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

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.
