Will SUPERNATURAL Return For A Ninth Season?
CW network president Mark Pedowitz reveals that the future of Supernatural still hasn't been decided, but he does offer an idea of when fans should expect to hear the news of a possible renewal and confirms that Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki have already signed up for more.
At this point, it's inevitable that Arrow will return for a second season, but what does the future hold for long-running CW series, Supernatural? Talking at the Television Critics Association winter press tour earlier today, CW network president Mark Pedowitz had this to say about the possible return of the show for a ninth season. "No determination’s been made. We are pleased with how Wednesday night completely has worked out with Arrow being a bona fide hit and Supernatural actually gaining viewers back again. I think creatively the show’s in a great place and there’s always a good shot that [a renewal] could happen."
Series creator Eric Kripke only ever intended that Supernatural last five seasons, but despite now being on its eighth, the show still has a dedicated fan base. So, how long will those same fans have to wait for news on a possible renewal? "I would like to see our schedule come back on [with new episodes] next week, which we start on Monday and over the next couple of weeks we’ll make the determination on what will come back for next fall." However, he did confirm that the studio already has Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki "locked in" for future seasons, so it seems a fair bet that it will indeed return in the Fall. Stay tuned for updates!
