Discussing a possible revival, the Supernatural executive producer reveals enthusiasm and even mentions Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the context of his conceptual plans.
In the world of television, the supernatural continues to captivate audiences, with two iconic series, Supernatural and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, set to make a comeback. While no official confirmations have been made, the cast and creators of both shows have expressed enthusiasm for a potential revival.
Andrew Dabb, showrunner for the final three seasons of Supernatural, believes that a revival is inevitable. Dabb, who also proposes an intriguing opening scene for a new Supernatural story, suggests that the series could involve supernatural monsters, angels, or demons. The feasibility of a Supernatural revival, however, is yet to be determined, as it depends on someone deciding it's the right time to bring it back.
Supernatural ran for an impressive 15 seasons before concluding in 2020, and its popularity remains strong. New audiences continue to discover the series on streaming platforms, which could support a revival. The cast, including Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins, have expressed interest in a revival, favoring a limited series over a full season due to their age and previous commitments.
The cast's involvement in other projects, such as The Boys, could influence any future approach to a Supernatural revival. Eric Kripke, the creator of Supernatural and current showrunner of The Boys, might also play a role in shaping a potential revival.
Meanwhile, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, another beloved supernatural series, is also getting a reboot. Despite Sarah Michelle Gellar's involvement in the original series, the reboot is happening. The specifics of the reboot are yet to be announced, but fans are eagerly awaiting more information.
As we wait for official announcements, the ongoing fan interest and the cast's willingness to explore new formats keep the possibility of a Supernatural revival open. For now, we can only speculate about the potential return of these iconic series and the supernatural adventures they might bring.
