The new show is titled ‘The Winchesters.’

It was almost a year ago that we first learned Supernatural would stage its own animated Scooby-Doo crossover, and The CW is finally ready to rip off the mask. See what takes Sam, Dean and Castiel to a land of meddling kids and monsters in a first look at the March 29 crossover.

Crazy as it is to think of Arrow In Space, the emerald archer’s DC crossovers are no weirder than Supernatural hanging out with Scooby-Doo. Might that one day give us Sam and Dean v. Queen? The Supernatural stars aren’t so sure.

It’s been several years since Supernatural first attempted to drain Bloodlines into a spinoff series, and considering Season 13 will dip into the Scooby-Doo crossover well, it might be time to try again. Fan-favorite Sheriff Jody Mills will lead another spinoff attempt, this one focused on Wayward Sisters.

Sam and Dean have gone just about everywhere twelve seasons of Supernatural could take them, save one realm: animation. Yes, the Winchesters have drawn up an animated episode for Season 13, placing them into the world of – jinkies! – Scooby-Doo.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s long list of genre credits let the boys of Supernatural have a bit of fun with their dad busting skulls on The Walking Dead, but the two crossing paths onscreen is another matter. A familiar foe popped up on last night’s Supernatural, connecting universes with logic more twisted than barbed wire.

Supernatural has run long enough to share The CW with both Smallville and the current generation of Arrow, Flash, Supergirl and Legends, as well as their many crossovers. We’d never expect Sam and Dean to drive the Impala through Central City, but it seems the Winchesters very nearly took a trip to the Smallville set.

Talk of Supernatural’s inevitable end seemed loudest around a tenth or eleventh season, or at least development of a spinoff. We’re a few deep into Season 12 now, with no immediate signs of stopping, but despite recent chatter of ending the series around 300 episodes, star Jensen Ackles isn’t willing to put a number on Supernatural’s ending just yet.

Jeffrey Dead Morgan is something of a TV vagabond, to the point that few expected to see him in another horror-tinged genre series while Supernatural was still airing. Now that the erstwhile papa Winchester has found a home cracking skulls on The Walking Dead, however, Supernatural star Jensen Ackles is having a bit of fun over Twitter.

Eleven seasons of The CW’s Supernatural have defied expectations already, raising the eternal question of when Sam and Dean might finally park the Impala for good. Heading into Season 12, however, both stars and producers are aiming for 300 episodes, which could mean a series finale in a shortened fourteenth season.
