The first vaguely substantive spoilers for the Season 8 mytharc, from Bob Singer in the Comic Con issue of TV Guide.


* Will season 8 hinge on Sam trying to save Dean from Purgartory? “No,” Singer answers. An amount of time passes before Dean finds his way back from Purgatory (not specified how long). They’re planning on doing various flashbacks through the season showing what happened and what Sam did in that time while Dean was away.

* Why use flashbacks? Because fans usually hate it when the brothers are separated, so that’s why they’re being reunited quickly.

* What about Castiel? They’re still framing that out, but Cas will be back a number of times.

* Will Kevin the Prophet be back? “Kevin is an integral part of the year.”

* What does Crowley want with Kevin? The King of Hell needs someone to read the word of God. “Every year we start with a theme – this is our "Raiders of The Lost Ark” year. This season-long story will be a quest. It’s about Kevin and the tablets and the Word of God.“

* They would like guest characters like Sheriff Mills, Charlie and Garth back, but nothing is concrete yet. "And there’s one new character that we’re talking about. It’s a monster that Dean meets in Purgatory.”

* Who will be the big bad this season? It’s another angels and demons year. “It’s not apocalyptic but about who can gain control and keep demons in Hell or angels in Heaven.”


* Former producer Jeremy Carver, who exec produced the U.S verison of Being Human, is returning to Supernatural as your new co-showrunner. Will fans notice anything different?

“No. Jeremy gave us a couple of years on the show, so I do think this season will be a little less earnest and a little more the kind of stuff we did in Seasons 2 and 3, before the weight of all the mythology got us.”
