Supernatural Pilot Overview

By: Adrianna Raile

Supernatural is a 15-season long show, averaging about 21-22 episodes per season, totaling 327 in the whole series. The show first aired on CW in 2005 and ran until 2020, staying consistent with their releases and cast. Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles as the older brother Dean Winchester and Jared Padalecki as the younger brother Sam Wincheaster.

The show begins in 1983 when mysteriously the brothers’ mother, Mary Winchester, died tragically in a house fire. However, it wasn’t a normal house fire, because she was pinned to the ceiling of Sam’s nursery and the fire started around her with only baby Sam in sight. From then on, John Winchester became a hunter, searching for the supernatural species that killed his wife. As time went on and the brother grew older, they hunted by their dad’s side as well.

22 years later, Sam is in college and away from the hunting business until his brother Dean breaks into his apartment, telling Sam, “Dad’s on a hunting trip, and he hasn’t been home in a few days.” That quote was the entire base of the show, and is what brought Sam out of his “monster free life.” Sam infact did not want to go hunting again, but his dad was in danger and he can’t say no to his older brother Dean. They go on the hunt, with no luck in finding their dad. When Sam gets back to his apartment, he comes to find his girlfriend Jessica on the cieling, burning just like his mother 22 years ago. From then on, the boys began hunting together again for the next 15 years, trying to avenge everyone they have lost because of the supernatural.

They endured many deaths, injuries, heartbreaks, and losses due to hunting monsters and demons. The biggest death due to a demon was John Winchester, who died from a deal with the same demon that killed his wife, Mary.
