Creator Eric Kripke Talks 'Supernatural' Season 4







There are four more episodes remaining in Supernatural's third season, and then fans will have to wait months before the series returns in the fall. Now, thanks to Creation Entertainment's "Salute to Supernatural" event that happened this past weekend, we have a few clues about what we can expect in season 4. Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and creator Eric Kripke appeared at the convention in Los Angeles to thank the fans, answer questions, and discuss what's coming up for the Winchesters in the future.

Beware that there are some minor spoilers for the next season of Supernatural below.






One thing that fans probably won't be seeing anytime soon is an episode about Sam and Dean switching bodies. This is one of those concepts that many Supernatural addicts would love to see, but Kripke didn't seem particularly excited about the idea. However, while on stage, Ackles did a quick impression of emo-Sam that proved the idea would work wonderfully if they ever went through with it.

The biggest news from the con, aside from the fact that Jared Padalecki is engaged to his longtime girlfriend, were the hints about what's to come in season 4. Kripke has promised that there will be a lot of back story about Mary Winchester next year, and he's even toying with the idea of showing John and Mary when they were teenagers. Everybody loves a good flashback episode. We'll also find out more about the amulet in the near future.

For those hoping that the Winchester boys would successfully vanquish Lilith by season's end, it doesn't look like it's going to happen. She's going to play a large part throughout the next season of the series. However, one person who may not play such a huge role in Supernatural's future is Bela (Lauren Cohan). Kripke admitted that he's aware of the fan's hatred of the character, and he promised that she'll be getting her comeuppance in a major way. He said that she definitely won't have a touchy-feely moment of redemption, but he wouldn't mention whether she'll be back next season.

Before we can look forward to season 4 of Supernatural, we still have to worry about how, or if, Dean will avoid going to Hell in the remaining four episodes. At the convention, Eric Kripke promised that season 3 would wrap up with "a bitch of a cliffhanger," meaning that it's going to be one long wait until the fall.
