What's the latest for Supernatural Season 6?

The season 6 renewal for Supernatural is great news for fans who want more Sam and Dean in action. The CW series follows the chisel-jawed Winchester brothers, who were raised by their father, John, to hunt and kill all things that go "bump in the night" after his wife, Mary, was murdered by something supernaturally evil when the boys were young. When Sam and Dean grow up, their father suddenly disappears on a supposedly supernatural hunt routine. Sam and Dean search for their father and along the way help anyone with a supernatural problem with the help from their dad's journal that contains most of his knowledge about the supernatural.



The news raises some intriguing conjecture about Supernatural. Season Five had long been touted as the last, with the Winchester brothers finally doing battle against Lucifer during the apocalypse. For a sixth season, what does one do for an encore after slaying Satan?

Creator/producer Eric Kripke has always maintained that the five-year arc would conclude with Sam and Dean confronting the Devil in a final showdown, though he's also been quick to add that he's not necessarily out of ideas, either.



Going down the path of speculation, here's one possibility: the apocalypse story arc could be extended for another season. This might also explain the preponderance of stand-alone episodes already aired this year-many viewers have wondered why the writers have wasted time on these sorts of stories instead of focusing more on end of days themes and the climactic confrontation with Lucifer. The short answer is that it may have been by design.



Another option is that Kripke and the writers dive headlong into the aftermath of Lucifer's defeat, what it means to the world, and how it impacts on Sam and Dean. What does removing the Devil do to the polarity and balance of the universe? Do penny-ante evildoers ravage the world, with no "dark hierarchy" to keep them in check?
