Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Walking Dead) has agreed to join the cast of the hit Amazon Prime Video series The Boys for the show’s upcoming fourth season, according to Deadline. Morgan will be joining the cast as a recurring guest star, but all other details about his character are currently unknown.
Morgan confirmed the news in a series of tweets on Thursday.
Morgan will be reunited with Supernatural creator Eric Kripke (Boogeyman), who serves as showrunner for The Boys. Morgan portrayed John Winchester in a recurring role on Supernatural.
Kripke discussed the prospect of Morgan joining the show in an interview with E! News in June.
“Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a superfan of the show, so he and I are talking. We’re trying to figure out something for season four. Nothing finalized yet, but he and I are chatting and e-mailing and seeing it we can make it work with his busy schedule. So, stay tuned on that,” Kripke said.
