Supernatural: All 15 seasons ranked from worst to best

6. Supernatural season 6

As the curtain fell on Supernatural’s fifth season, it signaled the end of original showrunner Eric Kripke’s vision for the series, wrapping up his narrative threads and character arcs. This was supposed to mark the end for The CW series but the show’s popularity saw it continue past its initial endgame, adopting more of a season-story approach.

Supernatural, with its irresistible blend of horror, humor, and fraternal bonds, was far from finished. With season 6, fans were thrust into an unforeseen narrative leap, set a year later, immersing viewers in a world where Dean grapples with an ordinary existence — a world that is promptly disrupted by Sam’s unexpected return from the underworld. It would all begin again.

The sixth season takes fans on a rollercoaster ride of suspense and emotion. As Dean reconciles with his brother’s resurrection, a chilling realization sets in: Sam may have escaped Hell, but his soul remains imprisoned. Determined, Dean forges a daring plan to reclaim Sam’s lost soul, while undercurrents of treachery and power plays stir in the backdrop. Castiel, a once staunch ally, emerges as an unforeseen adversary, conspiring with Crowley to unleash Purgatory’s trapped souls for a frightening ascent to godhood.

As the season unfolds, it masterfully interweaves these mythology-steeped story arcs with an intense exploration of the Winchester brothers’ complex relationship, creating a balanced narrative tapestry that keeps viewers riveted to their screens.
