Jensen Ackles Talks Supernatural Reunion With Jared Padalecki on Walker
Jensen Ackles opens up about reuniting with his Supernatural co-star Jared Padalecki while directing an episode of Walker. Ackles and Padalecki shared the screen as brothers Dean and Sam Winchester through a staggering 15 seasons of Supernatural. The Winchesters were hunters, traveling the country to battle the likes of vampires, demons, and even God. Throughout Supernatural's prolific 327 episode run, Ackles and Padalecki formed a strong friendship, which persists following the series finale in 2020.
After Supernatural ended, both actors quickly found work elsewhere. Ackles got the chance to voice Batman in Batman: The Long Halloween while also landing the role of Soldier Boy on Prime Video's hit series The Boys.

Ackles and Padalecki then got a chance to work together again, with Ackles tapped to direct a recent episode of Walker season 2 called «No Such Thing as Fair Play,» his first directorial effort outside of the six episodes of Supernatural he previously helmed.
