Supernatural Season Nine Gets A New Premiere Date – 7 Days Earlier!!
In all my years covering “Supernatural,” I’ve never had to adjust the countdown clock downward. Only upward! Today in conjuction with The CW presentation at the TCAs, a press release went out with the new revised schedule. Supernatural season nine now premieres on October 8th! The original date was October 15th, so seven days early is a real gift!
We will be revising the countdown clock. Seventy days all of a sudden seems a little better huh? Considering it was 77 this morning. Below is the press release via The CW.
