Fans of the long-running cult series were stunned as Warner Bros. Television and The CW unveiled the teaser trailer for Supernatural – Season 16, marking a surprise revival of the beloved show three years after its emotional series finale.

Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles return as Sam and Dean Winchester, picking up the story in a post-apocalyptic landscape where the balance between heaven, hell, and Earth has collapsed. The teaser reveals a darker tone, shadowy visuals, and a mysterious voice saying:

“The gates are open… but who let them out?”
Though Season 15 brought what was believed to be a definitive end to the Winchesters’ journey, showrunner Andrew Dabb returns alongside Eric Kripke as executive producer to craft what is being called a “spiritual continuation” of the saga.
