Supernatural fans are aware of the fact that Dean and Sam spend their spare time in motel rooms across America, so the sight of Ackles again in a similar motel atmosphere was familiar for Kripke and Ackles. However, Kripke made it clear that the two characters are very different.

Both the writer and cast loved Ackles on the set.  Kripke also said that they would make sure that the stark difference between the two characters, i.e., Dean of Supernatural and Soldier boy of The Boys, is ensured. The writer and makers are focusing on giving a different look, voice, and behavior to the new character. Eric Kripke described Ackels as a crayon box with different crayons which can be used to bring something creative and new into the picture.

A release date for the third season of The Boys is not announced yet. The fresh news for the fans from the comics and creator of the show is certainly exciting. The series is at its peak with recent 2021 Emmy nominations. We are curious to see what the next season of The Boys has in store for us. Are you excited?
