Supernatural fans are preparing to say goodbye to the show as the two-hour series finale airs tonight (November 19) in the US.
One of the show’s stars, Jensen Ackles, revealed that he felt “uneasy” about the show coming to an end after he visited the writers room in LA with his co-star Jared Padalecki.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ackles said: “Yeah, so, during the hiatus between season 14 and 15, Jared and I went out to LA and sat down in the writers room, which I think is the first time we’ve ever done that.”
Ackles added that the experience wasn’t like a brainstorming session but rather about sitting down and listening to the writers.
“It was like, this is what we have, take it or leave it,” he said.
“And I just walked out of there kind of uneasy. I don’t know if it was just the fact that I just heard the ending of a show that had been going for 15 years and I’m just too close to it to really accept a finality to it.”
Ackles said that the end of the series was hard to accept and that he struggled with the thought of saying goodbye. Over a year ago, he had an eye-opening conversation with the creator of Supernatural, Eric Kripke.
“He just kind of put things in a perspective that really helped me kind of identify why I was having trouble with it. But also why it was a really great idea for an ending. And so from then on, I was kind of all in,” he said.
