“The Boys” Season 5 Trailer Shows Jensen Ackles Facing Off With Misha Collins

The final season of The Boys is on the way, and the newly released trailer makes one thing very clear: the show plans to go out as loud, vulgar, and chaotic as humanly possible.

Prime Video dropped the first official trailer for season five, teasing the explosive endgame for the long-running superhero satire. The season premieres April 8, 2026 with two episodes before rolling out weekly installments, leading up to the series finale on May 20.

The preview doesn’t even pretend to play it safe. It’s packed with outrageous jokes, ridiculous violence, and the kind of hilariously inappropriate moments that made the show a global hit in the first place.

Basically: if you thought the final season might calm down — the trailer would like a word.

The “Supernatural” Guys Are Back Together (Sort Of)

One of the biggest surprises in the trailer is the long-awaited reunion of Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins.

The trio — who famously spent 15 seasons hunting monsters as Sam Winchester, Dean Winchester, and Castiel — are now reunited in a much messier universe.

Ackles is already established in the show as the wildly problematic Supe Soldier Boy. In the trailer, his equally unhinged son Homelander (played by Antony Starr) wakes him up from cryogenic storage.

Soldier Boy’s first reaction after waking up in his underwear and wearing a Homelander “Sorry, Snowflake” shirt?

A very confused and extremely on-brand: “Did you f— me?”

So yes. The show remains deeply committed to being completely ridiculous.

Padalecki and Collins appear as mysterious new characters lounging around a massive mansion in aggressively loud button-down shirts — looking like the world’s most suspiciously dressed rich guys.

And in what might be the most chaotic moment of the preview, Soldier Boy ends up grabbing Collins’ character by the throat during a brief but memorable confrontation.

It’s not exactly the Supernatural reunion fans imagined… but it’s definitely the one The Boys would deliver.

The crossover has been years in the making. The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke also created Supernatural, and he’s long talked about wanting to bring his former stars into the series. Scheduling conflicts delayed the reunion, but the final season finally pulls it off.

They’re also not the first alumni to jump franchises — Jeffrey Dean Morgan previously joined the show as well.

Homelander Is Trying to Become a God

The trailer also sets up the final season’s central conflict: Homelander’s ego has officially reached divine levels.

The increasingly unstable Supe now seems obsessed with achieving full-blown immortality and absolute control. Waking up Soldier Boy appears to be part of that plan — though teaming up with your extremely volatile father might not be the smartest strategy.

Then again, “smart strategy” has never exactly been Homelander’s brand.

The Boys Are in Serious Trouble

Meanwhile, things are looking pretty bleak for the human side of the fight.

Hughie Campbell, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie have been locked away in a so-called “Freedom Camp,” which sounds suspiciously like the worst summer camp imaginable.

Starlight is trying to organize a resistance against the growing Supe regime.

Kimiko has disappeared entirely — though the trailer hints she may return in a major way.

And then there’s Billy Butcher, played by Karl Urban, who storms back into the story with a plan that’s as extreme as it is terrifying.

Butcher is ready to deploy a virus capable of wiping every Supe off the face of the Earth — a move that could either save humanity or completely destroy it.

The Final Fight for America

Season five picks up after the events of Gen V season two and builds toward what the show describes as the final battle for the soul of America.

If the trailer is any indication, the last chapter will deliver everything fans expect: outrageous satire, shocking violence, absurd humor, and characters making increasingly terrible life choices.

In other words, The Boys is heading into its finale the only way it knows how:

completely unfiltered, wildly inappropriate, and absolutely hilarious.
