It was a family affair at Supernatural‘s San Diego Comic-Con panel on Sunday, with Mary Winchester’s return the hot topic during the session.K

Mom’s comeback “presents a dynamic that we haven’t had in quite a while — or ever,” Jensen Ackles previewed. “When mom left, Sam was a baby and Dean was a child. The children that she knew are now men, so the relationship is kind of nonexistent because there isn’t one. It’s an interesting situation, them trying to bridge that massive gap.”

Since Mary wasn’t around for most of the boys’ lives, “She’s been mythologized to them,” executive producer Andrew Dabb said. “[But] she has a lot in common with them [as hunters]. She’ll be coming back into that.” (It might not necessarily be a happy return to hunting, though. A teaser trailer for Season 12 featured Mary telling Dean, “I never wanted this for you and Sam.”)

Although having a mother “is something they deeply want,” the brothers “more than anybody else understand that family can be a vulnerability” and lead to an attack, the EP continued.

“We find out more about what family means and how you become family,” Jared Padalecki shared. Sam and Dean with their mother are starting anew. Does blood make you family, or is it more than just DNA?”

Castiel, knowing how important Mary is in Dean and Sam’s origin story, also has a “very specific response to her” and “a very cool” bond with her of his own, Dabb previewed. Added his portrayer Misha Collins: “There’s an interesting little dynamic between the two of us because in a way, we’re outsiders.”

For actress Samantha Smith, returning as Mary has been a treat. “There’s a lot to consider — being dead, now alive with a big gap in the middle,” she shared. “My sons are now older and taller than I am…. I’ve always loved Mary and to be able to experience her from a whole different perspective is incredibly fun for me.”

Other highlights from the panel:

* Season 12’s family theme will also be explored via Crowley and Rowena. “There’s a hint that my family dynamic may be returning in a slightly more expanded scale, so I’m looking forward to seeing how that turns out — because it never turns out well,” actor Mark Sheppard said. Ruth Connell, who plays Crowley’s mom, predicted their relationship will go “downhill fast.” As for what the power-hungry witch is after next season, Dabb shared, “She’s gone in a different direction… She’s taking a step back [and asking herself], ‘Is this something I really want to do?'” But of course, “she gets drawn back into” in the mayhem. Meanwhile, Crowley wants “revenge” against Lucifer (hey there, Rick Springfield!) for humiliating him. (The scene with Crowley licking the floor was improvised!)

* On the topic of how you follow up a season featuring God and The Darkness, EP Robert Singer said, “We can’t top all that, so we’re going to try to get back to basics a little bit, tell smaller stories. Some good old-fashioned horror stories.”

* “We find out more about the Men of Letters and their worldwide society,” Padalecki previewed. “We’ll learn more about what she wants for themselves and from Sam and Dean.” But as seen in the Season 11 cliffhanger, in which Lady Toni shot Sam, “They’re not off to a great start.”

* “Cas is back to a little bit Cas from Season 4,” Collins revealed. “He’s got much of his mojo, not all of it. I think his wings are still broken. He’s angry. He’s in a fighting spirit. He’s after Lucifer.”

* Sheriff Jody, Donna, Claire, Alex and Crowley’s son Gavin will all be back.

* When asked about the birthday photo he sent to Padalecki, of their kids as the next generation of hunters, Ackles said his daughter calls Padalecki’s sons not her friends, but “my boys,” so “we might not have a choice in the matter” regarding their offspring continuing “in the family business.”

Supernatural Season 12 premieres Thursday, Oct. 13 at 9/8c on The CW

I hope this isn't another season of filler episodes.

 

[Sawyer]

If you're talking something like a season 5-6 shift, I don't think we're in for that again, but I guess time will tell.

I meant season 10. A bunch of filler and small B.S. with very little in the way of a season arc and no big bad.

Eh. I certainly hope it isn't that all over again. Play their cards right, and I feel like the larger entity of the Men of Letters could serve as the big bad. I hope it's not something they just shrug off after a few episodes.

 

[Kathemy]

I really wonder how many seasons this one can go. Twenty?

 

[slimshady247]

13 would be a nice place to end it with regard to numerology. Especially since they blew their "Chuck is god" load in 11.

Adam Rose Returning to Supernatural to Help Fight Hitler

Supernatural is bringing back Adam Rose for a war with the Fuhrer. TV Line reports that Rose is reprising his role as Aaron Bass from season eight’s “Everybody Hates Hitler” for the upcoming season. Aaron’s grandfather was a member of the Judah Initiative, a a secret society of Rabbis who used the occult to protect the Jewish people. He inherited a Golem and became a member of the Initiative in the episode.

Rose will play the role in the fifth episode this season, which will also feature the return of the Thule Society — a group of secret Nazi occultists who warred with the Judah Initiative. Showrunner Andre Dabb teased the return of the Society earlier to TV Line, saying, “[They] want to enact their master plan and bring back Hitler. Sam and Dean are going to fight Hitler, and that’s opening up some interesting doors for us in terms of just doing some more crazy stuff.”

 

[Marvolo]

God, could you imagine if a supernatural reanimated Hitler became the big bad of the season...

 

[ravn0s]

i wonder if they'll have the antichrist show up again this season.

Seems like they have an end goal in mind and its a little ways down the road:

But the key to living such a long life — besides coming back from the dead, of course — is never looking too far down the line. For Ackles and Padalecki, their focus is on the next milestone: hitting 300 episodes. “In a marathon, I keep my sights on that next mile, wherever that might be,” Ackles says. “And 300’s a good number to work for.”

Episode 300 would take the show 13 episodes into season 14, or all the way through season 14 if they did a shortened season, something Ackles and executive producer Bob Singer have talked about as a potential option. “We talked about wanting to be able to know when our end was, and if it was to be, let’s say, 300 episodes, we could tell a 13-episode story,” Singer says. “I think it would be bad for this show to just ride off in the sunset without a finale. I think we’ve earned that. I don’t know what that finale is, but we’d certainly like to do one.”

[Prison Mike]

Who's rooting for a Castiel/Mary hookup?

 

[Morg]

Sam can't handle a water torture??

 

[Prison Mike]

I thought he handled it well. He's still human after all so he's not immune to cold water

 

[LoganGambit87]

so this group just wants to teach american hunters how to hunt better and their idea is to kidnap and torture Sam lol

 

[Visceral]

not the strongest opening. this arc hasnt really grabbed m. but im glad the brothers are back.

 

[Sawyer]

I thought it was good. Definitely not the weakest premiere they've done. *looks at S10*

Who's rooting for a Castiel/Mary hookup?

Literally just you.

 

[Lighthouse]

I really don't buy this secret British Men of Letters has been there all this time,(which is apparently so great they've kept supernatural crime down to zero since the 1960s) and suddenly after several apocalyptic events decides now to show up. Then they go ahead with a really bad plan to torture him, even though Sam has had it done to him so many times I can't count.

Also, this whole drama with Mama Winchester coming back from the dead, and "I didn't want this for you.... and wawa" I don't give a crap. This type of drama from Supernatural is so very stale, almost as stale as the bad guy being "I'm going to beat the crap out of these guys and gloat about it, and not even bother checking on the person in the ca....*stab*"
