Behind the scenes of a departure ... Eric Kripke, the creator of Supernatural, has just revealed why he left the fantastic program in 2009, after writing the fifth season. The one who is now showrunner of the Amazon The Boys series expressed himself during an interview organized by Sera Gamble, who succeeded him in command of Supernatural for two seasons.
"People don't really realize what it's like to work on 22 episodes", says Eric Kripke at the microphone of his colleague, remarks reported by Entertainment Weekly. And add with a laugh: "If those who love the series knew the pu **** in absolute chaos of delivering something they love, I think they would be horrified."
Supernatural: the very end of the series teased by the creatorWorking on long seasons of 22 episodes was therefore one of the reasons for the departure of Eric Kripke. But that's not all. "I didn't suffer creatively during the first four years", continues the American. "J I am not saying that I suffered during season 5, but for the first time, I felt that I had an attitude strangely more neglected than in the past. It scared me. I felt a real responsibility: to do things the best I could all the time I was there ... And then came that moment when my main objective, during the writing of season 5, was to finish, because I had 22 episodes to do. As soon as it was one of my motivations, it really scared me. "
Eric Kripke finally remembers the moment when he announced to Warner Bros. his intention to leave the Supernatural adventure: "I told myself that I needed someone who would like the series as much as I did, who would bring him new energy that I no longer had. And that person was Sera Gamble."
The final episodes of the fifteenth and final season of Supernatural, one of the most prolific series in the audiovisual landscape, will be broadcast this fall. Ready to say goodbye to brothers Dean and Sam Winchester?
