Production

On April 2, 2018, The CW renewed the series for a fourteenth season. In June, it was revealed that the fourteenth season would contain only 20 episodes, the series' shortest season since the third season which was only 16 episodes due to the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike. Filming for the season began on July 10, 2018, and concluded on March 26, 2019. With Lucifer having been killed at the end of the thirteenth season, actor Mark Pellegrino instead portrayed the role of Nick, Lucifer's former vessel.

Reception

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports an 82% approval rating for Supernaturals fourteenth season, with an average rating of 7.5/10 based on 11 reviews. The site's critics consensus reads, "Supernatural remains engrossing despite its almost spooky longevity, patiently doling out new paranormal challenges in a season that takes the time to reflect on a seismic shift amongst the ensemble's dynamics."
