Jeremy Carver To Step In As Co-Showrunner At ‘Supernatural’
Posted about 6 hours ago by Jason Bowles0
Sera Gamble, one of the showrunners on the program ‘Supernatural‘ has opted not to renew her contract and has instead chosen to focus her energy on development. Gamble has been with the CW show since its beginning, running the show for the last two seasons along with fellow showrunner Robert Singer, who will remain with the program.
Stepping into her role will be Jeremy Carver (right), of Syfy’s ‘Being Human,’ which he co-executive produced and developed along with his wife Anna Fricke. Fricke will remain at ‘Being Human’ and will run the show solo.
Carver does have a history with ‘Supernatural’ having served as a co-producer, writer and story editor during the 2009-10 season, before departing for ‘Being Human,’ which he developed along with Fricke, based on the British original series. He will maintain his “Executive Producer” credit on that show.
Previously, ‘Supernatural’ was run by its creator, Eric Kripke, who stepped down from the position in 2010, which was when Gamble and Singer took over day-to-day duties. He remains an “Executive Consultant.”
For those unsure of what all this means, a showrunner generally outranks a director. While a director crafts individual episodes of a television program, the show runner is tasked with running the overall, day-to-day aspects of a series. The showrunner is in charge of managing and guiding the entire series.
‘Being Human’ has been growing in its popularity and Carver already has a history with ‘Supernatural’, so by all accounts this should be a smooth transition. What do you all think of this staffing change?

I have to say, I am happy. I like Gamble as a writer, but as a showrunner she has completely failed imo. She had two seasons and most likely even a third one and instead of planning a storyline which could have been well developed in three years, she just got by.

I LOVE Carver, i've pratically loved every episode he has written and unlike Gamble he has been a showrunner in another show so he knows how to make things work. And since Being Human US has already been renewed for another season he could have stayed in that show if he didn't have some good ideas for SPN. So i'm totally optimistic for season 8 and curious to see where Carver will take us.

Let's bring the optimism on!!!
