Amazon’s “The Boys” showrunner Eric Kripke has taken a request from his old workmate and actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan to heart.
In an interview with Collider, Kripke confirms that he has a role in mind on the superhero series for the 54-year-old “The Walking Dead” actor.
Morgan previously worked with Kripke on the first season of the Kripke-created long-running CW series “Supernatural” where he played the father of the two leads. Following the first season of “The Boys” run last year, Morgan lobbied for a role on the series on Twitter and now there are currently in talks with Morgan to potentially appear in the third season:
“He has to, uh, we have to like co-ordinate. Because you know, he’s on The Walking Dead, so he has another home. But we already talked about one role, and there might be a potential other that we’re talking about. But we are, just this past week we were literally texting back and forth about trying to figure out how to get him on the show. I don’t think it’s a done deal yet, but the will is there, and we’re both talking about it.”
The second season of the series finished filming a while back and is on the way this coming September 4th. It’s not yet clear as to when a third season will go into production though it will likely be sooner rather than later.
