The New CW President Talks Supernatural Plus Other SPN News From the TCA Press Tour
Thursday was the CBS/CW turn of the TCA Press Tour, and new CW President Mark Pedowitz had something to say about our still under the radar but popular with fans show. Actually, these words make this Supernatural die hard all happy inside. It seems that Pedowitz wants Supernatural to go beyond season seven.
“It is not intended to be the last season. We’ll see how the ratings go. We hope it keeps going. We’ll take it one step at a time.” He also gave a weird answer about the show’s longevity that runs in the “no duh” territory to fans, but hey, a CW president talking about the show? I’ll take it. ”It’s about the love to two brothers and two really good looking guys. And I think that transcends the supernatural.”
Misha Collins was also at the event and talked to a few media outlets. I’ll post the links here, but the interviews are kind of spoilery. The spoilery details can be found on the spoiler page but for those that want to read the actual interviews, here you go!

UPDATED: Also, even though Jared let this spill at the New Jersey con earlier in July, this week it was announced officially that The CW was indeed extending it’s season episode order of four shows, including “Supernatural.” ”Gossip Girl” is getting 2 additional episodes (24), and “Supernatural,” “Nikita,” and “90210” are getting one each. That means 23 for “Supernatural”! Such faith and love makes me happy.
Alice, after reading all the articles, I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL SEPTEMBER 23RD.
Season 7 sounds like it will be better than season 6, which was a pretty good season, once we got rid of the soulless One, but we will have HellMemoriesSam to deal with, which will give us BigBrotherDean. 🙂
I love BigBrotherDean almost as much as I love SniperDean. 😆
48 mofo days left. Chuckdamn it!
I agree with Misha, its been a long time coming and I’m ready for a new story to begin. I am really looking forward to seeing some brotherly bonding. And really excited to see them hash out the fall of the great wall of Sam. S7 is going to be awesome!
I am loving all the news. I am especially pleased that Mark Pedowitz ‘gets’ the show more in a couple of months at the helm than Ostroff EVER did in her five years as head of the CW.
Do you realize, after One Tree Hill finishes its 13 episode season and SPN continues on to 23 episodes, SPN will be the CW’s longest running drama?
One Tree Hill and Smallville have seasons on SPN overall between the WB and the CW, but just on the CW — SPN will last the longest. Honestly who would have thought that Dawn’s redheaded stepchild of a show would STILL be on the air going into S7?
Its just awesomecakes with a side of awesome sauce. 😀 o/
These are really interesting news! You know, I miss the old Cas, too, but am also excited that Misha (as an actor) gets to explore more facets of the character and perhaps feels challenged in his profession… stretching his acting musles.
One more episode for Supernatural? Wow… I like! 😆
As a loyal fan of the show, I am happy to hear that it seems Pedowitz would like Supernatural to go beyond season seven, however I also hope that they stop before they run out of good scripts… There have been shows around in the past that simply lost in the quality section despite great acting. I’d prefer Supernatural to go off air while it is still one of the best tv shows around…
Gosh, I am soooo curious where this season will go!
Thanks a million, Alice! 😉 , Jas
While I’m not interested in anything Cas related, I am very much looking forward to everything Sam and Dean next season. Sam screwed up by his hell momories and not knowing whats real and my favourite Dean is back! Cant get enough of BigBroDean in all his protective glory. With 23 episodes of awesome on the way I can put up with a few boring Cas episodes as long as he doesnt take over the show like its starting to sound like he is.
Very good news that Mark Pedowitz says he loves the show, but I’m withholding judgment on him until I see if Show gets a budget for some classic rock music. I think the lack of music has harmed the quality of the show these last three years, and I’d like to see him change that.
