The final season of Supernatural is upon us and cameras will be rolling on its final episode ever very soon. To prepare fans for the inevitable end, series showrunner Andrew Dabb took to Twitter to reveal that the finale script has been completed, posting a tease of the last moments from the last episode ever. The final three words that appear in the script for the episode are simply BLACKOUT and The End, officially bringing the story of the Winchesters to a close. Dabb has been involved with the series since 2008, writing over 40 episodes along the way and climbing the ranks to serve as the showrunner starting with season 12.

Supernatural series creator Eric Kripke revealed an interesting tidbit about how he wrote the series in response to the photo as well, making a note of what he did with season finales in the early days.
I wrote To Be Continued at the end of the every #SPN ep as a good luck ritual, Kripke tweeted. They couldnt cancel us, we were continuing! #SPNFamily: know whats still continuing? You. Your love for each other & the good you put in the world. If I could ask one thing, its that: keep it up.
The series has been on a brief hiatus for some time but will return on March 16 with an all-new episode. The final season of Supernatural has, maybe unsurprisingly, been one marked by death and returns. With an all-powerful and all-seeing antagonist, it is difficult to overstate just how weird things have been getting for the Winchesters from time to time.
Theyre realizing, Well, were the Winchesters, but were we really doing this Chucks way?\' Dabb said recently. Part of reclaiming that agency is a big part of the season for them. Plus, the brothers are going to start to lose people who, in past seasons, we wouldve never lost and lose them in a very real way. Our guys are going to realize theres a certain finality, and some of the things theyve relied on to get through the day people, talents, things like that they are no longer going to be able to roll out. And thats going to throw them for a loop.
Supernatural airs on Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT, before episodes of Roswell, New Mexico on The CW. After fifteen seasons, Supernatural will wrap its epic run on Monday, May 18.
