The arrest comes after the news that Supernatural is coming to an end after Season 15.
The series, which premiered in 2005, follows brothers Sam (Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) Winchester, who face an increasingly sinister landscape as they hunt monsters.
In a video message posted on March 22, Padalecki, Ackles, and co-star Misha Collins, who plays Castiel, announced the end of the series.
“Though we are very, very excited about moving into our 15th season,” Ackles said, “it will be our last. Fifteen years of a show that has certainly changed my life.”
“We wanted you to hear from us that although we’re excited about next year,” Ackles said, “it will be the finale. The big grand finale of an institution.”
Padalecki added: “We cried some tears and we’ll cry some more… We will work all the emotion into next season.”
The series, which is the longest-running series on the CW, was renewed for Season 15 in January.
