SPN spoilers for season 6 or god i hate filing
Returning for its sixth season, this haunting series follows Sam and Dean Winchester, two brothers bound by tragedy and blood to their dangerous, other-worldly mission. This past season, Dean and Sam faced their toughest foe yet: the Devil himself. As the Apocalypse raged on around them, the brothers, aided only by a dwindling band of fellow hunters and rebel angel Castiel, sought a way to stop Lucifer and save the planet. Ultimately, they discovered a way to force Lucifer back into Hell and end the Apocalypse - but at tremendous cost: Sam’s life. Season 6 will be a season of mystery and shadow. Heaven and Hell have been left in complete disarray since the apocalyptic events of Season 5. And now, monsters, angels and demons roam across a lawless and chaotic landscape. And so Dean Winchester, who has retired from hunting and sworn never to return, finds himself being pulled back into his old life - pulled back by none other than Sam Winchester, who has escaped from Hell. The two reunite to beat back the rising tide of creatures and demon-spawn, but they quickly realize that neither are who they used to be, their relationship isn’t what it used to be, and that nothing is what it seems. The series stars Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester, Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester and Misha Collins as Castiel. "Supernatural" is from Warner Bros. Television in association with Wonderland Sound and Vision, with executive producers McG (“Nikita,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “The O.C.”), Eric Kripke (“Boogeyman”), Robert Singer (“Midnight Caller”), Sera Gamble, Ben Edlund and Phil Sgriccia.
Okay, so not monster of the week. Good, and apparently there's also a time jump forward of a couple of years. Not so thrilled about that. I'm guessing that the final scene of 5.22 was that time jump and Dean's still with Lisa. I don't hate this idea, like a lot of fans, but I would have liked to see the progression of the relationship. They looked pretty susie homemaker for a "lawless and chaotic landscape" though, and, hey, the power's still on.
There's a lot of speculation that the cast list is a retool of last season. Until I've seen proof that Misha's signed for next year, I'm not holding my breath, though it sounds likely since the above mentions the mess in heaven, too. Now if they'll just resurrect Gabriel to help out in heaven, I'll be a happy camper. I mean, they're seriously down in number on archangels. *g*
Also, the show is moving to Fridays.
Well, pooh. I suppose it'll be after Smallville. I work Friday nights so no watching this live. :P Also, it was a good match for Vampire Diaries. Why move it?!
