"Supernatural could return for a ninth season, The CW president Mark Pedowitz has confirmed. Pedowitz claimed that there have been &amp;quot;conversations&amp;quot; about the long-term future of the drama, which is due to premiere its eighth run in October.  &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s always conversations that happen,&amp;quot; he said at the Television Critics Association&amp;#039;s summer press tour. &amp;quot;I am a big Supernatural fan - I hope it stays on as long as I&amp;#039;m still here.&amp;quot; Pedowitz added that network execs at The CW are &amp;quot;big believers&amp;quot; in the long-running series, according to TVLine. &amp;quot;The guys are great, the show is great,&amp;quot; he explained. Supernatural star Misha Collins recently told Digital Spy that the size of his role in the show&amp;#039;s eighth season was &amp;quot;to be determined&amp;quot;, but Pedowitz revealed that the actor - who plays angel Castiel - will appear in a &amp;quot;minimum of eight&amp;quot; new episodes. The series returns to The CW in the US on October 3. In the UK, season seven of Supernatural begins airing Wednesday, August 1 on Sky Living. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
