It's official. Supernatural has been granted an early season renewal. It'll be back next year.

No word yet on Smallville. *crosses fingers*

I'm... not sure how to react. Certainly not over-the-moon about the renewal, but not willing to quit the show before its done. Even with Kripke standing down as showrunner. There's only one reason why I'd quit the show, but I'm not saying it just in case I jinx things. ;)

*crosses all fingers for SV renewal* Though my watching of that will probably depend upon Allison Mack returning.

Aw, Kripke is not coming back? I didn't know that. I was trying to avoid anything that would bring me down about this.

He's still going to be around, don't worry! From what I've heard, he's still going to be a hands-on executive producer, but he's handing the showrunner reins over to Sera Gamble. They'll be switching roles, basically. It'll still be his vision, though, and Sera is actually a better writer than Kripke anyway. ;)

I honestly don't think this will change things at all in terms of show quality. I'm actually relieved, because Sera's very good at giving both brothers a heavy storyline in her episodes, so you can bet she'll keep things nice and even for season 6. :)

Oh, sorry. I considered it part of the renewal news.

He will still be involved, but I think Sera Gamble is taking over as showrunner. I read that Kripke would like to start planning another show, so stepping down would allow him that time.
