At the Dallas Supernatural con Jensen Ackles said there would soon be a big announcement that will “move the needle”.

We of course have no idea what it might be, but as usual the fandom is full of theories.

My current favorite theory was presented by @AbnosomeAlyssa on Twitter:

I’m wondering if the “move the needle” announcement is a network switch for The Winchesters from CW to HBOmax. It would then lead to talks about one last limited season of Supernatural, on HBOmax. And I think they will brand season 16 “The Final Hunt”.

It’s no secret that the final episode was largely disliked by fans as well as Jensen himself so the idea of another season with the possibility of maybe even retconning that disastrous episode is amazing.

Whatever the news ends up being, Jensen’s excited about it and the wait is killing me!
