This morning at the TCA Winter 2013 Press Tour’s CW Executive Session, network president Mark Pedowitz was noncommittal about whether or not a ninth season for Supernatural is coming, though his words seemed fairly positive.
“No, nothing’s been announced yet. No determination’s been made. We are pleased with how Wednesday night completely has worked out with Arrow being a bona fide hit and Supernatural actually gaining viewers back again. I think creatively the show’s in a great place and there’s always a good shot that that could happen,” he said.
In a recent interview with Zap2It, Pedowitz revealed that Warner Bros. has signed deals with Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki for ninth and tenth seasons, if they should happen. What he did seem to discount, though, was the notion of a Castiel spin-off featuring Misha Collins’ character.
“You look at [whether the] audience is engaged. You look at that universe — can it actually launch something? Supernatural if you decide to do a spin-off off of that, you [question] does it work? Does it incubate the show really well?” Pedowitz asked in the interview, before moving on to a show he is already planning a spin-off fr. “We have a lot of characters on Vampire Diaries, and they’re all rich, rich characters. Klaus and the Original family gives us an opportunity to do something where we can get more bang for the buck, so to speak.”
Supernatural returns with new episodes on Wednesday, January 16. Take a look at some images from the return episode!
