The American fantasy horror television show, “Supernatural” ended its latest season last week. Updates on the next installment revealed that some characters' status in the show will be altered.
“Supernatural” Season 13 Won’t See Much Of Crowley
The CW has greenlighted the renewal of “Supernatural” and confirmed its thirteenth season. The finale of “Supernatural” Season 12 featured the deaths of many characters, including Crowley, who sacrificed his life to seal the rift between the worlds. Because of this, it has been revealed that Mark Sheppard, who portrays the role of Crowley, will not be returning for the next season.
Sheppard was bumped up as a series regular in “Supernatural” Season 10 but with the story’s recent development, he won’t be coming back as a regular cast in the next installment. His departure was confirmed further after Sheppard posted on his official Instagram account, bidding goodbye to his “Supernatural” family and saying that it’s about time he tries something new. However, the announcement only pertains to Sheppard’s role being downgraded and there is a possibility that he will appear sometime in future installments.
“Scooby-Doo” Crossover And The Return Of Castiel
The stars of “Supernatural”, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki revealed that the next season will feature an animated crossover episode starring the characters from “Scooby-Doo”, which will be the 16th episode of “Supernatural” Season 13. At first, fans thought it was a joke but then it was confirmed that it was really happening. Aside from the anticipated crossover, Padalecki has accidentally divulged that an old character will be coming back from the dead.
During The CW’s 2017 Upfronts Presentation, while explaining more about the “Scooby-Doo” crossover, Padalecki slipped and revealed that he, Ackles, and Misha Collins have already done the dialogue for the crossover episode. The slip prompted Padalecki to cover his reaction after accidentally letting out a spoiler and Collins, who plays the role of Castiel, had to take the stage, saying that fans will most likely see the return of Castiel and find out what death has done to him.
