The CW President on How Much Longer Supernatural Can Go and the Status of the Spinoff
The last show left to originally air on The WB, Supernatural has had an impressively long life, and is now in Season 9. The show not only continues to be one of the strongest performers on The CW, but its ratings have been up this season from the previous year. Still, just how much longer could the series go?
Asked that question at the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour today, CW's president, Mark Pedowitz, essentially said the show could go on indefinitely - as long as the ratings continue to hold up and the Supernatural team wants to continue.
Said Pedowitz, "As a fan of the show, who’s seen every episode, as long as I’m here and those numbers hold, God bless them. They can go as long as they want."
As for the potential Supernatural spinoff, which will be set up in a backdoor pilot this season, Pedowitz was asked if that was still in play and he replied, "Yes, very much so. It's set in Chicago. Hunters, monsters... The script just came in."
As for whether any of the main Supernatural characters would appear in the spinoff, which will be centered around new characters, Pedowitz said, "In the spinoff episode, they'd be in it. Whether they're in the series... For me, for spinoffs to work, you have to stand them on their own two legs, so you can only do those crossovers when the time is right, like we did with The Originals. We didn't see Michael Trevino's character, Tyler, until the seventh or eighth episode. By that time, the show was standing up on its own two legs."
Supernatural showrunner Jeremy Carver chatted with TVGuide.com about exactly how Dean plans to pull off his revenge. Plus: He tells us what's next for Castiel (Misha Collins) now that he has his grace back, what Gadreel's real intentions are and more.
What can you tell me about who Gadreel really is and what his intentions are? Carver: Well, we introduced one element of who he was... in terms of having been the guard at the Garden of Eden. He let the serpent in and made one enormous mistake that had him thrown into prison — angel jail, if you will. So, we thought the angel that Metatron exploits in Episode 9 is an angel who has been locked away for a millennia and who is probably desperate to reclaim his name and his image. That he may be doing so in not the best way will be his cross to bear. He's an interesting guy who we're only going to learn more and more about as the season progresses.
Castiel stole another (evil!) angel's grace. Will we see consequences of having a grace that isn't his? Carver: First off, by having his grace again and being an angel, Cas is going to find himself back in the fray in a heavier way than he maybe even thought. And he's going to have to face certain decisions sooner than later that involve the angel war that is going on. He will be heavily influenced by his time spent as a human. In terms of having another angel's grace in him, it's something he's not necessarily focused on, but it's something that he may have to deal with in the future.
How will Cas' time as a human change him and his outlook going into the war? Carver: We deal with it rather directly in an episode coming up, so I don't want to take words out of his mouth. But I just have to say that it's impossible for Cas to live his life as an angel the same way as before having been a human. There are lessons and feelings that he had as a human that absolutely influence the decisions he makes as an angel today, not always to the best and not always for the worst. But he is a forever-changed angel.
Are there any standalone episodes coming up you can tease? Carver: We have an episode [airing Jan. 28] where we finally get an answer to where Garth [DJ Qualls] has been. We're going to have an episode where the boys are working a case that seems to have been hijacked by The Ghostfacers. We are going to have a few episodes that dive into some really juicy history regarding the Men of Letters and we're going to meet some great overall characters that were associated with the Men of Letters back in the day.
You've previously mentioned that the introduction of Cain [Timonthy Omundsen] in Episode 11 was going to inspire a new story line this season. Can you expand on that? Carver: He's a fascinating character with a fascinating past, and we put something of a twist on what is considered to be... known history ... He's a wonderful character and he does sprout some wonderful mythology for us to be dealing with as the season continues.
Is it going to be tied into the war for Heaven? Carver: I think we're going to see everything, all these different strains, starting to be tied together as the season progresses.

tara, shoe20, beastfan, napoliWhat did y'all think of that last scene with Sam and Dean last night? I don't want to say anything in case you guys haven't seen it yet, but I wanted to get your thoughts on it. For some reason the spoiler box isn't working for me so SPOILER STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN 9x12. SPOILER FOR 9x12 I wasn't happy with the way it ended between Sam and Dean because basically Sam told Dean they aren't really brothers anymore. I understand why Sam is upset because of not only what Dean did but because Dean doesn't seem to understand what he did was wrong. Dean should have been honest with Sam. What's taking Dean so long to apologise? I understand why Dean chose to have the angel possess Sam and I don't see what he did as abusive. Dean wanted to save Sam but it was wrong to continue to lie to Sam about the possession. Kevin paid for Dean's mistake and even though it saved Sam this is eating Dean up. Dean should have never allowed to Gadreel to convince him to send Cas away. Cas was in a vulnerable position and could have easily been killed on his own. Dean should have picked up that the angel possessing Sam was no good because he kept asking Dean to lie to Sam and he forced him to send Cas away. I know it was an honest mistake on Dean's part but instead of Dean just recognising that he made a mistake and moving forward with Sam and Cas to restore Heaven Dean has decided to avenge Kevin's death. Dean ends up taking up with Crowley which is another mistake because Crowley ends up tricking Dean and Tara ends up getting killed. In 9x11 Cain gave up killing and being vengeful and in 9x12 the Reverend chose peace with humans over avenging his wife's death. Cain lost his love and the Reverend lost his wife. This should be a warning to Dean that no good will come of his quest for revenge and that he should move forward and find peace. In 9x12 Sam was ready to give up his life while Cas was extracting grace from him but Cas stopped short because he didn't want Sam to die. I see this as a parallel to what Dean did. In both cases the choice was taken away from Sam but in neither case was the intent malicious nor abusive. I know the brothers will eventually make peace so I'm not too concerned with the way the episode ended.

napoli Thanks for responding. I agree with what you said & understand your points, but sometimes I get so fed up with Sam. I feel like Dean loves Sam more than Sam loves Dean. If you think back on times over the years Sam has been the one who wants to just give up on life and on his brother while although not always the best decisions, Dean will do anything he can to save his brother. Dean loves other people & has friends, but he will always put Sam first & has. Of course now those decisions have had major consequences & Dean is going to have to live with them. It just killed me to hear Sam say that to Dean! That's the most hurtful thing he could've ever said to him! No I don't agree with the choices Dean has made, but he loved his brother & didn't want to lose him. Like you said it wasn't done out of malice. Should he have told Sam the truth? Absolutely! Was he too trusting of Gadreel? Yes! But we know Dean, Sam is his weakness and he will do whatever it takes to keep him safe and put him first, even if it meant sending Cass away. The only way Dean thinks he can make things right right now is making Gadreel pay for betraying him and killing Kevin. You know as well as I do Dean doesn't know the first thing about finding peace! I don't think he'd even know where to start! He's always ready for a quick fix and doesn't think about the consequences of his actions which is what happened with Kevin. I'm scared to see what's going to happen with him now that he's taken on the mark of Cain. He did warn him that whoever has it takes on a terrible burden. I know they'll work things out too, it's just always painful to see them when they're at odds.

I know they'll work things out too, it's just always painful to see them when they're at odds. ***SPOILER*** I think it would be easier for Sam to understand Dean if Dean wasn't always undermining him. When Dean killed Amy, Sam's childhood friend the kitsune who had begun killing again in order to save her son, it was a slap in the face to Sam. It showed that Dean doesn't trust Sam's judgement. Amy had promised she wouldn't kill anymore yet Dean killed her anyways. Then later because Benny, the vampire, helped save Dean from Purgatory Dean gave him a pass. It was as though Dean was trusting Benny over Sam. I know it sounds like I'm dumping on Dean but really I'm not. I get why Dean reacts impulsively and has a hard time trusting. Given all the crap they have seen and that he has been through it's surprising how either of them function at all! I loved the episode Bad Boys because it showed once again how much Dean loves Sam and how much he sacrificed to save him. It's hard for Dean as the big brother (well actually Dean is more a father figure to Sam) who has always had so much responsibility from such a young age to change. As much as Dean loves Sam he still needs to treat him as an equal. I have no doubt that the boys will work it out!

As much as Dean loves Sam he still needs to treat him as an equal. I have no doubt that the boys will work it out! I think Dean started having trust issues with Sam when Sam trusted Ruby over him. Look how well that turned out. And as far as the Benny thing goes I could see why he trusted him at that time more than Sam and gave him a pass. Benny was the one who fought side by side with him and helped him get out of Purgatory while Sam basically left him there. He never tried to look for him which honestly really pissed me off because Sam was written out of character then. We saw what happened to him & what he was willing to do when Dean went to hell for him! So that SL never made sense to me to begin with. I guess I'll give him a pass on that one, but that explains why Dean did trust Benny a "vampire" over Sam. Which also made Dean "written" out of character too! I loved "Bad Boys" too! He has pretty much raised Sam and has sacrificed alot for him. He was just a kid himself. They're both really emotionally damaged & it is a wonder they can function! You know maybe that's why Dean is so hard on Sam sometimes and is so protective. It's because he's always looked after him since he was a kid and it's really the only thing he knows how to do. He's lost everyone else. He feels like without Sam he has nothing to live for. They just break your heart! Gosh I love my boys! As dysfunctional as they are, there's no one else like them! Talking about how Sam screwed up & Dean being co-dependent made me think of this scene when they got themselves admitted into the hospital. Listen how the doctor describes Dean! It's also funny that for once they're being honest with everyone about what they do!

Really, I love Crowley! Can we get a full episode only to him? How can they make an evil character so great that I want to see him over and over? You know, I thought that Cain thing was beyond weird. Not that I didn't enjoy the episode and I appreciated the parallel between Cain & Abel and Sam & Dean, but I thought the story was jumbled. So Cain is such a bad ass that even Crowley fears him, he trained the Knights of Hell and, in the end, he's one of the good guys? And the transition between all those things happened so fast that I didn't have time to absorb it or to really root for Cain. The spin off will be about him, yes? Anyway, it was a good episode, but I thought too much happened too fast and it happened only to introduce Cain. wednesday knows me. I don't like to feel manipulated by the writers. Apart from the last scene, I didn't like this week's episode. A whole episode with Garth and I didn't feel it. The scene on the barn was so meh... Mommy Werewolf talking and talking and talking reminded me of that scene on “Indiana Jones” where the guy does intricate evolutions with a sword and Jones just goes and shots him. If you're going to kill someone, just kill it. Why so much talking? It pained me to see Sam saying those things to Dean, but if you think about he deserved it. It's not the first time he doesn't trust Sam with the truth and doesn't take his will in consideration. I understand what you guys mean with Dean loving more than Sam, but I don't see it that way. It's just that the dynamics of each character is different from the other. Sam looks at Dean and sees his big brother, someone to look up to, but that can be very annoying some times. Dean looks at Sam and sees the little boy he had to protect his whole life. He doesn't know what else to do with his life besides protecting Sam. It might seem like Dean loves more, but I don't think that's the case.
