While the show was originally designed by Kripke as a five season arc, he’s taking a “wait and see” approach to any future installments of the series. If he feels that there’s more stories to tell at the end of this year, a sixth season isn’t out of the question.
When asked what fans could expect from the latest season, Kripke had some interesting nuggets for the fans:
– Rachel Miner will be playing Meg and we’ll be seeing both Rufus and Ellen again soon.
– Episode 4 of this season will be set five years in the future and is described by Kripke as his “28 Days Later episode”.
– This year will be the most optimistic season of the show ever. After spending the majority of last season tearing the Winchester family apart, this season will bring them back together.
Look for the fifth season of Supernatural to begin on September 10 on the CW network.
