The drama series Supernatural with Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins, seen in South Africa and across Africa on M-Net City (DStv 115) and in South Africa on SABC2, is ending with the upcoming 15th season that will be its last.
That makes Supernatural the longest-running fantasy American TV series in history.
Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins made the announcement late on Friday on social media that the drama series shown on the CW in the United States is coming to an end.
The upcoming 15th season of Supernatural will still have 20 episodes, similar to recent seasons. M-Net City is in the 13th season while SABC2 reached the 11th season.
"Firstly, we would like to thank all the people who have been involved with the show both in front of and behind the camera. For us it has been an experience of a lifetime. The support we have had from both Warner Bros Television and The CW has been incredible," said Robert Singer and Andrew Dabb, Supernatural's executive producers, in a statement.
"We'd like to give special thanks to Jensen, Jared and Misha for making this journey so special. It is now most important to us to give these characters that we love the sendoff they deserve".
Jensen Ackles wrote "Well, it’s official. One more round for the Winchester brothers. Though nothing ever really ends in Supernatural...does it?" with a video that the three Supernatural stars posted on Friday.
In the video, Jensen Ackles says "We just told the crew that though we're very very excited about moving into our 15th season, it will be our last - 15 years of a show that has certainly changed my life, I know it's changed these two guys' life."
"And we just wanted you to hear from us that though we're excited about next year, it will be the finale. The big, grand finale of an institution. I will say this, a little word from Eric Kripke, the creator about this world and these characters, that in a show about family, it is amazing and it is the pride of his life that it became a family. So thank you guys for that."
Jared Padalecki says "We've cried some tears and we'll cry some more, but we're grateful and we're going to work all that emotion into next season."
Misha Collins says "this family is not going anywhere even though the show will come to an end".
Supernatural was created by Eric Kripke and produced by Warner Bros. Television in association with Wonderland Sound and Vision; with Robert Singer, Andrew Dabb, Phil Sgriccia, Jeremy Carver, Eugenie Ross-Leming, and Brad Buckner as executive producers. At its conclusion, it will have produced 327 episodes.
