We’ve just learned that Supernatural has been greenlit for an 8th season by The CW!

While it was pretty much expected that the hugely popular drama would be renewed for season 8 after the announcement that Jeremy Carver would take over for Sera Gamble as showrunner.

Jared Padalecki and Jim Beaver have also both expressed their certainty in interviews, but it’s still a relief to fans that the Supernatural boys will live to fight another year (well, presumably; with this show you never really know).

The news broke on Twitter via Supernatural producer Todd Aronauer:

Wow! More Sam and Dean is always a good thing, and let’s hope they consider bringing back Misha Collins and Jim Beaver too!

Do you think this season will be their last? Or are they going to try to top Smallville?
