As of now, Supernatural has not been given a 16th season. However, Jared spoke with Collider about the rumors surrounding the show’s future in April 2024, noting that he and Jensen don’t want to just throw a new season together quickly.
“Jensen and I feel so strongly about our show that we had for 15 years together that we don’t wanna just do it, just to do it,” the Walker star explained. “We don’t wanna go, “Hey, I have two weeks off in June. Let’s go ahead and shoot 10 pages a day, just so we can have some more content.’”
Jared sounded optimistic though and pointed out, “If and when Supernatural comes back, it’s going to be a labor of love, and we’re gonna put every hour in to make sure that it’s as true to the canon and to the fandom and to the story and to the characters as possible.”
When asked whether he’d reprise his role of Sam, he replied “the answer is ‘yes.’ I just don’t know when I’m available. I don’t know when [Jensen’s] available. But again, my answer is ‘yes.’”
At the beginning of the year, fans noticed that Supernatural’s official Instagram account started posting scene stills once again. Though there has been no confirmation of the show’s return, fans are convinced that this was a clue for its potential renewal.
