The previews talking about Lucifer’s role in the new season have also been interesting, and we’re curious to see how he will be presented in his human form. It’s guaranteed that there will be some hilarious moments around his character, knowing the sense of humor the show’s writers have been displaying so far.
There may be a lot of skepticism towards “Supernatural” right now, and some fans of the show have more or less given up on the idea of seeing it go back to its roots. But the current state of the production is not bad at all, and it’s managed to recover nicely from its downtime.
Every show inevitably goes through these slower periods after it’s been on the screen for a longer time like “Supernatural” has. And to the producers’ credit, they’ve done quite a lot to preserve the original positive aspects of the production intact.
They’ve also made some changes to the format, but that was inevitable if they wanted to keep fans interested for a longer time.
Showrunners in general have to walk a fine line when their productions have been on the screen for several years – they have to keep making changes that are strong enough to keep fans interested, while on the other hand they must be careful not to alienate any of their original followers by changing things too fast. It’s not rare that shows fail because they’ve leaned too heavily towards one side.
