Series Creator Eric Kripke is Leaving Supernatural!
The Show-runner has announced that he is stepping down from the day-to-day management of the show...
According to Entertainment Weekly, the creator of the show will be succeeded by executive producer Sera Gamble. Despite resigning from his role, Kripke is expected to still be actively involved with the CW drama as a hands-on executive producer with co-showrunner Robert Singer.
"Eric and Bob will be working very closely with Sera," said an insider. "They are not abandoning the show."
Kripke has previously stated that he always envisioned Supernatural as a five season show, but has since adjusted his stance when the series was renewed for a 6th, "I'm looking at this season as the last chapter in this particular story. "That doesn't mean there can't be a new story."
However, it's not all bad news as Kripke is reportedly in the process of signing a new deal with WB Television, meaning he’s at work on a new series!
