‘Supernatural’ Creator & Cast Pay Tribute as Filming Wraps
Alright, SPN Family, it’s time to officially begin saying goodbye to Supernatural and Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles’ Sam and Dean Winchester. (Fortunately, we still have a little over two months until the series finale airs. We have time to spend in the denial stage.)
Thursday, September 10, marked the final day of filming the series finale, and cast — including those who haven’t appeared on the series in years — and crew began sharing tributes and messages of gratitude across social media to show what the long-running drama about two brothers saving people, hunting things, (in) the family business has meant to them.
The series’ creator Eric Kripke (The Boys) shared a GIF of the first scene they shot in the pilot. “I’m grateful & love you all beyond words. But it’s only over when you say it is, #SPNFamily,” he wrote. “In the words of Kim Manners (RIP): Kick It In The Ass.”
This was the first #Supernatural scene we shot. Today will be the last. I’m grateful & love you all beyond words. But it’s only over when you say it is, #SPNFamily. In the words of Kim Manners (RIP): Kick It In The Ass. #SPN @jarpad @JensenAckles @mishacollins pic.twitter.com/GXLqBkanPu

Jim Beaver (Bobby Singer, our world and Apocalypse World) shared a selfie as he prepared to go to set for the final day of filming. “Deep feelings. Very deep. I love these people,” he wrote. “Let’s go kick it in the ass one last time.”
So it’s here. Last day of principal photography on Supernatural, my home for 15 years. Getting ready to go to work on it for the final time. Deep feelings. Very deep. I love these people. Okay. Let’s go kick it in the ass one last time. pic.twitter.com/oRlalucX3h

“To the cast, crew, writers and all my friends drawing a magnificent 15 seasons to a close…. thank you. So much of my life is entwined in this show,” Mark Sheppard (Crowley) wrote alongside a gallery photo of himself. “Sorry I couldn’t be there to say my farewells in person, but you know I love you all. KIITA.”
Prepare to get emotional with many more tributes below.
Happy last day to the longest running show of its kind in American history. Sending much love to the team on this day of epic accomplishment.
Kick it in the ass, guys. Thanks for the memories. Xo #SPNFamily #supernatural https://t.co/niMKrSth9R
