Supernatural EP Shared Thoughts On A Revival, And I Love That He Namedropped Buffy The Vampire Slayer While Discussing His Idea

by

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but reflect on the remarkable journey of “Supernatural” spanning an astounding 15 seasons. The passion and enthusiasm for this series remained undiminished, suggesting that it could have easily persisted for a few more seasons had Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki been inclined to continue their extraordinary roles. Regardless of the paths they choose in their careers, their association with “Supernatural” is destined to be the defining aspect of their legacy.

Given how often classic TV series are remade, rebooted, or revived, one might ponder if something similar could happen in this case. According to Andrew Dabb, the showrunner for the last three seasons, it’s not a matter of if, but rather when this might occur. Dabb stated…

It seems to me that despite our best efforts to provide a satisfactory conclusion, shows like the X-Files, Buffy, or Supernatural have a tendency to resurface years later. Perhaps in 10 or 15 years, someone who grew up watching these series might be in charge at Warner Bros and decide to revive them. Given this possibility, it’s not difficult to imagine such a scenario.

The man makes a valid observation: Buffy the Vampire Slayer is being revived, which seems surprising given its enduring popularity and Sarah Michelle Gellar’s association with the show. It seems that anything can be brought back in this day and age.

The final episode of ‘Supernatural’ ended on a somewhat contentious note, but according to Andrew Dabb, it doesn’t rule out the possibility of more exciting journeys for Sam and Dean. Given that God is a potential character, there are no boundaries when it comes to storytelling. There are still numerous supernatural creatures like monsters, angels, and demons that could drive future narratives. In fact, Dabb spontaneously proposed a potential opening scene for a new series. Dabb envisioned…

In this rephrased version, let me express the scenario as follows: “Morning finds Sam and Dean stirring, only to discover Jack in their midst, battered and bruised. He pleads for help, setting the stage for their adventure. Essentially, it’s a mystery: Who could have harmed the Almighty? Our protagonists, Sam and Dean, are on the case, but the rest remains uncertain. As for the beginning, it might not be perfect, and that’s the thing about ideas – sometimes they’re best left as ideas.

Although other approaches might be more effective or less so, that kind of introduction undeniably piques curiosity. Whether a reboot would succeed or fail would largely depend on the subsequent events, shedding light on the situation at hand.

It’s highly likely that Dabb is right in his initial assumption – the series ‘Supernatural’ will come back in some shape or form at some point. The involvement of the two main actors and whether reviving it is a wise choice are questions that can only be answered once someone decides to bring it back. However, given that it has only been five years since the show ended, it seems that the day for its return might still be a ways off.
