It isn’t often that Jensen Ackles shares life updates on his social media, so when he does, we’re fully seated. It’s been an up and down year for the Supernatural alum, who celebrated the arrival of his action-packed Prime Video series Countdown over the summer. Overflowing with an explosive storyline and playing out in a procedural format, the series, which also featured the late Eric Dane and Jessica Camacho, the series had all the makings of yet another massive hit for the platform, but unfortunately fizzled out and failed to secure a Season 2 renewal. From there, Ackles reunited with Justin Hartley and the rest of his Tracker family for a few episodes at the top of the CBS show’s third season, where he was joyously welcomed back by the fandom.
Next, we’ll see the actor pop back into the world of Eric Kripke’s The Boys, when he reprises his role as Soldier Boy in the title’s fifth and final season. Slated for a return to screens with a two-episode premiere on April 8, the next set of episodes will close the story that’s been building since the satirical superhero series first touched down onto screens in 2019. As for Ackles’s part, he’s played the character since Season 3 when it was discovered that Soldier Boy was still alive after being presumed dead for decades. During his arc, he searched for revenge against his old teammates and discovered that he had a son in Homelander (Antony Starr) before being put back on ice by the government. Then, at the tail end of the fourth season, he was brought back out of retirement by Homelander with audiences unsure of what the monstrous Supe has up his sleeves for his father in the final season.

Even though The Boys is coming to an end, the story of Soldier Boy will continue on through a prequel project titled Vought Rising. And, thanks to an Instagram post from Ackles, we now know that filming for the first season has come to an end. While patiently waiting for a team of five to help him get into his incredibly tight costume, Ackles shared a “Thank You” video to all the fans who helped the series take flight. Following up the message, he wrote in the post’s caption:
“Finishing out with a bang! It’s been an absolute thrill ride. Thanks to the crew and cast and all those that gave so much time and energy to make this happen. You’re all a bunch of psychos…and I love you for it.”
