In the afterlife, he is met by Bobby Singer as he drives down the Highway to Heaven on his iconic Impala with a song blasting in the background.

Although it was a complete end, fans felt betrayed by the showrunner and the writer of the show. As per the writer Andrew Dabb, the original ending was supposed to be quite grandiose.
What The Original Ending ofSupernaturalWas Going To Be
Following similar lines, the original ending ofSupernaturalwas similar to the ending that aired. However, there was one small change that could have improved it by a lot.
According to a report byCollider, writer Andrew Dabb stated that the original ending was going to be on an epic scale. The writer revealed that although the ending followed a similar pattern to what was aired, the location and the characters were supposed to be different.
Dean was always going to end up in Heaven, and we were always going to see Sam’s life in fast-forward. But those final moments were supposed to take place somewhere else. When [co-showrunner Robert Singer] and I sat down to talk about Season 15, and our inevitable end, we came up with something that felt like a fitting version of Sam and Dean’s Heaven.
He further continued,
I have to admit that I sometimes think about our original idea — all of Sam and Dean’s family and friends, and one of the greatest rock bands ever on a masterpiece of a set, and I miss it … even though it never really existed.
The rock band Kansas known forSupernatural‘s unofficial theme song“Carry On Wayward Son”was supposed to appear. Fans, however, were disappointed with howcharacters like Misha Collin’s Castiel weren’t given enough attentionduring the final moments of the show.
