First Shot After Lunch: Supernatural Family Says Goodbye and Thank You

The cast and crew are still saying their good-byes on this last day of filming Supernatural.

#ThankYouSupernatural is trending on Twitter all over the world as so many send messages about what Supernatural means to them. We captured the cast and creative teams’ goodbyes from last night and earlier today in “First Shot of the Day: Supernatural Family Starts to Say Goodbye.” The importance of this day continues to prompt an outpouring of love, though.

Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester) shared a very emotional message, as he prepared to say goodbye to Sam.

Well, here goes… I write this as I head to my last day of #Supernatural. My last day with #SamWinchester. Obviously, my head is spinning and my emotions are stratospheric, but there’s still a bit of time left on the clock. Thank y’all SO MUCH for the incredible amount of love and support that’s been headed our way, in these final hours. It’s definitely been felt. I’ll check in soon, but, for now, #WeHaveWorkToDo #spnfamily

Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester) expressed a heartfelt message as he headed off to film for the last time.

Woke up at 6am this morning. That alarm went off with a heavy tone. Today is the final day of a 15 year journey. One that has changed my life forever. To those I have worked with on this journey and to those who have watched and supported…you will never understand my great appreciation for you. “Thank you” doesn’t cover it. There just aren’t words. I’m so grateful for these memories that I will carry with me forever. What a ride it has been. And what a run. #spnfamilyforever here are a few shots from our final days…including today. I’ll try and send more later, but in true SPN form…we are in the middle of “nowhere” and have zero service. Go figure. Stay tuned.

#ThankYouSupernatural. You’ve changed my life in so many ways and you changed the world for the better.

Fight on. https://t.co/w5jluwRaVL

You may be shooting your last day…helping to bring Supernatural across the finish line and into television history, but this is not… the End. Supernatural is a show about love, and the love that has been created within the story is eternal. Love between brothers, love between friends, love between co-stars…love for the crew, love for the fans, and love for each other. Thank you to everyone who is a part of this community and those who continue to share their love and talents with us all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ? @arachnobite (Set Dec) and Moira (Costumes) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “For there’ll be peace when you are done.

I may have played The Darkness, but my heart felt like it was exploding sunbeams every time I got to work on @cw_supernatural. The show and its fandom changed my life so much for the better, and I can’t believe the end of the road is here. Thank you to everyone who made the set such a wonderful place to play, and thank YOU, #spnfamily, for your unbelievable love and passion. ? * * * #supernatural #spnfamily #amara #dean #chuck #sam #mooseandsquirrel #season15 #thisistheend

To the show that changed my life and introduced me to some people who will continue to change my life. Thank you. What the boys and the crew made over the last 15 years changed the energy of the world, and energy neither lives nor dies. So here’s to living forever. Congratulations on this, your very last day @cw_supernatural ?❤️

And one last #BTS for an epic 4 year ride that was only supposed to be three episodes for me at first… Massive thanks to @jensenackles @jaredpadalecki @misha and all the creators directors other cast and crew that made me so grateful to get to play in this incredible funland! And of course huge gratitude to the global #SPNFAMILY for all your enthusiasm and artistic creations of your own. You have shown me so much kindness and creativity. Here’s hoping we all get to meet again in 2021 if and when scheduled cons resume ?? In the meantime as the lights dim and curtains close, I begin again and lean into new creations. <3

It’s the last day of filming on the set of #Supernatural. Even from afar, didn’t know I’d feel all these feelings. Thank you for 8 years of playing an amazing character. Nothing else will match being a part of the #SPN family <3 pic.twitter.com/yNoalyuMHA

Last day of shooting on #Supernatural set. Didn’t know I’d feel so many feelings today from so far away. Thank you to the cast and crew for providing a home for me as an artist, and a fan family to feel safe with. I will hopefully play other characters in my career but nothing will match playing Charlie. Family is forever y’all.

My son Steve when I did my 1st episode of #Supernatural in 2007 & today on the show’s last day of shooting. What a long & amazing ride.
