## Synopsis

Supernatural (2005-2020) is an American fantasy horror series created by Eric Kripke for The WB and later The CW. Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) are brothers raised by their demanding father to hunt the paranormal evil lurking in America's back roads. They drive across the country in a battered '67 Chevy Impala, taking on ghosts, witches, shapeshifters and other monsters, with each episode built around a fresh case while the brothers' own bond and unfinished family business pull them forward. Over fifteen seasons and 327 episodes the show shifts from standalone monster-of-the-week hunts into a sprawling mythology involving angels, demons and the apocalypse, with Misha Collins as Castiel and Mark Sheppard as Crowley among the principal supporting figures. The tone blends creepy horror with a lightweight, Boys Own buddy humor and heartfelt sibling loyalty. Set in contemporary America, it is a long running, serialized hybrid that fans of The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer will find familiar in spirit, while its road movie energy and monster mash charm stand on their own.
