Supernatural‘s fifth, and perhaps last, season premieres soon. Very soon. Sept. 10 soon, in fact.
There’s been lots of news tidbits here and there over the summer, but the most exciting of all, IMHO, came out of Comic-Con. Warning, there are some spoilers, but nothing that should spoil your viewing enjoyment, I think. Even so, be forewarned.
Sci-fi uber-site io9 talked to producer Sera Gamble and showrunner Eric Kripke at Comic-Con last month, and they confirmed that Season 5 is a big ol’ stew of apocalypse. We ended last season with Satan himself escaping from Hell, thanks to a completely duped Sam Winchester.
I would imagine, however, that the Devil is not quite as we might expect, given the twists SPN writers have given us on the angels and demons to this point. Though, to give Dean credit, Ruby was pretty much a horrible, evil demon who was using Sam. There is that.
Anyway, Gamble said Lucifer would be “very nice and likable.” Which actually makes sense. Because how else do you think he could get people to follow him? Through fear? It has seemed to this point that the God in the world of Supernatural is the one who rules through fear.
