Supernatural ran for 15 seasons on the CW and starred Jensen Ackles andJared Padalecki. The most recent season of The Boys as Soldier Boy was impacted byckles. During Supernatural's first five seasons, Kripke was the show's executive producer, but after a desire to work on other projects, he took a break. He is very vocal about the benefits of streaming, and is happy to have made the jump, as he gets to focus in on the story without having to retcon or backtrack on storylines. He says that the ability to have most of his script written before the first day of shooting and the fact that all the episodes are finished before the air date puts his show in front of any other show.

There are logistical benefits that would be impossible to give up because you can tell a coherent piece in a way you can't with network TV. You ejected it from the door. You can't leave, you're locked in. We realize there is a different story line we need to tell when we are in the middle of filming. We have time to shoot it again for the first episode.

The first three seasons of The Boys are available on Prime Video.
