Once Eric Kripke, the creator of the CW series Supernatural, decided to step down as showrunner after five seasons the position was given to Sera Gamble. However, we the fans feel that writer and executive producer, Ben Edlund, is more suited for the position of showrunner. Or at least should be given more say in the creative direction within the show, particularly for its upcoming seventh season.
Edlund isn't just considered a fan favorite, he's also a fantastic writer whose episodes remain consistent to the mythology of the show (ex. 4.16 "On The Head Of A Pin", 5.04 "The End" and 6.20 "The Man Who Would Be King", which he also directed, are just a few of the most memorable episodes he's written), he respects the story and its characters and manages to balance the two while making progression of furthering plots and arcs that are presented each season. His writing has made us laugh, cry, our hearts break, and his brilliant mind goes above and beyond normal expectations. Fans trust his creative vision and always look forward to his episodes.
This petition is to help get the word out that fans would rather have Edlund take creative control over the show and hopefully, with its seventh season, get it back on its feet.
We, the undersigned, call on Eric Kripke and the CW network to consider Ben Edlund as showrunner for the seventh season of Supernatural.
