Interesting dianthusmoon! I hope the writers can step it up for season 12...cuz I'm not digging the direction we are going right now. Where else can the show go now? Chuck is God...now what???

Here's the article about the show from the link posted here.
“Supernatural” showrunner Jeremy Carver will step down following Season 11 to oversee his newly picked up CW drama series “Frequency,” Variety has confirmed. “Supernatural” mainstays Andrew Dabb and Robert Singer will take over showrunning duties on the veteran genre show in Season 12. Singer has been with the series since Season 1 as an executive producer and director, while Dabb joined the show in Season 4, beginning as a writer and story editor before being promoted to co-executive producer.

Singer has been with Supernatural since Season 1 as an exec producer, director and occasional writer. Dabb joined the series in Season 4, working his way up from writer/story editor to co-executive producer. Carver, meanwhile, began as a script writer on Supernatural in Season 3.

Carver’s new series, Frequency — dubbed a reimagining of the 2000 sci-fi film — centers on a female police detective (The Flash‘s Peyton List) who discovers she is able to speak via a ham radio with her estranged father (also a detective) who died in 1996. They forge a new relationship while working together on an unresolved murder case, but unintended consequences of the ‘butterfly effect’ wreak havoc in the present day.
