"Supernatural" has plotted a heavy Castiel (Misha Collins) episode in Season 12. In other developments, the CW has released the official sneak peek images for the season opener airing on October.
Fans of Castiel will get a treat in "Supernatural" Season 12. Entertainment Weekly reported that the supernatural crime drama has plotted a Castiel-centric episode which will tackle his past and his journey. Executive producer Andrew Dabb revealed that viewers will see the aforementioned arc unfold in episode 12.
"We're using Castiel in stand-alone episodes in a way that he hasn't been used in a long time," Dabb told the publication.
"That's very heavily about Castiel and the journey he's been on, some things from his past that we're not aware of are getting brought to light."
Meanwhile, the CW has released the official sneak peek images of the premiere of "Supernatural" Season 12 - TV Line has shared. In the first hour, the Winchester brothers remain separated as Sam (Jared Padelecki) is seen being tortured by the British Men of Letters - while Dean (Jensen Ackles) is dealing with the return of their mother. Castiel, for his part, finds himself out on the road with Mary (Samantha Smith) and Sam.
In addition to Castiel's heavy episode, "Supernatural" season 12 will also feature the return of The Thule storyline, Rick Springfield's guest appearance as Lucifer's new vessel and the Winchesters brothers' arc to unearth the secret behind Mary's past.
"Supernatural" Season 12 Episode 1 titled "Keep Calm and Carry On," will air on Thursday, Oct. 13 at 9PM on the CW.
