Supernatural Season 13 Trailer
“We’ve been down before. We’ll find a way, because that’s what we do.”
Truer words, Sam. Truer words. The Supernatural Season 13 trailer is here and, based on what were’ seeing, the Winchesters will find themselves on the wrong end of yet another celestial-caused global catastrophe, this time with other-worldly implications after newborn nephilim Jack (Alexander Calvert) opened a portal to an alternate world; one that’s apparently ruled by archangel Michael (now played by Christian Keyes).
However, things aren’t exactly hunky dory on Earth Prime, since the trailer gives us our first glimpse of the new sheriff in town, and by “town,” we mean Hell. Indeed, we see the white-suit-sporting new King of Hell, who, for now, we’ll just refer to as “The World’s Most Interesting Demon” – stay damned, my friends. He, of course, replaces the late Crowley, whose death at the end of Season 12 was confirmed by actor Mark Sheppard as final. (/sadface).
Thus, overwhelmed with metaphysical threats and with little time or resources to handle them, tough guy Dean is heard resorting to prayers to the on-hiatus deity God, or, as he likes to be called, Chuck. – Of course, that’s not to say that he and his brother won’t have time to stop for a bag of curly fries and other cholesterol-rife hunter fuel that the Winchesters have been putting into their bodies for the last 12 years with no apparent consequences.
Supernatural Season 13 Cast
Osric Chau will make a Supernatural Season 13 return as Kevin Tran, reports EW. The character debuted in Season 7, depicted as an overachieving high-schooler, whose Ivy-League-charted life was overturned upon discovering that he was a prophet and the only one who could decipher the word of God left on a group of ancient tablets. However, Kevin was memorably killed in Season 9, after which Chau made a few subsequent guest spots, including one in Season 11 as a ghost. However, in Season 13 (there’s no word on when), Chau’s Kevin will be back and in the flesh… just not as the one we knew, since he will be playing a non-prophet alternate world version.
Since his Supernatural run, Chau has tackled other television roles, notably appearing as a recurring character on BBC America’s Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (a role he reprises in Season 2,) and the meta-minded, fan-community-aimed streaming series Kings of Con, in which he plays a version of himself, joined by an array of other Supernatural alumni. Indeed, Chau’s return as Kevin – doppelganger status aside – should be a welcome one, since the character became a fan favorite whose abrupt death raised the ire of many.
Christian Keyes joins Supernatural Season 13 to play the long-missing character of archangel Michael, reports EW, who also provide a preview image. However, this Michael is an alternate universe doppelganger of the character we know. The Season 12 finale, “All Along the Watchtower,” saw Mary Winchester make a sacrificial play to exile Lucifer (and herself,) through a portal into an apocalyptic alternate universe. However, in this world, “Apocalypse” isn’t just a buzz word, but a reference to the potential global catastrophe the Winchesters prevented way back in Season 6.
The Prime world saw the Apocalypse averted, with Michael (in vessel of the luckless and forgotten Winchester half-brother Adam Milligan,) and Lucifer (having been expunged from the vessel of Sam,) sent back to the Cage. However, in this alternate universe, the Apocalypse-ensuing battle between archangel brothers Michael and Lucifer went through as planned, with Michael emerging the winner. His prize? A desolate, decimated world in which the remnants of human civilization are stuck in perpetual war, barely surviving. As showrunner Andrew Dabb describes of this alternate Michael:
“He’s a very different character than the one we met even in Season 5. He’s Genghis Khan. He’s been through the wars. He’s conquered the world.”
Dabb also hints that a collision course between the universes is inevitable, with this Michael destined to set his sights on the Prime world.
Christian Keyes, the actor playing Michael this season, has been fielding a TV run on Baptist Church drama Saints & Sinners and on Let’s Stay Together before that. He’s also been seen in films such as We Are Family, The Man in 3B, Note to Self and the Madea film-franchise-launching Diary of a Mad Black Woman.
Alexander Calvert has procured a main cast promotion for Supernatural Season 13, reports EW. His character, Jack, is a powerful nephilim (half-human, half-angel), sired by Lucifer with presidential aide Kelly Kline (Courtney Ford), who died during the birthing process (as she knew ahead of time).
While Jack’s dangerous gestation was central to much of Season 12, utilizing his unearthly powers while still in the womb, his first proper appearance (played by Calvert,) occurred in the closing moments of the Season 12 finale “All Along the Watchtower,” newly-born, yet freakily fully-grown. Since we’ve been getting hints that Jack may not be a malevolent chip off the old satanic block, Season 13 should see him pulled between good and evil; a struggle that will clearly fall into the Winchesters’ lap, since the hunter brothers reportedly take him into their care.
Genre fans will recognize Calvert from his run on The CW’s Arrow as Lonnie Machin, a.k.a., DC Comics villain Anarky. He also fielded a TV run on A&E’s The Returned and appeared in the acclaimed 2016 teen drama film The Edge of Seventeen.
It does look like at least one key supporting character won’t be back next year, though. Mark Sheppard confirmed on Instagram that he’s done as Crowley.
