The head of the CW channel, which broadcasts the series, assured that the project will exist as long as its main stars - Padalecki and Ackles agree to be filmed. The screen brothers themselves have already thought about a possible finale. Jared offers to kill both characters or at least Sam.

Jensen was more optimistic and described the last scene in the style of Robert Semekis: a crossroads in the American outback, his hero sitting in a car.
