10 TV Characters Who Died In 2020

6. Sam & Dean Winchester - Supernatural

Altered Carbon Anthony Mackie
The CW

Supernatural finally came to an end with its 15th season this year, and in its series finale "Carry On" gave brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) a fittingly final send-off.

First off, Dean ends up dying after being mortally impaled by a spike. He then lands in Heaven, reunites with Bobby (Jim Beaver), and takes the Impala for a ride while blaring out "Carry On Wayward Son".

As for Sam, he lives out the rest of his natural life, settles down with a family, names his son Dean, and dies of old age.

In the afterlife, Sam is reunited with Dean on the bridge from the series' first-ever episode, while both of them are wearing the very same clothes from that episode in fact.

Though the finale was undeniably impacted by the pandemic and had some issues - namely Sam's ridiculous old man makeup - it nevertheless brought the show to a fittingly affecting ending. If you didn't cry, were you even a Supernatural fan at all?
