“Supernatural”, creator/executive producer Eric Kripke and fellow co-executive producers Sera Gamble and Ben Edlund reveal that Sam and Dean will spend the majority of the season trying to restore their relationship and stop Lucifer from destroying Earth:

“We are not pulling our punches this season,” Gamble said about the dire stakes involved. “But I’ll tell you, it’s not as dark as I thought it would be. Last season was pretty much suicidal at points, especially with Sam going so dark. I’m finding this Apocalypse surprisingly amusing. We are having so much fun with it, since it’s balls to the wall.”

She continued, “We are telling stories about the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. We went A-list right away, so they are a completely other species. We had to ask ourselves, ‘What are they? Are they demons or angels? What do they do, and how do they feel?’”

Speaking of Lucifer, here’s what Gamble had to say about how Mark Pellegrino will portray the character:

He’s beautiful and gentle, and he has a very, very good [expletive] point to make. As with the best of our supposed villains on our show, he is maybe almost as right, or righter, than the good guys. We also said our angels are going to be dicks. We have a spectrum where some of them are good or seem to be bad with ulterior motives. Lucifer is on that spectrum, and you might expect him to be all the way on the end of evil, but that’s not necessarily true. He has a very complex and interesting point of view, so he has been fascinating to unlock and figure out and understand. I am really excited about him and that he’s a real presence in the story arc.”

Meanwhile, here’s the synopsis from the fifth season premiere “Sympathy for the Devil”:

APOCALYPSE NOW — Picking up where the finale left off, Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) watch as the Devil (guest star Mark Pellegrino, “Lost”) emerges from Hell. The brothers and Bobby (Jim Beaver) deal with the aftermath of Lucifer rising and the stunning news from Chuck the Prophet (guest star Rob Benedict) that Castiel (Misha Collins) was blown to bits by the archangels. Robert Singer directed the episode written by Eric Kripke (#501).

 

 

And rounding out the week’s “Supernatural” updates, Paris Hilton (whom we previously reported will guest star as herself in the fifth episode called “Fallen Idol”) was tweeting her experiences on the set.  Here’s one about her wrapping production: “Just wrapped on set! So much fun working on Supernatural. Jared and Jensen are so nice and such great actors. I had a great time. :)”  “Supernatural” returns with new episodes on Thursday, September 10, 2009 at 9:00 p.m. ET on The CW.
