Kripke stepping down as showrunner

[katikat]

According to Ausiello, Eric Kripke is stepping down as showrunner for Supernatural's S6. Sera Gamble is taking over. But!

But, and this is a big but, Kripke will remain actively involved in the show — and not just in name only. Although CW and Warner Bros. reps declined to comment, a Supernatural insider assures me that Kripke and his current co-showrunner, Robert Singer, will continue to function as hands-on executive producers.

“Eric and Bob will be working very closely with Sera,” says the source. “They are not abandoning the show.”

...

Kripke is said to be finalizing a new deal with Warner Bros. that will feature a big development component. In other words, his diminished role on Supernatural will free him up to create another awesome show.

Another show from Kripke? Awesome! As long as there are just as lovable characters as Sam and Dean, then I'm with it!
