Here's some devastating news that is sure to ruin your weekend: Supernatural will come to an end after Season 15. Stars Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins broke the news Friday in a heartfelt video posted to Twitter.
"Even though we are excited about going into our 15th season, it will be our last. Fifteen years of a show that has certainly changed my life. I know it's changed these two guys' [lives]. We just wanted you to hear it from us. Though we're excited about next year, it will be the finale, the big grand finale of an institution," Jensen Ackles revealed.
Added Jared Padalecki, "We've cried some tears, and we're going to cry some more… We're so grateful, and we will try to work the emotion into next season."
Echoing their sentiments, Misha Collins also gave love to the Supernatural fandom, saying, "We love you guys, and this family is not going anywhere, even though the show is coming to an end."
Ackles closed out the video with a message from series creator Eric Kripe: "In a show about family, it is amazing and it is the pride of his life that it became family, so thank you guys for that," he said.
But Kripke had more to say, tweeting, "SPNFamily please remember: shows end. But family is forever. That never changes & that's what you've created here. All my love & thanks to the cast & crew & most of all you, the family."
Executive producers Robert Singer and Andrew Dabb also opened up about the shocking news in a joint statement. "Firstly, we would like to thank all the people who have been involved with the show both in front of and behind the camera. For us, it has been an experience of a lifetime. The support we have had from both Warner Bros. Television and The CW has been incredible. We'd like to give special thanks to Jensen, Jared, and Misha for making this journey so special. It is now most important to us to give these characters that we love the send-off they deserve," their statement reads.

It’s been a hell of a run, and we couldn’t be more grateful for all of it. No matter what, we’ll always all be SPNFamily.
Jim Beaver, who plays the beloved Bobby Singer, had a hilarious reaction, tweeting, "News of the day: Supernatural is ending at the end of its next season (15) and the Mueller report was turned in to the Attorney General. Guess which story got my kid's biggest reaction. (Hint: It's the story with REAL demons.)"
@JewelStaite To the fabulous cast and hard working crew of Supernatural: Congrats on 15 incredible seasons. I was so happy to be a tiny part of it and am in awe of your legacy and your superpower fanbase full of fierce, loving, and welcoming people. Legends, all of you.
@mattcohen4real Tough day. Emotionally. My last episode of @GeneralHospital aired. And @cw_spn announced its final season. I am grateful to all the fantastic casts, crews, and fandoms I have been able meet along the way. It’s all those experiences that have helped me grow into the man I am today
@katramdeen I love you guys & will always support you! Congratulations on making so many people so happy. Thank you for the long hours. Thank you for the village it takes to create the magic that is Supernatural
@kimrhodes4real I can’t say what this show has given me any more than a boat can know what the ocean has given her. Every good thing in my life can be linked to it and the people I know because of it. BUT may the grief of its departure not destroy the joy of its current presence.
