Where Is the Supernatural Cast Now? See the Stars Today, 20 Years After the Demon-Fighting Drama Premiered

It’s been 20 years since fans were introduced to Supernatural‘s Winchester brothers.

Created by Erik Kripke, the TV series — which premiered on Sept. 13, 2005 — followed Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) Winchester, brothers raised to hunt monsters after a demon killed their mother. Guided by their father, John Winchester (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), they crisscrossed the country in their iconic ’67 Chevy Impala, taking on everything from ghosts and werewolves to angels and demons.

As the show went on, the Winchester brothers uncovered a much larger battle between heaven and hell, joined by Castiel (Misha Collins), an angel who becomes their ally and family, and often clashing with figures like Crowley (Mark Sheppard), the witty king of hell. Over 15 seasons, Sam and Dean faced apocalyptic threats, including Lucifer, the Four Horsemen, and even God himself, all while struggling to hold onto their humanity and their bond as brothers.

“I don’t think we ever, ever thought that it would become what it has become,” Ackles told PEOPLE of Supernatural in July 2025. “It is a phenomenon. I wish I understood the formula. I truly feel like it was just a lightning strike, and I’m proud — and will forever be proud — of being a part of it.”

Padalecki, Ackles, and Collins have stayed close friends over the years. According to Ackles, they actually spend more time together than fans might expect, telling PEOPLE, “Honestly, at least once a month.”

Although Supernatural wrapped in 2020, fanatics of the series still have plenty to be excited about. Padalecki and Collins reunited with Ackles for eight episodes of the fifth and final season of his Prime Video series The Boys, which is expected to premiere sometime in 2026.

Here’s everything to know about where the cast of Supernatural is now.

Ackles was no stranger to making the ladies swoon when he walked into the Supernatural universe in 2005.

The actor had Days of Our Lives, Smallville and Dawson’s Creek on his résumé before he took on the role of demon slayer Dean Winchester in the hit CW show.

Following his stint on Supernatural, Ackles lent his voice to Batman: The Long Halloween, in which he played none other than Bruce Wayne himself. He also appeared in The Boys, Big Sky and reprised his role as Dean in The Winchesters, a prequel series to Supernatural.

Off-screen, Ackles has been married to his wife, Daneel Ackels, since 2010, and they share three children together: daughter Justice Jay, whom they welcomed in 2013, and twins Zeppelin Bram and Arrow Rhodes, who joined the family in 2016.

At the height of his heartthrob reign in the early aughts, Padalecki also starred in millennial nostalgic classics such as House of Wax and Friday the 13th. Most recently, Padalecki played the titular character Cordell Walker in The CW’s Walker, which aired its series finale in June 2024.

In real life, Padalecki shares his life with wife Genevieve, whom he met on the set of Supernatural back in 2008. The two got married in 2010 and went on to welcome three children: son Thomas “Tom” Colton in 2012, son Shepherd in 2013 and daughter Odette Elliott in 2017.

No stranger to playing bad guys, Mark Pellegrino’s role as Lucifer certainly gave the Winchesters a run for their money on Supernatural. However, the actor had previously played antagonists in shows such as Lost, Being Human, Dexter, Revolution and The Tomorrow People.

After his time on Supernatural, Pellegrino appeared in 13 Reasons Why, Underdeveloped, Class of ’09 and American Rust.

Though he played a rough and tumble tough demon hunter in Supernatural, the ladies first fell in love with Morgan when he played the ill-fated Denny Duquette on Grey’s Anatomy.

He has since become a household name and was one of the mainstays in The Walking Dead as well as The Walking Dead: Dead City.

Morgan and Burton share two children: a son, Augustus, and a daughter, George Virginia.

Most people would recognize Kim Rhodes for her role as Carey Martin on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and the actress didn’t trade in her matriarchal archetype when she joined Supernatural.
