At this year’s Saturn Awards, I managed to get a few minutes with Eric Kripke on the red carpet before the show began. As the creator of Supernatural and one of the creators of the upcoming NBC time travel show Timeless, he was in attendance to receive The Dan Curtis Legacy Award for being “one of the most successful and sought-after showrunners in television today.”

During the interview, Kripke talked about the success of Supernatural, how long the show can last, its popularity around the world, and more. In addition, we chatted about Timeless, how it’s influenced by Quantum Leap, gearing up for 13 episodes but hoping to do 22, and wanting to make a show that feels like a an early Steven Spielberg movie and making time travel fun again. Check out what he had to say in the video above, and see the full list of topics we cover below. Timeless premieres on NBC Monday, October 3rd.
