More Spoilers on Supernatural Season 8

 

Hollywood recently spoke to Supernatural EP Jeremy Carver on what to expect in season 8.

 

 Supernatural: Mama Drama for the Boys!

At the end of last year, fans were introduced to Princeton-applicant/Prophet Kevin (Osric Chau), and many will be excited to know that this multi-tasker will be playing a major role as this season progresses. But in episode 2, his presence is going to manifest a different sort of supernatural being for Sam and Dean — a Tiger Mom! Oh yes, you read that correctly.

Since Kevin has been MIA and on the run for over a year, it’s only natural that he’s be worried about his mother. Dean — who, after a year of non-stop battle in Purgatory is now a hardened (and sexy) warrior — doesn’t really care, but Sam approves of Kevin’s mission to bring her up to speed. “Kevin, understandably, is worried about his mother,” Jared Padalecki tells us on the set of Supernatural. “Dean is very much like, ‘Hey, forget about it, we have some work to do. I’m sure she’s fine.’ [But] Kevin is resolute. She’s been compromised, and we have to save her… it puts Dean and Sam in funny situations. There’s a Tiger Mommy quote unquote forced upon us, so we find ourselves in a situation where we’re like, ‘We don’t want to buckle our seatbelt! Just chill out and let us do what we do.’” And they do what they do oh-so well, don’t cha think?

But according to Executive Producer Jeremy Carver, this motherly influence was a long time coming. “Mrs. Tran does something sort of interesting and fun,” he says. “[Her presence] gives the boys, in an odd way, a mother figure that they haven’t had in a long time. It’s a fun dynamic, and it can be a rather moving dynamic. It also gives you a fourth wheel in the car that you have to deal with.” You can check out more Supernatural scoop about tonight’s season premiere right here!

What to expect on Supernatural Episode 8.01 “We Need to Talk About Kevin”

 

TV Guide has the scoop on what to expect for the first episode of season 8.

I’m going through Winchester withdrawal! What can you tease about my favorite demon-hunting siblings when Supernatural returns?— Tamara
ADAM: Dean will return from Purgatory (looking more tan than usual) to reunite with Sam (looking shaggier than usual), and both will be dealing with their own relationship issues. Despite their time apart, they’ll be forced to jump right back into action, as Season 8 kicks off with the deaths of six demons and two humans. Yes, one of the human casualties we know, and his or her death sets off this year’s season-long quest.

Citizen Sam: The taller Winchester sibling has gotten so domestic, he even owns a dog. “The jumping-off point for coming back to the show … was ‘you are truly alone,'” showrunner Jeremy Carver says. “We went into the idea of ‘What does that mean? And what kind of impact does that have on somebody?’ … Sam is keeping thoughts of this woman and this relationship to himself because it greatly informs where he is now at the beginning of the season. It represents essentially another way, another life.” And don’t worry, Supernatural fans: The dog really is a dog and not a demon or trapped soul in disguise.

Dangerous Dean: Director Bob Singer confirms that Dean is “more brutal” after his time in Purgatory. And while he’s thrilled to be back on Earth, enjoying the bounty of burger, fries, beer and pie, part of him is having a hard time adjusting to the mindset of a more regular life. “Dean as he came out of Purgatory [had] something of… a surprising reaction,” Carver says. “[There’s] this idea that it was ‘pure’ down there. I think one of the last things you might expect going to a place that is so horrible is that someone might have actually considered it somewhat of a happy experience. You have to ask yourself: Why do you think it’s happy? What is this thing inside of himself that he connected to, this primal side of himself? How will he deal with that topside?”

The problem with Benny: Last season, Dean got flak for killing Sam’s childhood friend. Sure, she was a brain-eating demon, but she was reformed and only backslid to feed her child. How can Dean reconcile his hardline attitude with letting Benny live, even if he did help him? “The idea of Benny hangs over our brothers pretty heavily, certainly as the year goes along,” Carver says. “He’s a really interesting wrinkle into our brothers’ relationship this year, how they deal with something like this.”

Where’s Castiel? Dean was stuck in Purgatory with the angel, but now that he’s back, where’s Castiel (Misha Collins)? “We’ll be telling that story of Purgatory [through flashbacks] pretty steadily through the first seven or eight episodes,” Carver says. “You’ll start to get a really good understanding what happened in Purgatory to Cas.”
