‘Supernatural’ Star Says He’d ‘Love’ to Play His Beloved Character Again<\/a> originally appeared on Parade<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n ActorJared Padalecki<\/a><\/strong> is open to playing his beloved character Sam Winchester again in a possible Supernatural<\/em> reboot.<\/p>\n Collider reported<\/a> that Padalecki shared he would be interested in reprising the role of the demon hunter during the August 2025 Fan Expo Boston. He noted that he and his castmate, Jensen Ackles<\/a>,<\/strong> who played Sam’s older brother Dean Winchester, starred in the series for 15 years until its final season, which aired in 2020.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m so proud of what the show was, what we were able to do in 15 short years [Laughs].\u00a0I <\/strong>would absolutely love to ride again. We\u2019d need some hair dye for our beards. They\u2019re a little salt and peppery now, but I\u2019d love to get back in that car, roll cameras, and have Dean (Ackles) call me Sam again,” said Padalecki.<\/p>\n According to Collider, the actor clarified he would only be interested in filming a limited series, like the 2016 four-episode Gilmore Girls<\/em> reboot during a June 2024 episode of the I\u2019ve Never Said This Before<\/em> podcast<\/a>. As fans are aware, Padalecki returned to play his Gilmore Girls<\/em> character Dean Forester, who was Rory Gilmore’s (Alexis Bledel<\/a><\/strong>) first boyfriend, for said reboot.<\/p>\n \u201cI will say this. I don\u2019t want to do another 15 years of Supernatural<\/em>. I don\u2019t want to do another 5 years of Supernatural<\/em>,\u00a0I am dying to do a reboot of Supernatural<\/em>. Akin to the Gilmore Girls<\/em> reboot,” said Padalecki during the podcast episode. “Here are four one-and-a-half-hour episodes. We\u2019ll shoot it in three months. I thinkJensen [Ackles] and I both said in 2020, \u2018We\u2019d love to revisit these characters, this world. Give us five years.\u2019 Which is next year. And I see him often. And we talk often.\u00a0I think he and I are both really eager to do it. I\u2019m certain I\u2019ll put the flannel on again and play Sam Winchester.\u201d<\/p>\n While speaking to Collider <\/a>in June 2025, Ackles also shared he would be interested in playing Dean again. However, he’s not able to do so because he’s been filming the Amazon Prime series The Boys<\/em>, its prequel, Vought Rising<\/em>, and Countdown<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, it sounds like Amazon\u2019s going to have to come up with an idea on that one, because they\u2019re controlling my schedule right now,\u201d said Ackles to the publication. \u201cBut look, we\u2019ve talked about our love for the show. We continue to talk about it. We continue to do conventions and fan appearances and stuff, and talk about it. I feel like it\u2019s one of those things where, if it happens, then let\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\n He also noted that he, Padalecki, and Misha Collins<\/strong>, who played angel Castiel on Supernatural<\/em>, had an on-screen reunion for the upcoming fifth and final season of The Boys<\/em>, created by Supernatural <\/em>creator Eric Kripke.<\/p>\n
