Eric Kripke served as showrunner on Supernatural for its first five seasons and has since taken charge of Prime Video's hit series, The Boys. The filmmaker reunited with Jensen Ackles for season 3 (where the actor plays Soldier Boy) and there had been rumblings we might also see Jeffrey Dean Morgan in the show.
As we're sure you'll recall, The Walking Dead star was also once part of Supernatural, playing Sam and Dean Winchester's father.
Talking to E! News, Kripke revealed that after Morgan was unable to join in on the fun for The Boys' current season, they are now in active talks to bring him into the recently confirmed season 4. "Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a superfan of [The Boys], so he and I are talking," the showrunner confirmed.
"We're trying to figure out something for season four. Nothing is finalized yet, but he and I are chatting and e-mailing and seeing if we can make it work with his busy schedule. So, stay tuned on that."
That's exciting news, but so is the fact Kripke may be looking to secure another Supernatural alum for the R-Rated series. "I would put Jared [Padalecki] on the show in a heartbeat," Kripke said. "I mean, he's really busy with his empire over there in Austin, but if it was willing to play, I would put him on the show in a second."
Scheduling could be an issue seeing as the actor is starring in Walker for The CW, but we'd love to see all three actors share the screen again at some point. Even if that doesn't happen, Morgan and Padalecki could bring a lot to the table in The Boys, and Ackles has already proved that there's more to him than just Dean Winchester as the unhinged Soldier Boy.
