A time-traveling version of John Winchester was resurrected briefly for season 14, and Mary Winchester became a series regular after having died during the show's pilot.
Ending Supernatural once and for all, however, gives showrunners the opportunity to really do whatever they want. Following the show's season 15 renewal announcement, Jensen Ackles told TV Guide , "The fact that [Chuck's] opened the gates to heaven and hell and said, 'You guys figure it out,' really puts us in a position to go anywhere and to have anybody come back. I'm hoping we take full advantage of that, and I have a feeling that we might.
During the show's San Diego Comic-Con panel , co-showrunner Andrew Dabb revealed that Jake Abel, who was last seen at the end of season five, will reprise his role as the Winchesters' half-brother, Adam.
While some might argue that Supernatural reached its peak long ago , the show's numbers say otherwise. And if it were up to the network, the series would go on forever.
In the season 14 digital feature, "The Winchester Mythology: The Choices We Make," Jensen Ackles said of the final season via Entertainment Weekly , "The world has just opened up, essentially, and all of those things that we have spent so many years fighting, they're going to come knocking now. Misha Collins told TV Guide , "I hate to say this, but I kind of hope that the main characters on the show die at the end.
I feel like we need that finality. For everyone involved with Supernatural , going out while they still had a really good story to tell was their biggest priority on top of making it to the show's th episode, which happened halfway into season Jared Padalecki told Entertainment Weekly in that he and Jensen Ackles would both "be truly bummed" if they weren't able to reach that milestone. After news came that Supernatural would finally see its end after 15 seasons, Padalecki and Ackles spoke to the crowd at VegasCon in and gave some background on their reasoning for ending the show.
According to Ackles, "It wasn't an easy decision. It was months and months, if not years of discussion. Nobody wanted to see this show fizzle out.
It was everyone wanting to do the biggest service to the show that we could by going out strong. When Eric Kripke stepped down as showrunner in , he told Entertainment Weekly that the end of the series would come down to its ability to keep telling new stories. In an attempt to piggyback off the success of Supernatural , the CW has tried — and failed — to launch a spin-off series, twice. In , there was Supernatural: Bloodlines , a "mafia-esque" drama about the monster families that rule over the Chicago crime circuit.
Then again in , series execs made an attempt with Wayward Sisters , which shifted the focus to Sheriff Jody Mills and a group of young female hunters. Both series were given backdoor pilots, but neither one got the green light for a full season. At the San Diego Comic-Con, Supernatural's executive producer, Brad Buckner, said via CinemaBlend , "So this show is really an anomaly for the beauty of its machinery and the chemistry.
So every time you pitch a Supernatural spin-off, or you shoot one, it's very difficult to rise to that level. It isn't difficult to imagine how 15 seasons on the same set could become monotonous for its stars.
While Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki have both provided input on their characters to Supernatural 's production team over the years, neither of them has ever felt the desire to produce themselves. That leaves them in the position of just being actors although Ackles has stepped up to direct an episode or two , something that can start to feel stagnant when it's the same role for over a decade.
Speaking with Variety in , Ackles discussed his and Padalecki's creative influence on the show and their collaboration with the showrunners, saying, "It works. And I think that's something where they're like, let's not reinvent the wheel. Whatever we're doing is working. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it. For Ackles, the ability to play a different character for a bit he took on the role of the archangel Michael for season 14 renewed his love of coming to set everyday, but unfortunately, that role was only temporary.
When a show has been on as long as Supernatural has, it becomes easier to find fault with some aspect of its storytelling. That's exactly what happened for Mark Sheppard, who played the "King of Hell," Crowley, for seven seasons. Culture Film, TV and Theatre.
In fact, Supernatural only just wrapped last Thursday , with the series finale leaving fans feeling bittersweet more on that later.
The show began in and has garnered a considerable and loyal fan base since then myself included. It was settled—I was going to commit to the long run. Did I come to regret that decision? That said, nothing could have prepared me for this show in its entirety. I laughed, I cried, I cringed, and I swooned. PS : Some spoilers ahead.
The pilot episode starts with a flashback: Mary Winchester, mother to Sam and Dean, dies in a suspicious fire. Daddy dearest goes missing while out hunting. Worried, Dean pays Sam a visit at his dorm and convinces him to help search for their father.
Sam is initially reluctant to follow Dean, but soon relents and the pair head off on their first hunt. A bro-bonding sesh, a Pontianak and a few witty quips later, Sam returns to his dorm to find that his girlfriend Jessica has been murdered in the exact supernatural manner as his mother bummer. This full-circle moment then leads him to return to the hunting life. After episodes and 15 seasons, Eric Kripke's cult hit Supernatural is finally coming to an end.
I will say this, a little word from Eric Kripke, the creator about this world and these characters, that in a show about family, it is amazing and it is the pride of his life that it became a family. So thank you guys for that. It's fitting that it was the actors who announced the end of the show. They have created something of these two brothers For a show that began as a scribble in Kripke's notebook about "two brothers on a road trip," Supernatural has come a long way.
