On March 22, 2019, Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins announced that the show was about to have its swan song (sad pun intended for Supernatural fans). The actors revealed that the show’s upcoming 15th season would be the last.
“We just told the crew that, though we’re very, very excited about moving into our 15th season, it will be our last,” Jensen said in a video announcement. “We wanted you to hear from us that, though we’re excited about next year, it will be the finale, the big grand finale of an institution.”
The cast and crew of the show wanted to assure fans that they would make their final season one of the best for fans and for the arcs of their characters that have been on a journey for over 15 years. Executive Producers Robert Singer and Andrew Dabb said in a statement, “It is now most important to us to give these characters that we love the send-off they deserve.”
