Jensen and Jared Definitely In for a Likely 'Supernatural' Season 6
Monday, June 01, 2009

Supernatural fans have reason to be excited today. Even though the premiere of season 5 is far away, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles recently appeared at a European convention where they gave fans a lot of hope for Supernatural season 6.

Some people worried that a sixth season would result in a completely different show, but Jensen confirmed to the Coventry Telegraph that he and Jared both have six-year contracts for the show, meaning if CW president Dawn Ostroff picks up Supernatural for season 6, Sam and Dean will both be in it.

That's the good news, but here's the not-so-good news. While Jensen and Jared have six-year contracts, creator Eric Kripke only has a five-year contract, so if the network does renew Supernatural beyond Kripke's original five-year plan, there are two options. The first is for the network to shell out some big bucks to sign him to a new contract. The second is to continue the show without Kripke.

If you think that's jumping the gun, think again. In the interview, Jared also mentioned that his "best guess" is that the show will be renewed once again. The increased ratings for season 4 plus the promise of being paired with new blood in the form of The Vampire Diaries makes Supernatural a more solid prospect than the network's other aging shows like One Tree Hill and Smallville.

What do you think? Is season 6 worth it if we get Jensen and Jared but no Kripke? Personally, I might be OK with it so long as they promoted one of the other great writers like Sera Gamble or Jeremy Carver.

Flo note: I'm torn... some of the greatest episodes have been written and directed by Kripke but he has been doing a good job of "sharing the wealth" with some of the other writers so maybe it'll be okay. I'm excited by the prospect of season six and hope that with or without Kripke the quality of the scripts stay high, crisp and funny.

I'm kinda like you, Flo. I would love the idea of a season six with the Winchester boys, but only if it continues at its current excellance. While I know there are good writers working on the show, they are under Kripe's watchful eye and I'm afraid without him, the quality might suffer.

Then again.....since SN is Kripe's "baby" and he has nurtured it to its zenith, I can't help but feel he would be reluctant to let it crawl away from him. I hope they can convince him to continue for a sixth and final season. Much of that, however, will depend on if he can segue this apocalytic story into its next logical phase.

That's a pretty tall order (but my money's on Kripe!).

Anyway.....my 2¢ worth.

Thanks for the article, Flo.

I think it's great news and the only reason Supernatural has done as well as it has is due to the master himself. Sick bastard! (She says with lots of love) HA! So if it goes to a 6th season I'm sure they will ask Kripke to stay for it as well.
