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.
