Supernatural Might End in 2010

at .

Prior to the fifth season of Supernatural premiering on September 10, creator Eric Kripke spoke to Entertainment Weekly about ending his show next year.

Possibly. Sort.

“I did set out [to] tell a five-season storyline,” he told Michael Ausiello. “Quite frankly, I never expected [the show] to make it to five years. But now that we’re in our fifth year, I have every intention of ending the story with a bang and not drawing it out or watering it down.”

Of course, there's a catch.

“That having been said, I’m looking at this season as the last chapter in this particular story," Kripke said. "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."

There's just one problem, even if Kripke does wish to continue with the series: The CW hasn't renewed Supernatual for a sixth season.

Why do they call this place The Empty? It's full. It's full of sorrow and despair playing over and over again of angels and demons dreaming about their regrets. Forever.
