Season Eight Spoilers

Melissa: You’ve been lacking on the Supernatural scoop! Make it up to us, please?

While Misha Collins is set to appear in “a minimum of eight” episodes, per CW president Mark Pedowitz, it seems like fans will only be seeing him (at least in the beginning of the season) in flashbacks to purgatory. “You’re certainly going to see more of him in terms of understanding what happened in purgatory, and that’s as far as we’re going, because it’s fairly significant what happened in purgatory,” new showrunner Jeremy Carver teases of Castiel’s role in season eight. As for Dean’s mental state post-purgatory and if it will at all resemble his post-hell experience in season four? “Purgatory has a very different effect—and different types of beings that are down there,” Carver tells us. “Just because he’s driven and he’s very into hunting, it doesn’t mean all is well.”

Question: Any Supernatural scoop about the Dean-Castiel dynamic? —Joyce

Ausiello: “That is something that we explore heavily throughout the season through some pretty extensive flashbacks into purgatory,” reveals new showrunner Jeremy Carver. “People are always referring to purgatory as hell, and purgatory is not hell. Purgatory is a really brutal, free-wheeling place, but it has different effects on different people. It will have a different effect on Cas and Dean as you already started to see [in the Season 7 finale]. But I will say what you think you saw might not be exactly what you saw.”

Tabitha: I’ll take anything you’ve got on the new season of Supernatural!

Mythology fans, prepare to geek out. In Supernatural’s third episode of the season, we’ll meet Plutus, the host of a high-end auction who likes the bids to go higher and higher (how fitting considering Plutus is the God of wealth?), and Mr. Vili, who is after one of the auction’s items and will do anything it takes to get it. In Norse mythology, Vili is one of the three gods of creation.

Supernatural has tapped Ty Olsson (Battlestar Galactica, Men in Trees) to join the show’s eighth season in a pivotal recurring role.  Olsson, who also starred as 9/11 hero Mark Bingham in the A&E telepic Flight 93, will play Benny, a dark and dangerous vampire who helps Dean escape from purgatory.

Fun fact: This is not the first time Olsson has appeared on Supernatural. In Season 2, he guest starred as a vampire named Eli.

In the special Comic Con edition of TV Guide, Ileane Rudolph asked executive producer Robert Singer for some scoop on season 8.

Will Season 8 hinge on Sam trying to save Dean from Purgatory?

No, we pick up the season a little bit down the line and Dean will have made his way back from Purgatory.  We will do flashbacks through the season as to what happened there and what Sam did in the time that Dean was away.

Your fans usually hate it when the brothers are separated.  Is that why they’re back together so soon?

We’re aware of that, so we decided to tell their stories in flashbacks and have them relate to the current story.  The fact that the boys are going to be together pretty quickly was, we thought, a good thing.

When Castiel and Dean wound up in Purgatory, Cas did his angel disappearing act.  Will Misha Collins go missing from Supernatural again?

We’re just framing our ideas now, but our intention is to have Cas back a number of times.

Will Kevin the Prophet be back?

Kevin [played by Osric Chau] is an integral part of the year.

Crowley’s got him in his clutches.  Any hints what he’s up to?… Read More

Thomas: I need some Supernatural season-eight info!

Wait, you mean the fact that we exclusively told you that Jensen Ackles’ father Alan Ackles will be guest-starring on the show isn’t enough awesomeness for you? Fine, how about that fans can expect to meet the darkly handsome Benny, who is an easy-going, no-B.S. kind of fellow…with a bit a savage side deep down, of course. Think Johnny Cash meets Benicio Del Toro. We’re sold!
