‘The Rookie’ Boss Explains Jared Padalecki & Jensen Ackles’ Cameos

Supernatural stars Jensen and Jared made cameo appearances in the April 13 episode of The Rookie, playing themselves in a storyline set at a convention involving a case with demonic elements.
The Rookie showrunner Alexi Hawley sought the duo's expertise given the 15 years they spent on Supernatural, including episodes featuring similar demonic lore. Hawley asked Fillion to contact them about joining the episode.
During a scene set at MonsterCon, Interviewer Abigail questioned the pair about their expertise. While Jensen insisted, "No, not like that," Jared allowed, "I mean, kind of like that."
Fillion told Hawley, "See if he'll do the show because that would be super fun," and both actors ultimately agreed to participate, partly because Ackles' daughter is a big fan of The Rookie.
Jensen pointed out that they are only actors and there are no real-life demon hunters, offering meta-commentary on the episode where the pair appeared as KPop Demon Hunters alongside the show's cast.
