‘Supernatural’ Officially Returns With 2 New Spin-Offs for Sam & Dean
Dynamite Comics has announced that the Supernatural franchise is returning in October 2026 with two new interconnected comic-book series, splitting up brothers Sam and Dean Winchester for the first time. The series, titled Supernatural: Dean Winchester and Supernatural: Sam Winchester, mark an expansion of the show's legacy beyond the screen, continuing its afterlife through comics following its television conclusion. The move represents one of the more significant attempts to keep the Supernatural universe alive for fans since the original series ended.
The two titles will follow each brother separately after they are divided by an unspecified incident in an upcoming one-shot called Supernatural Special: Wayward, which will set up the split. Despite running as standalone books, the Dean and Sam series are designed to overlap and interconnect, in what Dynamite is describing as its most ambitious Supernatural project to date.
In short
- Dynamite launches two new Supernatural comic series in October 2026.
- Sam and Dean Winchester are separated after an incident in a one-shot.
- The interconnected titles form Dynamite's most ambitious Supernatural project yet.
Explained simply
Supernatural is an American television series that ran for fifteen seasons, following brothers Sam and Dean Winchester as they hunt demons, ghosts and other monsters. The show became a cultural phenomenon with a devoted global fanbase, running from 2005 until 2020.
The franchise is now continuing through comic books published by Dynamite Comics, starting in October 2026. For the first time, the two brothers will pursue separate stories in two new series, though these stories will connect with each other and will follow an event that divides them.
The move reflects the enduring appeal of the Supernatural universe and the appetite from fans to explore new stories beyond the television series. Comics have become a common way for studios to extend popular franchises, allowing them to reach dedicated audiences and keep characters and worlds alive for those who want more.
