(Due to the shutdown, this will be our last episode for awhile. Stay well, stay safe, and we'll see you on the other side.)
(Clarification: We have filmed through episode 18, however our visual effects and sound departments have closed because of the outbreak. So, right now, the episodes can't be finished. However, have some special treats coming along the way-- to help us all get through this.)
(And yes, we, the CW, and Warner Bros fully intend to return and finish the series. It's not a matter of "if", it's a matter of "when.")

Episode 13:

Episode 14 had been scheduled for next Monday, but the powers that be have decided tonight is the last ep for a while due to the virus shutdown. SPN only had time to take one date as a rerun to make the original finale date in May, so unless they double up episodes, that date will move.
