WHAT DO WE KNOW?

Shit is going down. When you

already did the apocalypse in

Season Five, you really have to pull

out all the stops when it comes to

storyboarding your final season ten

years later. Supernatural seems to

know that, judging by the fact that it

set up something truly catastrophic

with its Season 14 finale (warning:

spoilers for said episode ahead).

The episode left us seeing souls

rising from hell, with flashes of past

monsters returning to wreak havoc.

All the spirits, creatures and demons

the Winchesters thought they had

banished – the Woman in White,

the Killer Clown, Bloody Mary – are

back, bringing the brothers full

circle. Welcome to the end.

So now, with the dawn of

Season 15, Sam and Dean are back

where they started, with evil they

previously defeated walking the

Earth. The specifics of the season’s

storyline are obviously being kept

quiet, but we can probably expect

a whole load of cameos from past

players. The new season will consist

of just 20 episodes, as opposed to

its usual 22-24, but that’s more

than enough time to tie up any

loose ends.

In the Season 14 digital featurette

‘The Winchesters Mythology: The

Choices We Make’, show runner

Andrew Dabb said: “God was not

kidding when he said it was the end

of this story. And by the end of this

story, it means the end of the world.

The question of what that looks like,

the question of how Sam and Dean

deal with that, I think those are the

big things that we’re going to explore

going into Season 15.”

WHAT DO WE WANT

TO HAPPEN?

We want Sam and Dean to re-banish

all the demons they’ve ever fought

before settling down for a nice,

quiet life of anything but demon

hunting. Sam would return to

university and get a degree in

something random like art history,

while Dean would open his own

themed roadside dinner, with

nothing but human customers.

WHAT DO WE THINK

WILL HAPPEN?

All signs point to Sam or Dean, or

Sam and Dean, dying a horrible,

horrible death. For good this time. If

Supernatural only knows one thing,

it’s how to kill off the Winchesters.

WHY WILL WE MISS IT?

Supernatural has been our staple

viewing since it premiered in 2005.

After spending almost 15 years with

Sam and Dean (and indeed with

Padalecki and Ackles), there will

honestly be an Impala-shaped hole

in our hearts.
