"Supernatural," the beloved series about two brothers battling demons (both literal and figurative), captivated audiences for an astonishing fifteen seasons. While fans rode shotgun with Sam and Dean Winchester through countless hunts and heartbreaks, creator Eric Kripke had a master plan all along, one that he subtly hinted at in the very first episode.
Brother Versus Brother: A Conflict Foretold
Imagine the emotional gut-punch fans experienced during Season 5 when the Winchesters discovered their destinies: to become the vessels for the archangels Lucifer and Michael, pitting them against each other in a battle for the fate of the world.
It was a gut-wrenching twist, but according to Kripke, it wasn’t just a dramatic plot device—it was the endgame he'd envisioned from the start.
"I will say I knew that the show was going to come down to evil Sam versus good Dean and the fate of the world was going to hang in the balance — that was baked into the pilot," Kripke revealed in a recent interview. He had envisioned a five-season arc, a tight and impactful story that culminated in a brotherly showdown of epic proportions.
Little did he know that the Winchesters' journey would stretch far beyond those initial plans.
