Supernatural already has at least one easy way to return for another season without retconning the original ending. Centering on brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) Winchester as they travel the country hunting monsters, Supernatural developed a ionate fan base who continue to the show and its cast. Supernatural ran for an impressive fifteen seasons, finally coming to an end in 2020 with a definitive, if divisive, conclusion. Almost immediately after Supernatural's controversial series finale, fans began speculating about whether the show could ever return. 4s1u2n

Throughout its fifteen seasons, Supernatural delivered some incredibly memorable and unique episodes, but one episode in particular stands out even for the show's stars. At its heart, Supernatural is the story of two brothers, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) Winchester, who travel around the country hunting monsters. Eventually, the stakes become apocalyptic, but in the beginning, Supernatural basically delivered standalone miniature horror movies each week. As the show went on, however, it shook up Supernatural's established formula and began experimenting more with other genres.

Supernatural was one of the most exciting shows on television during its 15-season run, and while it was nice to get to spend so much time with the Winchester brothers, the original planned ending for the show could have been even better. Initially premiering in 2005, Supernatural largely sits at the top of the rankings of the best CW shows, and the fact that it produced 327 episodes is incredibly impressive, especially with how the series was able to maintain quite a bit of its viewership during that time.

Supernatural's prequel series, The Winchesters, was short-lived — but it might've stood a better chance if it'd been about a beloved side character instead of Sam and Dean's family. There are many things that went wrong with The Winchesters, leading Supernatural's one-season spinoff to fail. From its inconsistency regarding the original show's lore to its quality issues, the prequel faced many obstacles when it came to winning fans over. The harshest reality, however, was that John and Mary Winchester simply didn't make the most compelling main characters.

With fifteen seasons, it's not surprising that Supernaturalhad some inconsistencies in its own lore and sometimes broke its own timeline. Supernatural began in 2005 as a story following two brothers, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) Winchester, as they traveled across the country hunting monsters. Initially, the series mostly consisted of standalone monster-of-the-week Supernatural episodes, but Supernatural eventually developed a complex mythology of monsters, angels, and demons.

Two of Supernatural's funniest episodes focus on the same character, but his first appearance is also a hilarious addition to the CW series — and it simply doesn't get enough love. Supernatural is known for injecting humor into its monster-of-the-week narratives and high-stakes storylines. And the series does an impressive job of it throughout its 15-season run. Some of the show's most hilarious adventures are the ones that depart from its usual blueprint. In fact,Supernatural is at its best when breaking its formula.

Supernatural ran for an impressive fifteen seasons and also inspired seventeen tie-in novels. Following brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) Winchester as they traveled around the country hunting monsters, Supernatural developed a ionate fan base and became one of the CW's most popular shows. From spin-offs and role-playing games to comic books and novels, the world of Supernatural expanded far beyond the original series. Throughout its earliest seasons,Supernatural told mostly monster-of-the-week stories, as Sam and Dean wrapped up a case over the course of an episode.

The Winchesters had a few flaws, but the worst still stands out far above the rest. Supernatural is America's longest-running live-action fantasy show, so it made sense for multiple Supernatural spinoffs to emerge. The Winchesters had a tough time living up to Supernatural, though. The spinoff was interesting, but The Winchesters' worst flaw far outweighs those of Supernatural, with one still hard to understand, even after a few years.

Supernatural ended in 2020, bringing the saga of the Winchester brothers to a close, but the franchise gave Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) a better ending two years later. Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester traveled across the country "saving people and hunting things" throughout all fifteen seasons of Supernatural, making the show one of the longest-running fantasy series of all time. As one of the CW's most successful shows, Supernatural spawned several live-action spin-off ideas, but only one of these actually made it into production.

A significant portion of Supernatural fans crave more of Dean Winchester, which makes Jensen Ackles' series, Countdown,all the more exciting. Supernatural's fifteen seasons varied in quality, but there's still an almost unanimous agreement that Jensen Ackles continued to shine as a fan favorite all throughout, continuing to apply maximum effort to the Winchester brothers' journey. Though he contributed to the spin-off prequel series, The Winchesters, it wasn't quite the same as having Dean fully back on screen as the lead protagonist. While fans call for a Supernatural season 16, Jensen Ackles is creating great work elsewhere.Jensen Ackles fans will recall his post-Supernatural work on shows like Big Sky, The Boys, and Tracker, though none of these titles allowed him to thrive in the same capacity as the WB/CW classic. Dean Winchester is a towering character to live up to, and while his career would still be a success if it never manages to happen, his Prime Video TV series could be the next best thing. The actor has even shared thoughts about the character that will be exciting to Supernaturallovers.
