Filming for Supernatural's final two episodes wrapped up in July, with the series resuming on The CW starting October 8.
The final seven episodes of Supernatural's 15th and concluding season are set to air this October. Initially slated for an earlier release, production was paused due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The first five episodes were completed before shutdowns began in March, sparking fan speculation about the fate of this iconic WB series.
While the show has vanquished countless vampires and demons on screen, real-world challenges proved more formidable. Production halted amid widespread lockdowns, creating uncertainty. However, co-showrunner and executive producer Robert Singer recently confirmed that filming for the last two episodes resumed and concluded in July, thanks to eased restrictions in British Columbia.
The series will now premiere its remaining episodes on The CW on October 8, culminating in a finale on Thursday, November 19. The season, originally planned for 20 episodes, aired only 13 before the interruption, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the resolution.
What are The CW and Warner Bros. saying?
The production stoppage was unforeseen. Following the 13th episode, updates were scarce until official assurances came from The CW and Warner Bros. The networks committed to delivering the ending fans deserve, with creators stating they are "fully intending to come back and finish the series." Executive producer Andrew Dabb emphasized, "it's all about 'when,'" confirming resumption without a specific date—until now, with October 8 locked in.
Looking ahead for the stars?
Jared Padalecki fans have reason to celebrate: post-Supernatural, he'll star in the Walker, Texas Ranger reboot on The CW, debuting in January 2021. Meanwhile, Jensen Ackles joins Amazon's The Boys. The leads' next projects ensure their momentum continues beyond the finale.
Mark your calendars for The CW: Swamp Thing premieres October 6, followed by the international series Devils starring Patrick Dempsey on October 7.
Will production changes impact the story?
Showrunners confirm that adjustments to Season 15, including filming the final episodes in July rather than March and subsequent edits, have not altered the core plot, characters, or mythology. Andrew Dabb assured, "nothing was 'fundamentally different' in the later episodes." The narrative picks up seamlessly from the hiatus.
In summary
Supernatural's 15th and final season resumes October 8 on The CW, delivering the last seven of 20 episodes. Production wrapped in July, with no storyline disruptions from pandemic-related changes. Stay tuned for the epic conclusion.
