A clip from the Supernatural box set goes back to the very beginning, looking back on the casting of lead stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. For some time, it almost looked like Supernatural would live forever. Premiering back in 2005 when The CW was still The WB, the paranormal show told the story of brothers Sam (Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Ackles) as they take up the family business of demon hunting in the wake of their father’s disappearance. Supernatural amassed a dedicated fanbase over the years, which allowed it to run for a total of 15 seasons.
At long last, Supernatural came to an end last fall after suffering from some COVID-related delays. The final episodes of season 15 were met with some decidedly mixed responses with fans, with Castiel’s (Misha Collins) final moments with Dean drawing particular debate. Additionally, the Supernatural series finale, which had to be adjusted due to the pandemic, proved polarizing within the fanbase. Nevertheless, Supernatural remains a major television feat, and it can be remembered forever through its complete box set.
The Supernatural box set releases tomorrow, May 25, and ComicBook.com has an exclusive clip from the special features. Titled “Family Don’t End In Blood – Once In A Lifetime,” the clip looks back on the pairing of Padalecki and Ackles, which creator Eric Kripke said from the beginning would set the tone of the entire show. Kripke and producers like Andrew Dabb factor into the clip as they praise both actors for their performances.

The early looks at Ackles and Padalecki on Supernatural‘s set will undoubtedly inspire fond feelings within fans, especially when thinking about how far they’ve come as actors. As Dabb points out, both could easily lead a show on their own, which is a testament to their skills as performers. In fact, Padalecki has since moved on to lead The CW’s Walker. For his part, Ackles will make a highly anticipated appearance in season 3 of Kripke’s The Boys. Still, both Padalecki and Ackles will definitely always be remembered for their time as Sam and Dean.
Regardless of how one feels about Supernatural‘s ending, there’s still a lot of affection that can be felt about the series as a whole. The box set, fully titled Supernatural: The Complete Series, will feature all 15 seasons of the show, plus behind the scenes featurettes. In total, there will be 13,716 minutes of content across 59 discs. This feels like a must-have for die hard Supernatural fans. As shown in the special clip, there will be plenty of deep dives into how the series came together, so those planning on purchasing the box set better get ready for a lot of binge-watching.
