"Supernatural" Season 15: Showrunner Andrew Dabb Talks Amara, Sam/Eileen Future

With The CW's Supernatural about to wrap up its series' run on the network after the current 15th season, fans have been throwing around a wide range of theories on what the series-ending season will mean for the Winchchesters – which is understandable, all things considered.

Then again, when you tick off a "certain all-powerful entity" so that He forces you into a position of having to relive 15 years worth of "greatest hits"? Let's just say that Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) are going to be presented with a sea of deadly, disturbing possibilities.

With the series' run well underway, there's one more change ahead for fans: a new night. Starting with March 16th episode "Galaxy Brain", Supernatural moves to Mondays at 8 p.m., serving as a lead-in for Roswell, New Mexico. With a little time to kill before Sam and Dean return for their final run, showrunner Andrew Dabb offered TVLine clues to what's still to come:

● Fans of Amara aka The Darkness (Emily Swallow), take note: God's sis will get brought up-to-speed by Dean, and "we can expect to see her in a few months".

● Fans of budding Sam-Eileen (Shoshannah Stern) romance, though? Yeah… about that… 

"I think the Sam/Eileen relationship will evolve, but this isn't a case where Eileen's going to end up in the back of the Impala, riding around with the guys. She's an independent person, Sam's an independent person…. So I think you're going to see them reach kind of a status quo that makes both of them happy, but maybe not get a rom-com ending, if that makes sense."

Though news of the series' was announced in March 2019, fans of the long-running horror-drama series are still coming to terms with the decision and looking for answers. Padalecki and Ackles did their part to get viewers through the stages of the series-grieving process back in April, taking the stage at VegasCon 2019 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.'"

Supernatural executive producers Robert Singer and Dabb also shared their thoughts after the announcement was officially made:

"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."
