Some seriously apocalyptic events concluded season five of Supernatural.

Since then, fans have been debating whether or not the show should continue, or if it went out on a series finale-esque note last week.

It doesn't matter either way, of course, as The CW has already announced a sixth season. It's also released the following statement, which sets up the events to come this fall:

Season six will be a season of mystery and shadow... monsters, angels and demons roam across a lawless and chaotic landscape. And so Dean Winchester, who has retired from hunting and sworn never to return, finds himself being pulled back into his old life — pulled back by none other than Sam Winchester, who has escaped from Hell. 

The two reunite to beat back the rising tide of creatures and demon-spawn, but they quickly realize that neither are who they used to be, their relationship isn’t what it used to be, and that nothing is what it seems.

REMEMBER: SUPERNATURAL WILL AIR ON FRIDAYS FOR THE 2010-2011 SEASON.
