I had heard that Jensen had said something in his coffee lounge on Saturday about
season 8 being a possibility, so I asked Jared about it. He started explaining in great detail how a TV show gets picked up and stays on air, and which part the network and the studio play in it (which was all stuff I already knew, but hey, I didnt wanna interrupt

) and went on saying that Dawn Ostroff hadnt been a big fan of the show (oh, really?) but now that she has been fired (he said hes pretty sure the network allowed her to save face and say she resigned, but he thinks she was fired because she just didnt do a great job), the tables have finally turned.
The CWs new president is a big fan of the show and practically the first thing he did was approach them and ask them if they were willing to stay on for an additional season if the network decided to order one (since their contracts run out after season 7). Both Jared and Jensen expressed their interest and Jared said as long as the show doesnt get stupid which he thinks wont happen because they have great writers hes happy to stay on. (I just wanna say: this does NOT mean that season 8 is a sure thing, it just means that if The CW decides next year that they wanna order an additional season, both Jared and Jensen seem willing to renew their contracts!!)
