Hell to the yes, Supernatural fans!

We just talked to CW president Dawn Ostroff, and she is boldly optimistic about bringing SPN back for a seventh season. Would you CW Kremlinologists care to parse her exact words? Of course you would, so here they are:

Ostroff told us exclusively, "We haven't officially picked anything up yet, but [Supernatural] is creatively doing so well—and it's doing better on Friday night than it was on Thursday night—so I can't imagine we won't pick it up."

The network boss praised season-six show runner Sera Gamble, noting, "Sera's done a fantastic job this year. She's done an excellent job creatively."

"Our network team works with the Supernatural team very closely," says Ostroff, but the two sides have not yet engaged in any talks about a season-seven myth arc. "No, it's too far out. We haven't started talking about next year, but I'd be shocked if we didn't pick it up."

That's a nice vote of confidence, wouldn't you say? Would you be happy to see SPN season seven, or are you ready to say goodbye to the brothers Winchester?
