Jensen Ackles Teases More Supernatural: “I Do Feel Like This Isn’t the Long Goodbye”
Supernatural comes to an end on The CW this November. However, as fans have learned through 15 years and 15 seasons of the sci-fi horror series, nothing is ever really over. That appears to be the mindset of its leading star Jensen Ackles.

He continued, seemingly doubling down on the notion, adding: “I do feel like this isn’t the long...
