Supernatural fans, take a deep breath and repeat after us: It’s the quality — not the quantity — that truly matters.

With that said, TVLine can confirm that the long-running drama will air just 20 episodes next season — down from its traditional 23-episode total. In fact, Season 14’s episode count is the second shortest in the show’s 13-year history, behind only Season 3’s writers’ strike-fueled 16-episode run. May Sweeps 2018: Most Shocking Deaths

It’s not clear why The CW chose to produce three fewer installments next season. A rep for the network declined to comment.

News of the shorter order comes as The CW prepares to expand its Monday-Friday primetime schedule to include a sixth night — Sunday — beginning this fall.

Supernatural is scheduled to return on Thursday, Oct 11 at 8/7c.
