A Supernatural reboot seems inevitable.

Here is how the show can return while still honoring years of canon.

Supernaturalgave Sam and Dean Winchestera final ending with season 15.

Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) in the Supernatural finale.

The Impaled Dean Was A Shifter

As unlikely as this would be, stranger things have happened inSupernatural.

If the Dean who was impaled was a Shifter, then that means the real Dean is missing.

Additionally, being impaled by a material that isnt silver wouldnt be enough to kill the Shifter.

So, Sam would have to deal with the Shifter and find his brother to kick off the reboot.

Honestly, the show doesnt really need to give a perfect explanation.

In Sams case, Castiel later confessed that he grabbed Sam in a moment of hubris.

The final scene already seems like it hints at Castiel returning.

Plus, Jack likely sees Sam, Dean, and Castiel as family after all they went through together.

If it happened between Deans death and Sams death, it wouldnt necessarily change the current canon.

The biggest factor would be when Deans death happens in relation to Castiels possible return.

Supernaturalhas a dedicated fanbase, and that can help ease the potential stress that comes with planning a reboot.

Regardless of how a reboot starts, theres sure to be no shortage of fans excited forSupernaturalto return.
