More than five years after Supernatural aired its controversial and widely critiqued final episode, the long-running fantasy series continues to inspire the kind of loyalty that most television shows can only dream about. Fans still regularly pack convention halls to hear stories from the cast, revisit favorite episodes, and celebrate characters who left a lasting impression across the show’s 15 seasons.
During a panel at Big Lick Comic Con NOVA moderated by Collider’s Maggie Lovitt, Amara and Rowena actors Emily Swallow and Ruth Connell spent time reflecting on their experiences joining the beloved series and becoming part of its famously devoted fandom. Eventually, one audience member asked a question about the future of the franchise that sparked an unexpected pitch. During the fan Q&A portion of the panel, one attendee asked a simple question: when is Supernatural going to get its own version of The Boys called The Girls? The suggestion immediately drew a laugh from the audience and an enthusiastic response from both actresses. Connell said:
“I love that question, I think The Girls is a great idea.”
Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.
💊The Matrix
🔥Mad Max
🌧️Blade Runner
🏜️Dune
🚀Star Wars
01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.
02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.
04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.
05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.
06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.
07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.
08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.
Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.
Emily Swallow and Ruth Connell Want a Female-Led ‘Supernatural’ Series Called ‘The Girls’

Swallow was equally supportive, calling it “an excellent question” before offering her own thoughts on what such a project could look like. Rather than simply creating a direct counterpart to The Boys using women from the Supernatural cast, she suggested that a hypothetical series called The Girls could head in a completely different direction while still focusing on characters from the Supernatural universe.
There is, of course, a sizable and obvious connection between the two existing franchises. Supernatural was originally created by Eric Kripke, who now serves as the creative force behind The Boys, which just finished its five-season run on Prime Video. Connell even referenced Kripke while discussing the idea, noting that he remains heavily involved with The Boys. “I did make a slight complaint that a lot of the guys had been in The Boys but none of the women, but [Kripke just said] he respects the women too much to make them do The Boys,” joked Connell. Swallow, meanwhile, seemed more interested in imagining what a completely different type of show could look like if it ever carried the title The Girls.
The discussion also highlighted something that continues to make Supernatural stand out among genre television fandoms. Even years after the series concluded, fans remain deeply invested in its world and characters. Whether The Girls stays a convention joke or not, the idea stands as a fun reminder that the cast still enjoys thinking about the future of the franchise just as much as the fans do.
