The thrilling and terrifying journey of the Winchester Brothers continues with the eighth season of Supernatural on The CW.
Twenty-seven years ago, Sam Winchester and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a mysterious and demonic supernatural force. Subsequently, their father John raised them to be soldiers. He taught them about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America and he taught them how to kill it.
Season Eight begins with Deans seemingly impossible escape from Purgatory, though Castiel is nowhere to be found. However, Dean isn't alone. Hes returned with a mysterious comrade-in-arms whose reason for escape is perhaps more than Dean bargained for. Meanwhile, Sam finds himself reconciling the life he discovered while Dean was gone with Deans sudden reappearance. As the boys struggle with their unexpected reunion, they make a shocking discovery that could lead them on a deeply personal mission to settle old scores. If only they could agree " is this a family business or isn't it?
