That's always surprised me and continues to surprise me as I get older. "And now there's an 11- or 12-year-old great granddaughter who started watching the show with her friends.
"It's like a great grandmother watched the show because her daughter and granddaughter got her involved," he said. He put some of this down to the newer landscape of streaming, which brought in many younger fans – some who "weren't even alive when the show started."
Ackles recalled that while the show's success wasn't overnight, it had a solid audience that has only grown since the Aughts in both size and age range. A great writer will see what's going on between the character and the performer and gradually start meshing the two."įan participation has played a huge role in Supernatural's longevity, from conventions centered around the show to even one-on-one encounters that drive home the diverse range of fans getting into the "family business," so to speak. And that's a kudos to our great writing team. Often in hindsight, Padalecki said, "I can see that maybe part of what Sam was expressing on screen was correlated with what Jared was going through off screen. He added that fans have reached out to him because they see something deeper in his portrayal of Sam, which is due in part to Supernatural's writing staff. As someone who has been open about his struggles with depression and anxiety, Padalecki said he wasn't sure if it were "happenstance or kismet or synchronicity or something, but Sam and Jared have gone through a lot of similar situations in life – both dealing with, you know, questioning their purpose and questioning whether the world is better off with them." Padalecki attributed some of his own love for the show to its writing, which allows him to explore deeper elements of his own life. Referring to an off-the-cuff remark from show creator Eric Kripke on the Winchester brothers as loose versions of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, Ackles said he has always played Dean with a mix of "the drama, the action, and a little bit of comedy in there," to give people "a lot more color to look at when they're watching the show." (He admitted, of course, that "I was always much more of a Han Solo fan.") Much of what has kept Supernatural a continued presence from its debut on then-WB Network, now the more teen friendly CW, is due to Ackles and Padalecki's characters – Dean and Sam Winchester – being emotional touchstones through the show. It's not a matter of 'if', it's a matter of 'when.'" On March 23, executive producer Andrew Dabb announced that this is just a hiatus and that "we, the CW, and Warner Bros fully intend to return and finish the series.

The series was scheduled to come to an end this summer, but production has shut down due to coronavirus concerns. It's just going to take a little longer to get to the end of that road than either Ackles or Padalecki – both Austin residents – expected. Ackles and fellow Winchester brother Jared Padalecki have been on this Supernatural road trip for a long time – eons, one might say – but though the end is near, the road so far has been pretty friggin' great. But behind the statistic is a show focused on engaging characters, relationships, and emotions painted on, as actor Jensen Ackles said, a wide canvas of "hunting monsters, demons, angels, God, and hell and heaven." The show has been a mainstay of genre television since its arrival in 2005, garnering a massive fan base as well as a wide swath of interesting cast members.
