Supernatural begins its 10th season tonight on The CW at 9p and this show hasn’t depreciated over time. It just gets better and better with age, so how long can these ageing actors do it? Recently during The CW’s TCA Summer Press Tour Day Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles answered that question.
Jared was the first to answer and he said, “I truly do deeply care about this show and about Sam Winchester.” Then he added, “I’ve spent nine years of my life with him. So I don’t want him to be broken down and beaten down into something that I end up not respecting. And I respect this character, and I respect this show, and I respect our writers and my fellow actors and actresses.” He feels that if an end is coming, we will all know it. Then it will be time for him to hang up The Colt. As much as he doesn’t want the show to end, since the show started he became a husband and a dad. When that time comes, he will “welcome that chapter.”
Does his TV brother, who has become like a real brother, feel the same way? Jensen added, “I think we’re all on the same page. We still get excited about it. And I think that hasn’t tarnished in 10 years.” Then he explained, “I think that as long as there’s that fulfillment, that enjoyment, that excitement, then yeah, we will keep going, and as long as people are hanging in there with us and are still entertained, then we love telling the stories of both of these guys.” In fact, he shared the tidbit that after he read the season 9 finale, he couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next to Dean Winchester starting tonight.
And neither can we, so buckle up folks because it looks like The Impala isn’t going to slow down anytime soon. And for us that is a really good thing.
