Supernatural ran for 15 seasons on The CW, however viewers are nonetheless looking forward to extra of the Winchester brothers and their antics. And collection star Jensen Ackles has the proper response to revival hopes. Though Supernatural ended again in 2020 — with main characters dying within the collection finale, no much less — the present stays closely watched and mentioned.
Throughout an look on The Tonight Present Starring Jimmy Fallon, Ackles unpacked the collection’ enduring reputation, crediting streaming for preserving it alive. He additionally addressed the potential for a Supernatural reboot or revival ever taking place, admitting that the solid of The CW collection beloved making the present. For that purpose, a return appears to be on the desk:
“I mean, look, it’s always hanging out there. I think there’s a reason we did it for 15 years. We enjoyed it. We enjoyed each other. We enjoyed the story, the characters. It was hard to hang it up, but I don’t know that we ever hang it up in Supernatural.”
Whereas Ackles’ phrases do not assure Supernatural season 16 or another continuation of the collection will occur, they’re an amazing signal for viewers hoping to see extra of the collection’ world. In addition they converse to the guts of The CW present, as Ackles is true that they by no means actually “hang it up.” Supernatural finds a option to proceed via main character deaths and world-altering twists all through its run, so it will probably definitely get previous what occurs within the collection finale.
They Recommend The Forged Would Be Open To A Return
Their enthusiasm lends itself to a possible reboot, as it might show a enjoyable endeavor for each the actors and the followers. Moreover, as Ackles notes, Supernatural by no means actually appears to pack it up for good. This implies retconning season 15’s ending would not be completely out of character for the present, nor would throwing in some wacky alternate universe twist to reset what occurs.
Our Take On Supernatural Returning For Season 16 Or A Reboot
It is An Thrilling Prospect, Even After The Winchesters
Whereas The Winchesters’ failures do not bode properly for the collection’ franchise future, a revival with the unique solid would possible fare a lot better. Regardless of some fatigue as Supernatural reached its later seasons, I am not against a reboot someday sooner or later. We’re getting far sufficient from the primary present to warrant one, and the universe has built-in methods to deliver the characters again.
Ackles’ openness to the thought is thrilling, and his response hints at how Supernatural might return: by embracing the methods it has gone ahead previously. Solely time will inform if the Winchesters’ return ever occurs — and if it is a worthwhile pursuit — nevertheless it appears to be a risk.
