Supernatural star Jared Padalecki has insisted that the show will never sell out.

He told Zap2It that creator Eric Kripke has turned down product placement offers in the past.

“This isn’t a show that’s out there to be famous or to elicit more response from certain demographics,” he said. “We have a very strong creator, and Kripke stayed true. We had offers from Coca-Cola who wanted to put stuff in the episodes, and he [refused].”

Padalecki added: “[He wanted] to stay true to the story and true to the characters.”

The actor also claimed that he and his co-star Jensen Ackles are not keen on promoting products outside of the show.

“You’re not going to see Jensen and [me] on the red carpet of some body spray,” he promised. “That way, people who are fans of us are fans of our [acting] work.”

The sixth season of Supernatural begins September 24 on The CW.

When “Supernatural” creator Eric Kripke stepped down from his position as showrunner at the end of Season 5, ceding the throne to Sera Gamble, fans responded with mixed reactions.

Zap2it was on the scene of Creation Entertainment’s Salute to Supernatural in Vancouver where series stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles filled us in on the new regime.

“It was a bit of a guard change,” Padalecki says, “But it wasn’t abrupt. She’s been a big part of the show for many, many years. On that note, the show had to change a little bit. Eric’s already said that he had a 5-year arc for the show, so now that’s ended, we’ve had to change the actual show a bit.”

“I feel like the show’s totally different, just in the way that certain scripts are written,” Ackles says.

Ackles, who recently directed his first episode, has a good grasp on the changes occurring behind the camera as well. “Eric controlled the size of the script. How big it was, how many characters were written, how many different locations there were, and he was able to really dial it back and make it a doable show within our budget and the time frame that we were filming,” he says.

“I do know that from a production standpoint this year it’s increasingly more difficult to film because the shows are so big,” he continues. “We need an extra two days of work an extra million dollars of production money just to get it all in.”

Padalecki grins. “So we fired Misha [Collins]!” he jokes.

Ackles makes it clear that he’s confident in Gamble’s leadership. “I just think Sera’s kind of finding her legs a little bit,” he says. “I don’t think [the fans] will notice a difference.”

We’re pretty sure one change won’t escape our attention: “I’m naked a lot more,” Padalecki says.

Season 6 premieres at 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 24. Our DVR is set. We don’t want to miss a moment of Padalecki’s… performance.

I’m in a bit of a rush (working on other things) but Season 6, Episode 1 stills are out. I posted them on our brother site, Salted & Burned. Check them out!

PS: Follow the Supernatural site on twitter: @saltednburned

Added 13 HQ stills from “Swan Song”, the season finale from Season 5.

I was debating on whether or not to add more Supernatural related stuff to the gallery. With Salted and Burned, it would be double the work. My Jensen site, I focus on Jensen’s other projects and direct visitors to S&B for Supernatural stuff.

Until I decide exactly what to do, I will upload stills from Season 5 just to get caught up. I may stick to stills rather than caps. Let me know what you think, ok?

Hello Jared Fans!

I’m so excited about getting this site back! I currently own Salted ‘n Burned and Alluring Jensen Ackles and am excited about bringing Jared into the family.

I am bringing with me a dedicated staff and we’ll be getting right to it with updates.

Supernatural returns to the CW on September 24th and on a new night, Fridays.

While there are no promotional material available yet, you can catch up on comic-con news, and Supernatural info at Salted ‘n Burned.

I’ll be moving some updates over here and will also be working on the image gallery.

Thank you to Shock Till You Drop for the information!

Plot details are in for Supernatural’s fifth season episode “Dark Side of the Moon” written by Andrew Dabb and Daniel Loflin.

Ambushed by angry hunters, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) are shot and killed and sent to Heaven. Castiel (Misha Collins) warns Dean that Zachariah (guest star Kurt Fuller) is looking for them in Heaven so they need to lay low while searching for an angel named Joshua (guest star Roger Aaron Brown) who can help them since he talks directly to God. While searching for Joshua, the brothers run into some old friends and family members.

Jeff Woolnough directed this chapter.

Ask Ausiello has posted a “Supernatural” spoiler.

Question: I’ll send you some birthday cake if you give me some Supernatural scoop about the 100th episode. —Annie
Ausiello: In the milestone episode, airing April 15,”a very important character will sacrifice themselves in a suicide mission,” reveals exec producer Sera Gamble. “We definitely kept in mind that this was [an important] episode. We wanted to deliver something with real scope; it’s about the Archangel Michael. Crises will come to a head for Dean and Castiel. And you’ll see characters you never thought you’d see again.”

Jared Padalecki has revealed that he shares a bond with his on-screen Supernatural brother Jensen Ackles. Speaking to SFX, the 27-year-old actor – Sam Winchester in the teen drama – said that the pair have “a whole lot in common”.

“We pretty famously, since day one, have understood each other and gotten along. We’re both middle children from Texas, and our families are strong and happy, and we just have a whole lot in common. He’s a low-key guy, like me. We’re here to make a show and we’re playing pretend for a living, so we’ve always had a fun rapport and it’s been nice because it’s pretty much me and him all day, every day, so if we clashed it’d be really uncomfortable for the 125 people that work on this set.”

Padalecki added that his bond with Ackles “has grown stronger” over the years. Supernatural continues on Thursdays at 9pm on The CW. (Source)
