Supernatural
Supernaturalhelped this major rising star get their big break, something I totally forgot about but is quite fitting.Supernaturalwas and continues to be one of my favorite series, as it is such a unique procedural.
ThoughSupernaturalchanges a lot between seasons 1-15, I felt that the core of the story remained strong even as new monsters and characters graced the screen.Despite its shaky ending, the series still has a strong staying power with its fans years later, myself included.
Supernatural’sseries finalewas able to bring the story of the Winchesters to a close, but the cast continues to shine in other projects, which is so nice to see and demonstrates one of the reasons why this show is still so popular.Between Jensen Ackles' and Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s appearances inThe Boysand Jared Padalecki’sWalker,the cast continues to showcase their talent even as they move away from the horror space.But one MCU and horror star found fame onSupernatural,with season 10 giving her one of her breakout roles that I forgot about: Kathryn Newton.
Supernatural Was One Of Kathryn Newton’s Breakout Roles Before The MCU & Horror Fame
Newton Starred As Claire Novak From Season 10-13
Newton starred as Claire Novak inSupernatural,which turned into one of her breakout roles before she moved to the MCU and horror movie sphere.Claire Novak was the daughter of Jimmy Novak (Misha Collins), who was the acting vessel for Castiel.She only truly becomes one of the establishedsupporting characters onSupernaturalin season 10, reconnecting with the Winchesters and slowly learning to trust them and Castiel.
They have a rocky start since Claire blames them for everything that continues to go wrong in her life, such as the death of her surrogate father Randy (Roark Critchlow).
Her development as a hunter, her budding relationship with Kaia (Yadira Guevara-Prip), and her newfound family were so moving, and it was tragic that we did not get to see more of her story inWayward Sisters.

However, Claire slowly grows closer to the three, forgiving Castiel and moving in with Jody Mills (Kim Rhodes) where she learns to become a hunter.Seeing her growth was one of my favorite parts of the latter seasons ofSupernatural.Her development as a hunter, her budding relationship with Kaia (Yadira Guevara-Prip), and her newfound family were so moving, and it was tragic that we did not get to see more of her story inWayward Sisters.Still, Newton seems to be holding onto those roots, as she has stayed very strongly in the horror sphere sinceSupernatural.
What Kathryn Newton Has Done Since Supernatural
Newton Has Largely Shifted To Doing Movies Over Television
Newton has done several films and a few more television shows sinceSupernatural, largely staying within the horror genre, but also doing some projects outside of it.Right after the series ended, Newton starred in a few different films, including the 2018 comedyBlockers,a far cry from slayingterrifying monsters onSupernatural.
As time went on, though, Newton seemingly found her stride in horror, showcasing her immense talent in the genre as well as her ability to add humor to any scary situation.
Created by Eric Kripke, Supernatural is a fantasy/drama series that premiered in 2005. The series follows the adventures of Dean and Sam Winchester - two men wronged by supernatural beings as children who now spend their days investigating and hunting demons, ghosts, and monsters across the United States.

Despite largely focusing on film, Newton has not completely forgotten her television roots.Newton starred in the drama seriesThe Societyin 2019 as Allie Pressman until the COVID-19 pandemic caused the series to be canceled after one season.She then had a minor role in the thriller seriesBig Little Liesas Abigail Carson during the series' two-season run.
Newton soon rose in the horror genre after that, which is incredibly fitting considering her start onSupernatural,and only makes me more excited about what she will do next.
