Eric Kripke On Supernatural: I Created Bobby Singer Because The Original Actress “Wasn’t Available”
Supernatural played a major role in redefining the fantasy genre. With its brilliant blend of horror and high-stakes family drama, the show quickly gained a huge fan following. Over the course of 15 years and 15 seasons, it became a cultural phenomenon, setting the standard for other shows that followed.
At the core of Supernatural’s success was Eric Kripke, whose remarkable storytelling gave the audience something to wait for every week. But just like any great creative journey, there were moments of improvisation in Supernatural as well that turned out perfectly for the show. One of these moments was the creation of Bobby Singer.

Originally, Kripke wanted to bring back Missouri Mosley. But when the actress who played her declined the offer due to scheduling conflicts, Kripke created the gruff, whiskey-loving hunter Bobby Singer.
