Fans of Supernatural had mixed reactions to the show's final episode, titled "Carry On." Some were disappointed by Dean's death and the absence of other beloved characters. The original plan for the finale included a larger reunion in Heaven, with many former cast members making an appearance, including the rock band Kansas. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the series had to make changes and rewrite certain episodes.

Despite the challenges, the show managed to conclude in the best way possible given the circumstances. The sequel series, The Winchesters, provided a potentially better ending for Dean and expanded the universe further.

Supernatural aired its final episode on November 19, 2020, after fifteen seasons and 327 episodes. However, fans may not be aware that Dean's arrival in Heaven was not initially intended to be a solo act.

The plan was for many former cast members from previous episodes to greet him in the afterlife. Given the show's tendency to bring characters back from the dead, it made sense to have them all reunited in eternity. The final episode showcased Dean's journey into Heaven, where he encountered a rebuilt Harvelle's Roadhouse, his beloved Impala, and the original Bobby Singer. Meanwhile, Sam continued to live a long life on Earth.

The brothers eventually reunited in Heaven, bidding a heartfelt farewell to fans. Although the reviews for the finale were generally positive, there were fans who criticized the way Dean died and the lack of inclusion of other key characters such as Castiel and Eileen. The original plan for the finale was revealed by co-showrunner Andrew Dabb. It involved Dean being greeted in the heavenly Harvelle's Roadhouse by all the people the Winchesters had encountered throughout their journey.
