As most of us know, “Supernatural” is currently on a very long six-week hiatus (also known as hellatus) that is driving us crazy. But that hasn’t stopped the whirlwind of exciting news and updates sweeping over the fandom.
Jared set to star in “Walker Texas Ranger” reboot
Not too long ago it was announced that a “Walker Texas Ranger” reboot was in the works with our very own Jared Padalecki set to be the lead as well as the executive producer. Recently more details on CW’s “Walker” have come to light. Cast members such as “The 100” star Lindsey Morgan and “Pretty Little Liars” star Keegan Allen will play the female lead, Micki, and Walker’s conservative gay brother, Liam. The most exciting cast announcement has to be Mitch Pileggi who previously played Padalecki’s grandfather on “Supernatural,” will play Walker’s father.
Jensen celebrates his birthday
This week Jensen celebrated his 42nd birthday the only way he knows how by partying. This time last year he was preparing to be King Bacchus in the New Orleans Mardi Gras. He may not have been king this year, but that didn’t stop him from celebrating the event and joining the parade. This also marks the last time that Jensen will get to celebrate his birthday on the set of “Supernatural” which Jared reminded us in a very heartfelt Instagram post.
Misha continues to text fans
On October 11, 2019, Misha Collins took to social media with the brilliant idea of sharing his phone number with the world, and he’s continued to wreak havoc ever since. Recently he has been texting photos of ‘Cas’ in different places, with one of his most memorable being a photo of himself and Jensen with the caption, “It’s hard to say goodbye to the solid, dependable performers on a close-knit set. Recently, I shot the last scene I’ll ever shoot with Jensen Ackles’ robe…so I guess you can say, “that’s a wrap” on his wrap.”
Jared runs the Austin marathon
He’s done it, and jokingly regretted it, many times before, but Jared Padalecki took on yet another marathon. Plenty of fans cheered Jared on with the hashtag #RunPadsRun, including Gen who was nothing but proud of her husband. In the end, Jared finished in 3:47:50 which is pretty good.
