Supernatural's Final Episodes: Everything We Know

With Supernatural nearing the end of its 15-season run, TVLine is taking stock of everything we know about the CW drama's final seven episodes (premiering this fall). Read on for intel on the series finale, upcoming returning guest stars, a special holiday installment and much more!

THE HOLIDAYS

The show's first episode back is a meta installment "that allows you to see basically every holiday you want Sam and Dean to celebrate," co-showrunner Andrew Dabb told EW.com. "Carving jack-o'-lanterns, carving the turkey, birthdays, it's all there."

THE RETURNS, PART 2

Matt Cohen, who has portrayed young John Winchester and briefly the archangel Michael, came back — but this time, he took the reins behind the scenes: The actor directed Episode 15, titled "Gimme Shelter."

THE SERIES FINALE, PART 2

Talking about the series ender at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Jared Padalecki said, "I feel like Sam and Dean find some version of peace. Whether or not that's alive or dead, or if Amara possesses me or whatever the situation is, I feel like they find more peace than when the season starts."

THE WEE WINCHESTERS

As TVLine previously reported, an upcoming episode will feature young versions of Dean (played by The Haunting of Hill House's Paxton Singleton) and Sam (When Calls the Heart's Christian Michael Cooper) embarking on one of their first hunts together.

THE SERIES FINALE

"Episode 19 feels kind of like the season finale for [Season] 15, and Episode 20 feels like the series finale," Jensen Ackles shared during a Zoom chat. The actor also revealed that "some adjustments" have been made to the final two installments to "accommodate a pandemic."

THE REVIVAL?

The end might not be the end, after all. "It's a long journey that I don't think is ever going to be over," Ackles said at the Television Critics Association press tour in August 2019. "I think we're just going to go away for a while. For how long, I don't know." He then clarified, "I'm not ever ready to close doors or burn bridges. I think that's foolish. Am I saying there's something in the works? No. Am I open to having a conversation in the future? What's the harm in that?"

THE RETURNS

Among those reprising their roles in the final episodes: Robert Wisdom as the angel Uriel; Felicia Day as both Apocalypse World's Charlie and our world's Charlie; Jake Abel as Michael/Adam; and Emily Swallow as Amara.

RETURN DATE

Mark your calendars: The delayed final seven episodes will unspool this fall on The CW, beginning Thursday, Oct. 8 at 8/7c.

END DATE

The grand finale, titled "Carry On," is set to air Thursday, Nov. 19 as part of a two-hour event. At 8/7c, The CW will air the retrospective Supernatural: The Long Road Home, followed by the final episode of the series at 9 pm. "We're going to take the negative of what happened [with the production delay] and turn it into a positive," CW president Mark Pedowitz told Variety. "We've put together a fabulous tribute to 15 years of the series, which they all participated in.... We plan to make an event out of it."

SO IT BEGINS...

Production on the show's final two episodes resumed in Vancouver on Aug. 18, the SPN Tape Ball account shared via an Instagram photo of stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki in the Men of Letters bunker. 

THE PENULTIMATE

The show's second-to-last episode is titled "Inherit the Earth," exec producer Jim Michaels revealed on Twitter.
