'Supernatural' End A "Community Decision;" Not Influenced by CW, WB TV [VIDEO]

Less than two weeks after it was announced that the CW's Supernatural will hang up its monster-hunter spurs with its upcoming 15th season, fans of the long-running horror-drama series are still coming to terms with the decision and looking for answers. Series stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are doing their part to get viewers through this stage of the series-grieving process, taking the stage at VegasCon 2019 this past weekend to explain that the decision to end the series was a "community decision" and was not influenced by the network or the studio.

Check out the moment for yourselves in the video below, starting around the 28:35 mark:

"It wasn't an easy decision. It was months and months, if not years, of discussion between he and I, between the rest of the cast, between the crew, between our writers, between our producers, between the studio, between the network. Nobody wanted to see this show fizzle out.

I think that it was everyone wanting to do the biggest service to the show that we could by going out strong. It just seemed like the writing was kind of on the wall as to when that was happening. Everybody kind of felt that it was coming soon, and so it was just taking that leap of faith of going like, 'Well guys, let's get out the paint and paint that finish line because what we've accomplished is unlike any other.'"

Executive producers Robert Singer and Andrew Dabb also shared their thoughts after the announcement:

"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. 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 send off they deserve."
