"Supernatural" Season 15: Andrew Dabb Reminds Us This Is "The End"; Misha Collins Goes "Kansas", Kicks Us In Our "Feels"

Sam (Jared Padalecki), Dean (Jensen Ackles), Castiel (Misha Collins), and Jack (Alexander Calvert) may just have a plan to take down Chuck aka God (Rob Benedict) when The CW's Supernatural returns for its final run of episodes starting Monday, March 16. When you're trying to pull off a job that big against "The Almighty", you're going to need some friendly faces – and run into some deadly foes. Which means our "Anti-God Squad" can look forward to welcoming back Robert Wisdom, Genevieve Padalecki, and Danneel Ackles – which should make for some very interesting on-screen reunions.

But before anyone starts slow-dancing to Peaches & Herb's "Reunited",  showrunner, writer, and executive producer Andrew Dabb is here to bring all of that to a screeching halt with a crushing, punch-to-"the-feels" tweet to remind us of where this is all heading…

Not looking to waste a moment to kick us in "the feels" when we're down, Collins retweeted Dabb's post – adding a little Kansas heartbreak:

Now if only someone had a program that could deciper the top half of the line that got cut off…

Now to do our part to keep the tears flowin', here's a look at the promo and overview for next episode, "Galaxy Brain" – featuring the return of Kim Rhodes' Sheriff Jody Mills. Following that, a trip down "heartbreak lane" as we look back on when the news was first announced:

"Supernatural" season 15, episode 12 "Galaxy Brain": KIM RHODES RETURNS AS SHERIFF JODY MILLS – Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) respond to a frantic call and together along with Castiel (Misha Collins), Jack (Alexander Calvert) and Jody (guest star Kim Rhodes), assist in an extraordinary and heartbreaking rescue.

Though news of the series' was announced in March 2019, Padalecki and Ackles did their part to get viewers through the stages of the grieving process a month later, taking the stage at VegasCon 2019 to explain that the decision to end the series was a "community decision" and not influenced by the network or the studio.

Check out the moment for yourselves 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.'"

– Jensen Ackles

Here's a look back at the original Instagram announcement from Padalecki, Ackles, and Misha Collins; followed by a personal post from Collins:

Supernatural executive producers Robert Singer and Andrew Dabb shared their thoughts on the decision:

"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."

The CW's Supernatural stars Padalecki as Sam Winchester, Ackles as Dean Winchester, Collins as Castiel, Mark Pellegrino as Nick, and Alexander Calvert as Jack. Executive producers include Singer, Dabb, Phil Sgriccia, Jeremy Carver, Ross-Leming, Buckner, and Berens.
