While they’re wanted dead or alive by things that go bump in the night, Sam and Dean Winchester don’t fear the reaper. Likewise, fans shouldn’t worry that Supernatural will be cancelled any time too soon. Speaking at the TCA summer press tour, The CW President Mark Pedowitz said he is “thrilled” with the show’s direction, adding that stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles seem happy to continue, TV Line reports. Supernatural season 12 premieres on its new (old) night, Thursday October 13, 2016 on The CW.
Deadline reports Pedowitz said. “Creatively the show is terrific, and if the ratings hold, it would outlast me in this chair.” The thriller-drama also stars Misha Collins and Mark Sheppard. In the 12th season, Rick Springfield takes the reins of the Lucifer role from Mark Pellegrino, and Samantha Smith returns as mama Mary Winchester. Andrew Dabb and Robert Singer have taken over as showrunners.
Per Deadline, Pedowitz has let it be known that Supernatural is one of his favorite shows and has looked after it accordingly. According to both Deadline and TV Line, a Supernatural spin-off is still on the wish-list as a “priority.”
TV Line says Pedowitz also added, “It just hasn’t happened. I leave it to the studio [Warner Bros. Television]. When they’re ready to do it, we’ll be glad to have it developed.”
Speaking as a longtime fan of Supernatural, this reporter has more than a feeling that the series should end with season 13. Don’t think I’m as cold as ice. It seems like a good spooky number that just feels right.
As someone who drifted away from Supernatural, then came back to it a couple of years ago and binged until caught up, I can see why it has continued so long, but think it would benefit from an end date.
My eldest son just started watching this summer. He is already in the midst of season six. Having watched along with him — delighting in his obvious enjoyment — I told him about this story, as I was writing it. He said, “Oh, come on! It needs an ending.” Carry on, my wayward son.
Of course, when my boy was little, the first time I sang, “This Is the Song that Doesn’t End,” to him, he freaked out like he was on the highway to Hell. I had to make up an ending, to calm him down. A renegade — he is not.

What do you think? How many seasons should Supernatural run? Should Sam and Dean die bloody (not to mention permanently), or would you give them a happy ending? Tell us.
Also Maybe It Could End After 18 Seasons
I Want Castiel To Come Back, I Mean This Whole Show Has To Do With Angels, Crowley Too I Love How Sassy he is, Also I Really Want A Happy Ending For Dean, Sam, Cas And Mary.
I love Supernatural and would be lost without it! It’s my guiltiest pleasure. My favorite thing to do Monday through Friday is watch reruns. I know all good things must come to an end but I’m hoping not anytime to soon!
supernaturl wneeds to end i love the show so much but it needs to end after u tell us what happens to the other brother who is in the pit and i think you need to bring there dad back and find out were is joe and her mom cause they were not seen in the after life after sam and dean look for them i belive the show should end at season 17 to cover every thing and i think the two brothers shoud die and come angels like cast and the brothers have train new supernatrul hunters so… Read more »
I am a huge huge fan of Supernatural! Its one of the best shows I have ever watched; its got a super interesting theme with the right mix of emotions, angst and humour!While I agree that the first 5 seasons have been exceptionally great,I don’t want this show to end , not atleast untill season 15,simply because its been epic and I totally want it to set epic records!!If the actors are willing( J2 are just amazing & superbly fun-freaking-tastic!) why not introduce fresh direction and let the show go one for few more seasons! About the ending , I… Read more »
Why end at 15 never end it.
I don’t think this series should ever end! It’s done nothing but get better and more interesting through the years. I had a hard time paying attention to the earlier seasons but these last few I caan’t get enough of. I’m dying to see the newest season but had a hard time finding when it was showinh cause I’ve always binge watched on TNT but now I knowiit’s CW that shows it and hopefully can catch up.
LONG LIVE SUPERNATURAL!
I’m a late bloomer to the show. I’ve binge watched up to season 9 so far. I absolutely love the show and I’m a 40 year old married dad! But I do think 13 should be it and honestly the only way to go out is the brothers dying guns blazing saving the world. To keep it going is likely going to get into silly writing and I’m sure everyone is wanting to try other projects. I think a spin-off is a great idea though I’m not far enough along to know what you’d spin-off exactly. But a fresh direction… Read more »
I really enjoy supernatural but this past few seasons are letting me down. I believe it is time to end. In Season 12 for instance. Why brother bring back Mary Winchester if she barely interacts with her boys? I had high expectations you know, mum & Son bonding; going through whatever she is going with her boys by her side. I really hope the rest of season 12 Mary Winchester will have a meaningful role in the story line.The whole cast has delivered an amazing show in the past 12 years but the stories are more than predicable, magic and… Read more »
Season 13. Should be bad ass!! Cannot wait. Been a fan from day 1!! Bring it
Did I mention that I NEVER want it to end? Hahaha
I don’t EVER want it to end…NEVER!!!! Lol
I don’t want if to EVER end. Lol
I really want there to be 13 seasons. I love the idea of 13 seasons of Supernatural, and that’s it. I would 100% catch up on Supernatural and watch it (even though there are things I really disliked from season 11 and I didn’t watch it) while it aired if season 13 was the last season.
Supernatural is my favorite show ever. I have bought all 11 seasons and watched them over and over :). I am patiently waiting for season 12. Keep up the good work guys. Love Jensen and Jared
Well, being a person that LOVES the show…. I think it should go for at least 8 more seasons to make it an even 20…. Then, make it a happy ending where they both save each other & find the Charmed girls… Even though they’re married… Even after both groups were done saving the world & become friends after finding out they all went to school together & were all related in different ways!!! The Winchesters will find a couple nice girls… They don’t have to look like models all the time… Both get married… & have kids.. Show all… Read more »
