Supernatural fans showed up in full force at CCXP in São Paulo this week, proving that even four years after the show’s finale, the Winchester universe still commands a loyal — and very loud — following. The partial cast reunion, reported by The Hollywood Reporter, saw Misha Collins, Kathryn Newton, Jim Beaver, Rob Benedict and longtime director Richard Speight Jr. take the stage to celebrate two decades of the beloved series.
A Packed Hall, A Missing Duo, and a Whole Lot of Nostalgia
The crowd inside São Paulo Expo erupted the moment the panel began, with fans singing along to Kansas’ “Carry on Wayward Son” — a tradition the Supernatural family never lets go of.
Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, the iconic Winchester brothers, weren’t present, but the energy didn’t dip for a second. With Castiel, Claire, Bobby Singer and God himself (in Rob Benedict’s show persona) onstage, fans were treated to memories, jokes and a few surprise moments.
Misha Collins joked about the difference between the show’s global fandom and its domestic visibility:
“When we’re back home in the U.S., nobody pays any attention to us anymore,” he told the crowd. “But here, there must be a lag or something because you still know what Supernatural is.”
The room roared.
A Monster Question Turns Political — and Sparks the Loudest Cheer of the Night
During the fan Q&A, someone asked Kathryn Newton what monster she’d like to fight if Supernatural ever offered Claire her own spinoff. Newton chose dragons — a classic Claire answer.
But Misha Collins saw an opening.
“You mean like, what kind of evil monster character would we want to go up against?” he clarified before delivering the line that sent CCXP into chaos:
“I think it’d be fun to take on Donald Trump.”
The crowd exploded into cheers, prompting Collins to laugh and add, “We’ve found our people. So, not a big MAGA crowd here?”
The moderator quickly shifted the conversation to a video presentation, moving past the political moment — but the audience reaction had already made its mark.
What Could Claire Be Doing Now? Kathryn Newton Has Thoughts
Before the political jab, Newton had addressed a question about where Claire might be today. Her answer fit perfectly into the Supernatural legacy:
“I’m sure Claire’s out there, still kicking ass and taking names. There’s always going to be monsters, and somebody’s always got to find them.”
Fans cheered — an acknowledgment that even years later, the show’s characters live on in their imaginations.
Final Words
The CCXP reunion proved something Supernatural fans have said for nearly 20 years: the family doesn’t end with the show. Even without the Winchesters onstage, the panel delivered nostalgia, humor, unexpected political spice and a reminder of why the series still resonates worldwide.
