The press room was packed and buzzing as the cast and showrunners of The CW’s longest running (and still going strong) show, Supernatural, arrived. The “SPN” gang made the rounds amid the cameras and recorders of reporters eager to hear about the upcoming season 12 of the hit series. In attendance were the show’s stars, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins and Mark A. Sheppard plus two surprise season regulars, Ruth Connell (Rowena) and Samantha Smith (Mary Winchester). Executive Producer Robert Singer and newly appointed showrunner Andrew Dabb were also on hand to stir the pot of intrigue about the fate of the Winchester Bros., Castiel, Crowley and even a body-jumping Lucifer.
Check out our round table interviews with the gang.
