LOS ANGELES, March 31 (UPI) — As “Supernatural” continues into Season 11, stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki have revealed how they see the long-running series coming to an end.
“If you’d asked me Season 1, I would’ve thought that it would’ve been the apocalypse. But then again, you can’t end the TV show with the worst thing happening,” Ackles said to “Entertainment Weekly” Wednesday.
“As we’ve evolved, I think that there’s different roads that the show could certainly go down that would be interesting. I think we’ve taken some really good turns,” he continued before Padalecki mentioned how perhaps their characters, spirit hunters Sam and Dean Winchester will go down in a “blaze of glory.”
“It’s changed a lot over time. Part of me, loving ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,’ always thought it’d be great to see the boys against insurmountable odds and to freeze-frame on them and just hear stuff in the background,” he said. “You don’t know if they die, you don’t know if they live, but you know that they’re going to go out in a blaze of glory.”
Other ideas the duo threw around included seeing the two brothers viewing the end of the world from the hood of their car. One thing the actors agreed upon however is how the ending needs to be action-packed. “The boys can’t stop fighting. As long as they’re alive, they’re not going to stop fighting. We’re going to have to see them continue to do good together. I think that’s what’s the most important part,” Padalecki added.
“It’s either going to end tragic or it’s going to end not tragic, and I can kind of make an argument for both. I don’t really know where it’s going to go. I always thought Dean would make the ultimate sacrifice for his brother. I guess if I had to choose something, that’s probably what I would choose,” Ackles chimed in.
For now, “Supernatural” shows no signs of slowing down or ending anytime soon with the CW recently renewing the drama for a record-setting twelfth season.
“Supernatural” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.
