Supernatural

All good things must come to an end and Supernatural  is no exception.  The series has attracted a solid fan following and has performed consistently in the ratings, but sooner or later, fans will have to bid farewell to the good-looking Winchester boys.  The question is: when will it end?

Supernatural, which stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, is presently in its third season, finishing off the remaining new episodes after the two-month hiatus that was caused by the writers' strike.  After that, fans still have 22 new episodes to look forward to, knowing that the series has already been given an early renewal by The CW for a fourth season.  While the paranormal series may still come back for another run, the fifth season may also be its last.

Ending Supernatural in the fifth season is something anticipated by show creator Eric Kripke.  “Yes, there is certainly more to explore,” Kripke said.  “But we sort of have this five-year map.  And Jared and Jensen like the idea of a five-year map because we work them so hard.  It's possible, but I don't know…But a lot of these issues are beyond my control at the corporate level with ratings, etc.  But my personal feeling is that I still want to go out in year five.  It's better to go out strong and on top than to be 8 or 9 years into a piece of sh*t.  You want conclusions… you want to end it.  It's an epic story and epic stories deserve a good ending.”

Of course, only time will tell.  Closing the curtains on the series in its fifth season isn't something definite at this point and a lot can still happen in a span of two years.
