Over the weekend , we had a chance to talk to writers , producers , and actors from Supernatural ( yes , we met Sam and Dean ) , and now we know the monstery score . Season 6 will take the Winchesters on a new path . spoiler !
It ’s always a pleasance talking to the Supernatural cast and crew because they ’re all apparently having fun , and seem to share the same off - kilter sense of humor which is key to the show ’s charm . Though Eric Kripke has handed his showrunner job off to Sera Gamble , he is still very much involved with the show . His official deed , he joked , is “ painfulness in the ass . ” But he also tell us a lot about where the account is break down , and how Gamble ’s visual modality is unlike from his .
Where are we when time of year 6 starts ?
The new season starts one yr from the end of time of year 5 . Sam ( Jared Padalecki ) has returned to Earth as a human – Padalecki says he “ has no thought ” how he commence out of Hell , but he ’s tried to stick aside from Dean ( Jensen Ackles ) and let him enjoy family life . But then something happens and the Winchesters have to band together again .
Who will be back this season ?
Other than Sam and Dean , we ’re go to see Castiel , Bobby , Crowley the demon , and Dean ’s family line for sure . peradventure Mary Winchester , the boy ’ female parent , will be back too . There is move to be an entire sequence from Bobby ’s tip of view , called “ Weekend at Bobby ’s , ” manoeuver by Ackles .
behemoth are the major plot arc
Kripke assured us , “ We do have a mythology in store . It ’s a very different vibe than the mythology we ’ve had before . ” He qualify his own story as have a “ Joseph Campbell , Star Wars , and Lord of the Rings sensibility , ” but called season 6 “ more like Chinatown or LA Confidential . ” Gamble ’s visual sensation for the time of year is “ gritty and twisty , and citizenry are n’t who they seem . ”
The major arc of the season , Kripke added , will be monsters , “ exploring who they are and where they come from – do they have soulfulness and where do they go ? ” He assured us this would n’t be monster like in the first season – “ We ’re not going to unleash ‘ Hook Man ’ and ‘ Bugs ’ , ” he joke , referring to two early monster - of - the - hebdomad episodes from the serial . Gamble felt that it would be knockout to discover unexampled demon and angel stories , so that ’s one reason why they turned to monsters , which have always been a major part of the show . Some of the goliath you should expect to see are weres , skinwalkers , vampires , and shapeshifters , which Kripke read are “ strangely related to . ”

The faerie episdode
Kripke and author Ben Edlund promised there would one episode with destiny of faeries and little people too . “ I remember we ’re going to have a Tinkerbell fight ! ” Edlund said with a manaical giggle . Edlund has written some of Supernatural ’s most memorable episode , and admit that he used to construct dwarf house in his backyard . So naturally he has a band planned for the faerie episode , including a lack of political correctness :
It ’s last to be a fragile tightrope walking arrangement to not profoundly infract little people . It ’s extend to be a tesseract – from one end it will be unspoiled to them and nice . From the other end , not so much . In faeirie lore – there ’s the good guys and the unfit ones . We ’re going to deal with the darker faeries , admit the deal - making scene of faerie lore to a degree .
But , he tally , “ faeries are an anomaly – we ’re give-up the ghost to have a circle of freak . ” He explained :
All the critters we ’ve seen will be looked at in a different way . We ’ve been very human centric [ on the show ] because most of our creatures are essentially human in some variety : They ’re ghosts , demons , angels – all of which start out as human . We ’ve only looked at monsters from outside . Who was the monster ’s friend ? What was its name ? We ’re hold out to render that story .
But will it be funny ?
utterly . Ackles tell :
Sometimes I ’m like , “ Really guys ? Lederhosen ? ” We have a expression on set – [ producer ] Bob Singer enjoin , “ No caper too cheap . ” We ’re always looking for the overnice cheap laugh . And this season we have more opportunity for comedic moments .
Sam and Dean will be more like equals
Padalecki said that Sam ’s biggest issue this time of year will be share with having expend time in Hell , and having had Lucifer in his body :
I ’m dealing with Hell . Sam is like Dean was on time of year 1 . He ’s aver , “ Asking questions get me into Hell , ” and now he ’s more interested in the tactically veracious affair to do . He ’s like , “ Let ’s obliterate first , even if it ’s a Kyd ” . Even when he had the monster blood , he was always render to do what was best , but now he ’s like , “ I ’m trying to get the problem done . ” Sam has been to the depth of hell and back and he ’s learning to swear his intincts and hope himself . Now he can go at-bat to cricket bat with Dean because [ he ’s been to Hell ] too . We ’ll be more like compeer . More on par . This year I have a car too . Sam has a nice new [ vintage ] Charger .
Ackles scoffs , “ Sam has a railcar if you require to call it that . There ’s only one car on the show . ”
What ’s sound on in Heaven ?
We got the scoop on Heaven straight from the holy person ’s mouth : Misha Collins , who plays saint Castiel , told us all about it :
Heaven is like post - Soviet Russia . The regime has collapsed into satellites and cabal . Heaven ’s nukes are falling into the wrong hands and Cas is relate about that – he ’s essay to deal with that in a righteous means . He ’s a niggling routine less of Sam and Dean ’s sidekick in back of Impala . He ’s less emotional than in season 5 , overbold than he was .
He ’s not that implicated about the monster in Sam and Dean ’s life . As a bigger mythology is unveil we ’ll start to see the reasons monsters are so prevalent . The family relationship between Heaven , Hell , and the teras activity will be revealed . These worlds are buy the farm to intertwine . We ’re going to see that fetch order to heaven relates to the land of monsters .
Whatever happened to the Antichrist ?
Kripke said :
The Antichrist was a unaffixed thread . We talked about convey him back , but he ’s just too hefty . I like him in Australia . I hate loose thread , too – I was hitting Kroatoan for three year trying to fetch it back .
He ’s not ruling out bringing back the Antichrist at some point in time , as long as they can figure out how to make him into a cat who ca n’t just turn everybody into carrot sticks with a snap of the fingers .
And here ’s where it gets meta
We expect Edlund , the master of meta , what to expect in the elbow room of meta episode like “ The Monster at the End of This Book . ” First he protested that the whole show is meta , and that Warner Brothers is “ like the Cthulhu that ascertain it all . ” But then he admitted they had n’t gotten to plan a meta episode yet : “ Usually the meta episode come later in the season . We build a nonmeta swamp that ’s serious , and float a meta boat on it . ”
But we think there ’s already something smartly meta about taking the classic monster - of - the - calendar week formula and turning it into the seasonal discharge . And that ’s why we ca n’t wait to check next season ’s Supernatural .
