Its thirteenth will take the series beyond the 264 episodes currently in its arsenal and will see the boys continue to fight demons, ghosts, and monsters.

This award-winning comedy from The CW has been breaking some serious ground for shows of this type. Starring Gina Rodriguez, one girl has to now raise a child after being artificially inseminated.
