The CW Promising the Final Seven Episodes of “Supernatural” This Coming Fall
The fifteenth and final season of The CW’s “Supernatural” went on a forced hiatus this past March, the result of coronavirus-related shutdowns preventing the final episodes from being finished.
Showrunner Andrew Dabb stated at the time, “We have filmed through episode 18 (of 20), however our visual effects and sound departments have closed because of the outbreak. So, right now, the episodes can’t be finished.”
The good news? The CW is now promising that the final seven episodes of “Supernatural” will air this Fall.
“We already have five episodes in the can,” The CW’s Mark Pedowitz said today during a conference call. “Jared [Padalecki] and Jensen [Ackles] will go back as soon as they’re able to to finish up the last two episodes. We hope that they will be able to start shooting sometime in late summer or fall.”
He added, “And if not, we will then become flexible and rearrange our scheduling.”
Plans could of course change depending on how things play out in the next several months, but for now The CW seems pretty confident that they can get everything finished and ready for consumption by Fall 2020.
We’ll let you know if we hear anything further in the coming months.
“Widow’s Bay” isn’t the only coastal town inundated by the supernatural this summer; Disney+ is gearing up to unleash supernatural comedy-adventure series “The Doomies.”
The animated series will premiere June 26 on Disney+ with 22 half-hour episodes, along with a new short-form series featuring four episodes: “Doug Unfiltered,” “Ghosted By A Ghost,” “Creepy Crepe,” and “What Is That Thing?”
The official synopsis promises all sorts of monster mayhem: “When best friends Bobby and Romy accidentally open a portal to evil, their tranquil coastal town transforms into a hotspot for terrifying creatures of doom. As the ordinary teens navigate this extraordinary mystery, they face off against literal and inner monsters in this epic comedy that combines thrills, chills, and emotional spills.“
The voice cast includes Max Mittelman as Bobby, Madison Calderon as Romy, Noel Gibson as Kim, Jon Bailey as Doug, and Zehra Fazal as Jenny.
“The Doomies” is produced by Academy Award®-nominated studio Xilam Animation for Disney Television Animation and co-created by Andrès Fernandez, Pozla (aka Rémi Zaarour), and Henry Gifford.
Fernandez directs all 22 episodes, and Xilam’s Marc du Pontavice serves as producer.

Coinciding with the series’ debut on Disney+, “The Doomies” was also officially selected to screen in competition at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Film Festival in the TV Films category. The episode “Night of the Fishing Dead” was selected from more than 2,400 submissions and will be screened alongside other official selections from June 21-27.
Look for “The Doomies” later this month.
