Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles: From ‘Supernatural’ to New Heights
Oh, the brothers from “Supernatural,” Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, are back in the spotlight, and it’s not just for reminiscing about monster-hunting days! Since leaving their characters, Dean and Sam Winchester, behind in 2020 after 15 captivating seasons, the duo has been busy racking up roles faster than you can say “banshee.”
Padalecki is currently riding the waves of success with his leading role in The CW’s “Walker,” a reimagining of the classic “Walker, Texas Ranger,” where he’s not just flexing his acting chops but also serving as executive producer. “Walker” did so well that it birthed a prequel, “Walker: Independence,” where Padalecki popped in for a cheeky cameo. And let’s not forget about his role in CBS’ “Fire Country,” where he plays Camden Casey in a three-episode arc designed to potentially spin off. The show focuses on firefighters, which feels fitting given Padalecki’s own tough-guy persona.
Meanwhile, Ackles has taken on the superhero mantle—literally! He portrayed Soldier Boy in Amazon’s “The Boys,” a twist that shocked fans who only knew him as the charming Dean. But who wouldn’t want a little variety, right? His time on “The Boys” also came with exciting perks, including prequel opportunities and a role in the spinoff “Gen V.” In fact, he’s set to return alongside Padalecki for the final season of “The Boys,” which is just a call-back to their roots with creator Eric Kripke.
And because these guys just can’t get enough of each other, Ackles is taking part in the upcoming Prime Video series “Tracker” and continues engaging in behind-the-scenes roles as well. He’s also reconnected with Anna Fricke to work on an untitled project featuring a unique country doctor.
Fans of the supernatural cannot help but celebrate the bond that these actors have maintained through the years. They’ve turned their passion into a never-ending series of opportunities, crossing paths in their careers while remaining grounded in their shared journey. It’s like a family reunion we never knew we needed!
