Padalecki On “Supernatural” Return Conditions

Padalecki says that return is contingent on it being something more akin to a limited series than another full season:

“I will say this. I don’t want to do another 15 years of Supernatural. I don’t want to do another 5 years of Supernatural, I am dying to do a reboot of Supernatural akin to the Gilmore Girls reboot.

Here are four one-and-a-half-hour episodes. We’ll shoot it in three months. I think Jensen [Ackles] and I both said in 2020, ‘we’d love to revisit these characters, this world. Give us five years.’

Which is next year. And I see him often. And we talk often. I think he and I are both really eager to do it. I’m certain I’ll put the flannel on again and play Sam Winchester.”

Padalecki’s schedule has been freed up a bit as his “Walker” series was recently cancelled by the network. However former “Supernatural” showrunner Eric Kripke is believed to be considering Padalecki for a role in the fifth and final season of “The Boys”. That films later this year.
