Supernatural

While Supernatural fans celebrate the renewal of this CW drama for a sixth season, their enthusiasm must be tempered:

Series creator Eric Kripke will not remain in charge of the show's episode-to-episode operations next year. As first reported by Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Sera Gamble will step into this role.

However: “Eric will be working very closely with Sera,” said a source. “[He is] not abandoning the show.”

Supernatural returns with new episodes on March 25 - and with a new season in the fall of 2010.

In an August interview, Kripke seemed to forecast his reduced role on Supernatural. He said:

“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. Buffy did it. The X-Files did it. You close a chapter on a big mythology storyline and then you begin a new one.”

Such will be the case with Supernatural. We're excited to see what happens.
