“We had everyone on the writing staff watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ,” she says. “[Executive producer] Bob [Singer], [series creator] Eric [Kripke] and I were really hungry to capture some of that cowboy, outlaw spirit for Sam and Dean [next season].”

So presumably there’ll be an “on the run” theme going on.

The article also reveals that season seven will find the Winchesters “up against a new foe unlike anything they’ve ever fought.”

Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid has also been an influence on the bromance relationship between Merlin and Arthur in the BBC’s Merlin , the show’s producers have told SFX in interviews.
