Supernatural: The Stars and Creator Want It to
End? No Season Six?
After four seasons,
Supernatural has never been hotter and
it’s already been renewed for season five. So why do the show’s
stars and creator want to call it quits?
Created by Eric Kripke,
Supernatural revolves
around the Winchester brothers and their ongoing battle against
demons, and any other hellion you can think of. Older brother Dean
(Jensen Ackles) followed in the footsteps of his demon-hunting
father (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) while Sam (Jared Padalecki) tried to
make a break from the family business and lead a normal life. When
Sam’s girlfriend is killed in a similar manner as his mother and
the brothers’ dad disappears, the good-looking heroes set out on a
crusade of their own.
Recurring characters are played by Jim Beaver, Genevieve Cortese,
Misha Collins, Katie Cassidy, Lauren Cohan, Samantha Ferris, Julie
McNiven, Nicki Aycox, Alona Tal, Samantha Smith, Sterling K. Brown,
Chad Lindberg, Robert Wisdom, Charles Malik Whitfield, Adrianne
Palicki, Fredric Lehne, and Colin Ford.
With the series’ mythos and world fully established, why would the
show’s creator, Eric Kripke, and the stars want to end the series?
Well, Kripke says that he’s always envisioned the Winchester boys’
story as a five year arc and intends to keep it that way. He
recently told
Entertainment Weekly, “Despite what the
network and the studio may or may not want, I don’t have more than
five seasons of story.”
Though it’s unlikely that the CW execs will be ready to let one of
their most successful shows go, they may not have a choice. Kripke
says, “I certainly would be willing to make sure there are enough
villains and heroes around to continue a new story line, and I
would be around to answer a few questions — that’s it. I’m outta
here. There’s no way I’m doing season six.”

VoteIf that were to happen,
Supernatural might have to shift
focus to Bobby, a demon, the angels, or some new characters. The
contracts for Kripke, Ackles, and Padalecki all expire after next
season and the actors aren’t planning to stay either.
While the actors love the show and their work, they’re tired of the
grind. Ackles says, “We don’t live at home. We don’t sleep in our
own beds. Our families aren’t here. Our friends aren’t here. Our
girlfriends aren’t here. To do it for another five years, or
whatever, I don’t know if I could handle it.”
Padalecki agrees, “I enjoy working, but what’s the point? Do I just
want to keep on doing photo shoots and work so I can get more
famous so I can do even more photo shoots and work and fly to more
places to do more press? …I get sick of talking about myself.” The
actor says he doesn’t want the show to become cheesy, with the
characters becoming too old to realistically do their jobs. He
says, “I think I’d rather leave [the viewers] wanting more than get
to the point where they boo you off the stage.”
CW President Dawn Ostroff says that, if the show continues to be
popular, she’d certainly want the show to go on. She feels however
that it’s too early to address making that a reality. In truth, the
small network might even not have the resources to make that
happen. As Ackles says, “They’d have to back up a Brinks
truck.”
While last week’s episode culminated in a huge fight between the
two brothers, you can expect next season’s finale to be even
bigger. Kripke is planning to end it all with the battle to end all
battles, one between heaven and hell. Ironically, that little fight
sounds about as hard as it’s going to be to get a sixth season of
Supernatural.
