No a huge surprise here, but the CW has decided to commission another series of the rather excellent Supernatural. Yaaaaay!
So now for the bigger surprise, it seems show creator Eric Kripke will be stepping down from the day-to-day running of Supernatural. Sacrebleu!
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Eric said, “I’m looking at this season as the [last] chapter in this particular story. That doesn’t mean there can’t be a new story. Buffy did it. The X-Files did it. You close a chapter on a big mythology storyline and then you begin a new one." When asked for confirmation of his involvement in a possible sixth season, the show supremo evaded the question: “I don’t know. I’m going to cross that bridge when I get to it."
Although Kripke had always maintained the show would only run for 5 seasons it seems good audience ratings and the positive buzz surrounding it was enough to convince network bosses to renew the series. Close sources say the show's executive producer Sera Gamble is set to pick up the mantel from where Kripke left off.
Here at Geeky Girl HQ, we’re big fans of Supernatural and think Kripke is a genius, but when Joss Whedon stepped down from the day-to-day running of the Buffster, the show's writing, director and production stayed great. Supernatural is one of those classy affairs and we think everything will be handled with aplomb.
Catch Supernatural Season 5 on Living TV, Thursdays at 9pm.
