After an incredible fifteen seasons (and over three hundred episodes) Supernatural finally wrapped up in 2020, and fans said their final goodbye to the Winchesters (and learned that for them, death could finally be final!). Although the last episode was a contentious one, with some fans furious at how Dean was killed in a simple fight with a few vampires, others felt that it was the appropriate goodbye for the brothers after devoting their lives to killing the things that go bump in the night.

But after fifteen years with a series, where will the actors go next? It can be difficult to imagine stepping into a totally new role after a decade and a half of embodying one character, and of course, after this level of success, the stars of Supernatural don't necessarily have to leap straight into the next project, either. So what have the Winchesters and their friends (and enemies) been up to since the end of the series, and where can fans see them in future?

Kim Rhodes (Jody Mills)

The hope was that Sheriff Jody Mills, ally to the Winchesters, would be following up the series with a spin-off. The planned series, which was to be called Wayward Sisters, was given a backdoor pilot in season 13 of Supernatural, and would have followed Jody and the young women who lived with her after losing their families to supernatural events. Sadly, though, this series failed to take off. Rhodes has had a few other roles while Supernatural was still on the air, including in Criminal Minds and Kings of Con, but she currently has no upcoming projects.

Rob Benedict (Chuck)

Rob Benedict as Chuck God in Supernatural

Rob Benedict has been a part of Supernatural since 2009, although the earlier seasons had him appear only occasionally as a prophet and author of the 'Supernatural' books. It was only in the later seasons that it was revealed that he was actually God himself, and (finally) the enemy of the Winchesters. Benedict has appeared in two projects since the end of the show, sticking with the supernatural series with a small part in Lucifer, as well as a role in the film Violet. Next, he'll be appearing in On The Verge, a drama series for Netflix about women in their 40s.

Ruth Connell (Rowena)

Ruth Connell as Rowena MacLeod in Supernatural 14.14

Rowena, the witch who was an enemy turned frenemy turned friend of the Winchesters, dies at the end of season 14. Of course, that's not the end of her in the show, as death is rarely the end for anyone in Supernatural! Since the show ended, Connell has appeared in 2020's The Cursed Man, keeping in with the supernatural theme - as this is a thriller about a man who believes that death is in love with him, and will jealously kill anyone who so much as smiles at him. Next up, she will be in Hexengeddon, still sticking with a witchy vibe, as this project (currently in pre-production) centers on modern day witches rising up to take global revenge for the death of one of their own.

Alexander Calvert (Jack)

Alexander Calvert in Arrow Season 4 Episode 10

Jack was a late addition to Supernatural, appearing for the first time at the end of season 12. However, by the end of the series he had become a vital character, eventually even able to essentially take over as the new god. The role is arguably Calvert's biggest yet, although he has also appeared in the Arrowverse (as Lonnie Machin in Arrow) as well as recent movies like Good Boys (2019). At the moment, the actor has no upcoming projects.

Mark Sheppard (Crowley)

Willoughby Kipling In Doom Patrol.

Many fans were bitterly disappointed that Crowley didn't return in the final season of Supernatural like so many other fan-favorite characters, but that doesn't take away from how important he was to the show as the crossroads demon, king of hell, and ally to the Winchesters.

Mark Sheppard was, of course, a well-established actor long before his appearance in Supernatural, and is known for appearing in 'nerdy' series, including Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Dollhouse, Warehouse 13, and many more. Post-Supernatural, Sheppard moved on to the world of comic books, with a role as Willoughby Kipling in Doom Patrol.

Samantha Smith (Mary Winchester)

Samantha Smith as Mary Winchester in Supernatural 13.14

Mary Winchester has a fascinating history in Supernatural. A character who dies in the pilot (and in a flashback, at that), it was assumed that she would not appear in the series again. However, throughout the seasons, Mary appears in flashbacks, fantasies, and even in time travel scenes, before eventually being brought back to life by the Darkness and joining her sons for the final few seasons. Samantha Smith's character didn't quite make it to the finale, though, and has no upcoming projects listed.

Jim Beaver (Bobby Singer)

Jim Beaver as Bobby Singer in Supernatural

Bobby Singer is a father figure to the Winchester boys in Supernatural, and is a great example of how death really does mean nothing in Supernatural. Over the course of the show, he was a main character in the earlier seasons, died in season 7, returned as a ghost a little later, himself in the original Heaven for a while, and then returned as a doppelganger from Apocalypse World for the final seasons, and got his last appearance as his original self in the new Heaven after Dean dies. Now that the show is well and truly done, though, Beaver is working on something new: Nightmare Alley. This mystery thriller is set for release in December of this year.

Misha Collins (Castiel)

Misha Collins GISHWHES

Castiel may have only joined Supernatural in season 4, but it quickly became impossible to imagine the show without him. Often considered the third Winchester, Castiel's end was an emotional one - and one that paid homage to the many fans who shipped Castiel and Dean.

Collins became known for founding The Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen (GISHWHES) during the filming of Supernatural, an institution that will continue post-series (the next edition is set for July 31, 2021). The only acting project he is currently working on is a sci-fi thriller, titled Invasion.

Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester)

The younger Winchester brother, Sam is one of the two stars of Supernatural - and during the show's run, also worked to raise awareness of mental health issues (and spoke openly about his own struggles with depression), raised money for causes through his 'Always Keep Fighting' campaign, and has become a very public face for the topic. He has also collaborated with Arrow star Stephen Amell on a wine for Amell's 'Nocking Point' brand, and owns a bar in his native Texas. Since the show, he has become the star of Walker, a reboot of Walker, Texas Ranger.

Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester)

Jensen Ackles Soldier Boy Homelander The Boys Comics Season 3

It's difficult for Supernatural fans to decide if Sam or Dean is the bigger star of Supernatural, but at the end of the day, the show couldn't exist without either of them. The tough big brother of the show, Dean's end may not have been beloved by every fan, but his final scenes in Heaven were beautiful. Post-Supernatural, he'll be joining the comic book adaptation The Boys, as Soldier Boy, in the third season. In addition, Ackles will be taking on another comic project, voicing Batman/Bruce Wayne in the upcoming animated Batman: The Long Halloween Part I, set for release later this year.
