A lot has been happening on the Supernatural front. First up, Variety reports that Supernatural’s Fearless Leader/Malevolent Genius Eric Kripke has signed a two-year deal with Warner Bros. TV. In addition to running Supernatural, Kripke will develop new projects for the company. Potential projects? Well, Kripke has said he wanted to do a sort of Supernatural prequel set in the Old West and exploring some of the show’s mythology (like the origin of the Colt, we assume?)
But that’s not all: TV Guide broke the news that Katie Cassidy is gone from the show. “She’s great, but this was unfortunately a financial decision — purely budgetary, because creatively she was terrific," Kripke said. "I have nothing but great affection for Katie, and she was great for the show. It was a very difficult business decision about the realities we are in."
We can’t say we’re totally surprised – after all, Katie had some serious detractors, and Ruby did seem pretty darn dead in the season finale (what with being possessed, then dispossessed by Lilith.) Still, it’s a bit of a shock, since Ruby seemed to be an important character. What do you think about the news?
A hilarious Jared story and great Jared pics from Sydney after the jump, so keep reading!
