifts to children. Daruma Seller in Japan, discussing New Year traditions and the symbolism of the Daruma doll. At the World Showcase Plaza stage, JOYFUL! A Celebration of the Season returns with an uplifting blend of gospel, R&B, and contemporary holiday music. This high-energy show is a must-see for anyone seeking powerful vocals and feel-good vibes. The Holiday Cookie Stroll Back by popular demand, the Holiday Cookie Stroll invites guests to indulge their sweet tooth. Purchase five designated cookies at select Holiday Kitchens (stamped in your Festival Passport), and you'll receive a complimentary specialty cookie as a reward. It's a fun and festive activity that's perfect for families and snack lovers. More Magic Throughout the Park Guests can also enjoy: Seasonal overlays on select attractions and decor throughout EPCOT. Holiday merchandise featuring exclusive apparel, kitchenware, and collectibles. Themed PhotoPass opportunities, including Magic Shots and festive backdrops.
