Supernatural 

is an American dark fantasy drama television series created by Eric Kripke. It was first

broadcast on September 13, 2005, on The WB, and subsequently became part of successor The
CW's lineup. Starring Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester and Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester,
the series follows the two brothers as they hunt demons, ghosts, monsters, and other supernatural
beings. The series was produced by Warner Bros. Television, in association with Wonderland Sound
and Vision. Along with Kripke, executive producers have been McG, Robert Singer, Phil
Sgriccia, Sera Gamble, Jeremy Carver, John Shiban, Ben Edlund and Adam Glass. Former
executive producer and director Kim Manners died of lung cancer during production of the fourth
season.[5]
The series was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, and surrounding areas. It was in development
for nearly ten years, as creator Kripke spent several years unsuccessfully pitching it. The pilot was
viewed by an estimated 5.69 million viewers,[6] and the ratings of the first four episodes prompted
The WB to pick up the series for a full season. Originally, Kripke planned the series for three
seasons but later expanded it to five. The fifth season concluded the series' main storyline,[7] and
Kripke departed the series as showrunner.[8] The series continued on for 10 more seasons with new
showrunners, including Sera Gamble, Jeremy Carver, Robert Singer and Andrew Dabb.[9] With
its eleventh season, Supernatural became the longest-running American live-action fantasy TV
series.[10] The series was renewed for a fifteenth and final season that consisted of 20 episodes,[11]
[12]
 and premiered on October 10, 2019.[13] The series concluded on November 19, 2020, with 327
episodes aired.
