Supernatural Cast: Then vs. Now
Supernatural‘s first season came out in 2005 and its last season aired in 2020. Over 15 years, the show managed to establish itself as one of the best shows of all time. It was created by Eric Kripke and he departed the series just one-third of the way through after concluding its main storyline. The main cast of Supernatural really uplifted the show. Some of the actors from the main cast of the series remained relevant while some decided to walk away from acting. Here is the cast of Supernatural, then vs now.
Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester)
Recently, Jensen Ackles appeared as Solider Boy in the famous TV series The Boys which reunited him with Supernatural creator Eric Kripke. The actor is the executive producer of The Winchesters, a Supernatural prequel focused on Dean and Sam’s parents. The actor will also reprise his role.
