Four Supernatural stars reunited over the weekend in a very fitting location, five years after the show ended. For fifteen seasons, Supernatural covered the fantastical adventures of Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) as they stepped into the family business of monster hunting. The series developed a passionate and dedicated fanbase over the course of its run, and even now, it remains one of the most popular shows online. Recently, Padalecki, Ackles, and Misha Collins, who played the angel Castiel, were scheduled to appear at The Road So Far… the Road Ahead convention in Minneapolis from April 25 to 27.
Now, in an Instagram post shared by Collins, the three Supernatural stars were joined by another surprise guest in Dean’s trademark black 1967 Chevrolet Impala, nicknamed Baby. Ruthie Connell, who played Rowena on the show, can be seen sitting in the backseat with Collins. As teased in the caption, their “innocent” reunion took a turn in the third photo.

What This Means For Supernatural
Supernatural Remains “On-Air” Even After The Show Ended In 2020
This year’s convention featured several members of the Supernatural cast beyond the four shown above, including Mark Sheppard (Crowley), Jim Beaver (Bobby Singer), and Alexander Calvert (Jack). Conventions have become a popular place for actors to interact with both their fans and their former co-stars, and in the case of Supernatural, they have helped to keep passion for the series alive even well after the show’s completion. It is clear that this is a show that will live on for a very long time.
Even though Supernatural ended in 2020, the series still occupies a place in the cast’s and fans’ hearts. Recently, it has been confirmed that Padalecki, Ackles, and Collins will all appear in The Boys season 5, though it isn’t yet clear what roles they will all play beyond Ackles, who already has the part of Soldier Boy. Their desire to keep working with each other shows how much they enjoyed their time on Supernatural. While there’s been no official announcement about a reboot, creator Eric Kripke and the series’ leads have all expressed interest in revisiting the Winchesters’ world.
Our Take On The Supernatural Reunion
There Could Always Be More
It evokes a lot of feelings seeing Sam and Dean sitting in the Impala again with Castiel in the backseat. Even though the four stars are not posing for the show specifically, they are perfectly in character. The “Baby” reunion is very Supernatural-flavored; given Castiel’s record of being tempted by demons, women, and such, it’s not shocking that he would develop a particular interest in Rowena, who is in charge of Hell by the time of Supernatural‘s ending.
Ackles and Padalecki also reacted to the development similarly to how their characters would’ve reacted on the show. Overall, it seems that the core cast had a lot of fun during the convention weekend, and honestly, there haven’t been enough Supernatural reunions since the show ended. Hopefully, The Boys will provide many more.
