More than five years after Supernatural wrapped its 15-season run with a divisive finale, the show's loyal fandom continues to pack convention halls, proving that the Winchester brothers' legacy is far from forgotten. At a recent panel at Big Lick Comic Con NOVA, moderated by Collider's Maggie Lovitt, actresses Emily Swallow (Amara) and Ruth Connell (Rowena) took time to reflect on their time in the series and their connection to its passionate fanbase. But the highlight came when an audience member asked a simple question: when will Supernatural get its own version of The Boys called The Girls?
The suggestion immediately drew laughter and applause, and both actresses ran with it. Connell responded, "I love that question, I think The Girls is a great idea." Swallow agreed, calling it "an excellent question" before expanding on the concept. Rather than a direct gender-swapped copy of The Boys, she envisioned a series that would explore the Supernatural universe through a completely different lens, focusing on its female characters.
The connection between the two franchises is no coincidence. Supernatural was created by Eric Kripke, who now helms The Boys on Prime Video. Connell jokingly noted that while many male Supernatural alums have appeared on The Boys, the women have been left out. "I did make a slight complaint that a lot of the guys had been in The Boys but none of the women, but [Kripke just said] he respects the women too much to make them do The Boys," she said with a laugh.
Swallow, however, leaned into the creative possibilities. She suggested that The Girls could be a show that stands on its own, offering a fresh narrative while still honoring the rich mythology of Supernatural. The idea sparked excitement among fans, who have long wondered what a female-led spin-off might look like.

The panel also highlighted the enduring appeal of Supernatural, a show that continues to inspire fan theories, cosplay, and convention appearances years after its finale. Whether The Girls ever becomes a reality or remains a fun convention joke, the moment underscores how much the cast still enjoys imagining the future of the franchise alongside its devoted audience.
For fans craving more supernatural storytelling, The Nevers on HBO Max offers a compelling fantasy binge. And if you're looking for a feel-good superhero fix after The Boys, Heroes might be just the ticket.
