Production

The show's creator Eric Kripke originally planned for the show to last only five seasons, but due to increased ratings from the fourth and fifth seasons,[27] the CW network renewed the series for a sixth season.[28] Kripke did not return as showrunner; however, he remains a hands-on executive producer, leaving long-time series writer Sera Gamble to take over the day-to-day production of the show.[27] Also, Kripke confirmed in a interview that he will definitely write an episode or two and direct an episode scheduled to air in February 2011.[29]

Gamble has said the sixth season of the show will focus on the brothers' relationship.[30][31][32] The season will steer towards the format of the early seasons with "lots of meat-and-potatoes closed-ended episodes, and...a season-long story arc to weave in".[33] According to a press release by the CW, Heaven and Hell are now in "complete disarray", forcing Sam and Dean to reunite to "beat back the rising tide of creatures and demon-spawn" that "roam across a lawless and chaotic landscape".[1] The season will jump ahead a year to "get some distance between [Sam and Dean], get some personal history for each of them" to allow for "new conflict, new circumstances, new stuff".[34] The brothers' roles will be reversed, with Dean now hesitant to return to the hunting lifestyle.[35] The brothers will investigate why monsters have been "acting off-pattern".[36] The first few episodes will establish the mythology.[34] An episode spoofing Twilight and other vampire series aired in October, 2010 and examined the "current romantic fascination" with vampires.[37][38] However, the Twilight fans at the center of the Winchesters' "disparaging" comments were "slightly fictionalised". On this, Gamble noted, "...part of the thing is finding a balance between [showing] a poster from the actual show and having Sam and Dean really speak their minds. We don't want to offend." A fan of the Twilight series, she also commented, "I'm certainly not coming at this from a place of feeling superior to them. I have great respect."[39] Another episode of the season will consist of an "insane" storyline featuring Tinker Bell.[40]

Filming for the season began with the Ackles-directed fourth episode, "Weekend at Bobby's", to give the actor enough time for preproduction.[41] Misha Collins will return as series regular Castiel,[42] as will Jim Beaver as Bobby Singer.[43] Mitch Pileggi will make multiple appearances as Sam and Dean's grandfather.[44] The recurring role of Christian, the maternal cousin of Sam and Dean, was given to Corin Nemec;[45] he is described as "capable, calm under pressure, and very good at his job".[44] Kim Rhodes will return as Sheriff Jody Mills,[46] as will Fredric Lehne as Azazel.[47]

A two hour season finale will air on May 20, 2011.[2]
