Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles talks about his experience directing the fourth episode of Season 6.
Jensen Ackles has revealed that he enjoyed directing an episode of Supernatural.
Ackles, who plays Dean, stepped behind the camera for the fourth edition of the show’s upcoming sixth season.
“It was a lot of work,” he told DS at Comic-Con. “But it was cool in the fact that I’ve never really approached a script with that kind of universal outlook on it.
“I was doing one character for five years – that’s where my focus is when I read a script. So to then bring that back and have to really take it all in and make decisions on every bit of the script as opposed to just my character… It was cool, it was refreshing, it was kind of invigorating.”
Supernatural returns for its new season on September 24 on The CW.

Supernatural’s executive producers Sara Gamble and Eric Kripke hint that Season 6 may not be the series finale but they have made plans for it.
New Supernatural showrunner Sera Gamble has revealed that she knows how the series will end.
Gamble recently took over from creator Eric Kripke, who decided to leave once the show’s original five-year story arc had been completed.
“We know how we want the series to end,” she told Zap2It. “Right now, we’re sort of doing something that not many shows have done in the past, which is to say we’ve closed out our first story and we’re moving on to a second chapter.”
She explained that while plans have been made for the series finale, the upcoming sixth season may not be the show’s last.
“We’re not necessarily approaching it as our last season, but we are prepared for the eventuality,” she said. “We’ve got an endgame, absolutely.”

At Comic-Con 2010, Supernatural’s Eric Kripke talked about the theme for Season 6 and Jensen Ackles confirmed he’ll be battling monsters next season, particularly the blood-sucking kind.
Comic-Con 2010 is in the books, and this year’s event was another celebration of all things geeky — and many that are not. TV Guide Magazine patrolled the halls and hallways of the San Diego Convention Center, ducking light sabers, caped crusaders and pen stabbings to file these tidbits:
- The Supernatural cast and producers followed Smallville in Ballroom 20 on Sunday. (Appropriate because the CW shows will once again be paired this fall when Supernatural moves to its new Fridays-at-9/8c slot.) Series creator Eric Kripke graciously handed the show’s reins to new showrunner (and longtime producer) Sera Gamble, but said that he’d still be involved in the writers’ room, referring to himself as a hemorrhoid to the producers. The panel began with some early footage from Episode 4, helmed by star Jensen Ackles, who is making his debut in the director’s chair. One scene featured an entertaining confrontation between Uncle Bobby (Jim Beaver) and Crossroads Demon Crowley (Mark Sheppard). Beyond that, the whole crew was typically tight-lipped on the new season. They did flesh out a few details about monsters being a big theme this year — a change, of course, coming out of the long Apocalypse arc that ended in May — including a visit from pop culture’s current blood-sucking obsession. “I’m looking forward to killing some vampires properly this season,” Ackles gleefully told the fans, taking a not-too-subtle dig at some of the competition. “I’d like to show people how it’s done properly.”

The cast and creators of The CW hit “Supernatural” appeared at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con including creator Eric Kripke. Kripke decided to step down from the show after the 5th season but explained to the audience in attendance that he still plans on being involved with the production. He along with Sera Gamble (who’s been on board since episode 1) talked about what we can expect from Sam and Dean during season 6. Here’s the rundown with video!!
Here’s the introduction of the Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Eric Kripke, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver, and Ben Edlund. When the two Winchester boys came out the crowd went wild!
Here are some highlights from the panel. Kripke on his departure from the series:
For those of you who’ve been wanting the boys to get back to their monster chasing roots they will. Gamble confirmed it!
As for Sam and his trip to hell, here’s what Jared Padalecki had to say about his character’s future:
Misha Collins was also on hand and shared a little info about Castiel. He stated that he will return to a heaven that’s completely out of order and he’ll try to create a coalition to get things back to normal.
Gamble also stated that a female relative of the brothers will come into the picture next season. While Ackles stated that when the show returns it will be one year after the “apocalyptic event” and Dean will be domesticated. According to the actor, “He’s living a somewhat normal life. This season will focus on how he gets pulled back into the situation and how he deals with that.”
One big question that everyone wanted answered had to do with Prophet Chuck. Is he really God? Well, here’s what Kripke said about that:
“We’re not gonna give an answer. It’s completely open to interpretation. We didn’t want a character to come out in the end and say, ‘And I’m God!’”
So there you have it! A lot of stuff went down and the fans were eating it up. One thing you can also look forward to in season 6 is an episode entitled “Weekend at Bobby’s,” which Ackles directed himself. It will be the 4th episode to air this season so look out for it.
