Unbelievable Connections: Supernatural, The Boys, and Preacher Share a Wild Universe!

It might surprise you to learn that “The Boys”, “Supernatural”, and even “Preacher” share the same fictional universe. Although Eric Kripke’s hit live-action series and Garth Ennis’ popular comic books may appear unrelated at first glance, a closer look reveals intriguing connections between them all.

To clarify, the connection isn’t due to Eric Kripke transitioning from working on Supernatural to adapting The Boys for Amazon, or Jensen Ackles playing Soldier Boy in The Boys’ third season. Instead, it traces back to an episode of Supernatural that showed contacts in Sam’s phone, revealing he knows both Billy Butcher from The Boys and Proinsias Cassidy from Preacher. While this might seem like an Easter egg, it becomes more intriguing when one realizes that Preacher and The Boys share the same universe.

Sam Winchester Has Billy Butcher and Cassidy’s Contact Info

And Yes, Cassidy Does Exist in The Boys’ Universe

It may appear that these three franchises, “The Boys”, “Preacher”, and “Supernatural”, share a complex relationship. While “The Boys” and “Preacher” are comics created by Garth Ennis, “Supernatural” is a live-action series unrelated to the other two. Interestingly, both “Preacher” and “Supernatural” delve into themes of vampires, demons, and suchlike entities. However, the main focus of “The Boys” revolves around the powerful Supes that the protagonist, Butcher, and his team manage to control. So, what could possibly link these three series? The connection can be traced back to the third episode of “Supernatural’s” fifth season titled “Free to Be You and Me”.

In the episode under discussion, we see the well-known duo of brothers temporarily stepping away from their regular partnership. Yet, Sam can’t stay clear of his life for too long, especially when he picks up hints about catastrophic events happening. He then shares this critical intel with his trusted friend, Bobby Singer. A quick scene shows Sam’s phone contacts, and among a few names under Bobby’s are the details of Butcher and Cassidy, listed one after another. This may not seem suspicious on its own, but it becomes more intriguing when you understand how Preacher and The Boys share a connection.

In issue 27 of “The Boys,” Butcher shares a drink in a New York City bar, which kicks out a noisy group celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. After handling the situation, the bartender sits down for a drink with Butcher and is referred to as ‘Proinsias,’ which is Cassidy’s given name. Although the bartender appears older and carries a few extra pounds compared to fans’ memories of Cassidy, it should be noted that “Preacher” concluded with Cassidy transforming into a human. It’s worth mentioning that Cassidy had long-cherished the dream of opening a bar, which he ultimately fulfilled by the time “The Boys” began.

The Boys is Stranger Than Most Fans Realize

It’s quite possible that the quick glimpse of Sam’s contacts in ‘Supernatural’ is a tribute to Garth Ennis, considering Kripke’s admiration for his work on ‘The Boys’. As for Cassidy’s appearance in ‘The Boys’, it might simply be Ennis providing a satisfying conclusion for a beloved character. However, it’s intriguing to speculate that ‘Supernatural’, ‘The Boys’, and ‘Preacher’, each unique in their own right, could all be mere fragments of a much more chaotic universe.

It’s intriguing to ponder how the narratives might have intertwined, even though Supernatural and The Boys don’t delve into superpowers or magic, respectively. Imagining the Winchesters facing off against a minor superhuman being or the Boys stumbling upon genuine supernatural events is quite fascinating. Despite no direct crossover between Supernatural, The Boys, and Preacher, it’s still exciting to observe the subtle similarities linking these three captivating tales.
