Supernatural is an American dark fantasy drama television series. It was first broadcast on September 13, 2005. The series was produced by American TV production and distribution studio Warner Bros.Television but later transitioned to CW. The series was filmed in Vancouver, Canada.
As part of a promotional scheme, Warner Bros.Television made the first episode available to stream online for a week before it was set to premiere on the network rather than having the series debut on television. After over 10 years the series ended on November 19, 2020, with the fifteenth and final season. Aside from the fact that Supernatural is the longest-running fantasy show to have ever been broadcast in the US, it is also considered one of the greatest fantasy shows of all time.
