What The Boys Season 5’s Teaser Means
The Boys' Teaser Could Be Available Soon
While the aforementioned teaser details might not offer much, it’slikely because Amazon didn’t want to overshadow theirGen Vseason 2 trailer with content related toThe Boys’final season. Not to mention, the glimpses of Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki will be exciting due to theSupernaturalreunion aspect.
The superhero dark comedy series is created by Eric Kripke, who’s also well-known for creatingSupernatural. That said, Ackles, Padalecki, andSupernatural’sMisha Collins will all reunite inThe Boysseason, adding some additional flavor and room for comedy amidst an action-packed final season.

The Boysseason 5 has already wrapped filming, so post-production on the series is likely well underway. This meansaudiences could expect to see the teaser sooner rather than later, and hopefully a full-length trailer by the end of the year, if not duringGen V’sseason 2 run.
Gen Vseason 2 is set to premiere in September, andThe Boyscharacters, including Starlight, Deep, and Black Noir, are all set to appear. Hamish Linklater (Midnight Mass) also picks up a starring role in the new season.

Our Take On The Boys Season 5’s Teaser
Jared Padalecki’s Guest-Starring Role Sounds Hilariously Terrifying
For anyone expecting a chummySupernaturalreunion, I’d advise going intoThe Boysseason 5 with caution. It’s crucial to remember that this is the show that released “Herogasm,” and thatEric Kripke loves pushing the limits with his stars, particularly those he’s worked with for a long time.
I’m very excited to see Jared Padalecki’s character and learn more about him, as I’m expecting this to be one of the funniest sequences in the entire show. I’m bracing myself for plenty of disturbing moments inThe Boysseason 5, and I imagine this will be one of them.
