The Singer and Dabb era covers Season 12 through Season 15 when Andrew Dabb became co-showrunner with Robert Singer following the departure of Jeremy Carver.
This era introduces a new central character, the nephilim Jack Kline, son of Lucifer. Having the potential to surpass the powers of an archangel, Jack's existence has caught the attention of different organizations, major powers, and, even beings from alternate realities and dimensions. Sam, Dean and Castiel took Jack under their wing, fending off multiple enemies while also ensuring Jack learns to control his powers and use them for good. The interactions between alternate universes eventually culminate into the intervention of cosmic powers Billie as the new Death, the Shadow, the Darkness, and a confrontation with God.
| “ | If Season 12 was about children coming to terms with their moms as adults, then Season 13 is very much about Sam and Dean as parents. | ” |

| “ | What's bigger than God? The answer is nothing. So after we did that, it was really about new directions that we could take our characters that will give them new things to react to? This opens up a lot of storytelling ideas in that way. | ” |
— Andrew Dabb on the alternate universe in Season 13 [2]

| “ | I think Season 14 is going to be a little less broad in scope and a little more emotional, more personal stories about the guys. | ” |
— Robert Singer on Season 14 [3]

| “ | I think the show has always been about keeping fighting and hope and all that [and] we don’t want to lose that in our last season. I feel no pressure to end this in an open-ended way. Should “Supernatural” come back, most likely that’s going to be somebody else’s problem. [Executive producer] Bob Singer and I have said from the beginning we’re writing a true ending to this show. It’s not like something is going to happen to Sam and Dean and then we pull back from the shadows and out steps Jeffrey Dean Morgan. That’s not the game we’re playing. | ” |
