‘Supernatural’ season 8: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, and more in group photo
There are so many reasons to be a fan of “Supernatural” right now, but at the top of the list has to be the familial nature of both the show’s cast and crew. Many other shows choose to share a group photo like the one on the left with the fans, and they even the hashtag used for the show’s following is #SPNFamily, but with Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles holding the People’s Choice Awards in the front, they are making sure that the fans are included in their family.
The photo was posted on Twitter by show producer Jim Michaels, and one of the cooler things about it is that it can really turn into a fun game of “Where’s Waldo?” for some of the names and faces that you are familiar with. You are surely going to notice a few guest stars thrown in here along with the series regulars, and also a few producers if you frequently visit or watch some panel discussions or interviews online.
Just in case you are an avid Misha Collins fan and are wondering why Castiel is missing in action here, Michaels explained that the actor was in Los Angeles during the window of time that they had to shoot the photo. Even with that in mind, though, don’t fret: he will be a more substantial part of season 9 as a series regular, which means to us that he will surely be a part of it then.
The one thing that brings this photo over-the-top in our mind? That they decided to shoot it at the Winchesters’ Batcave, and it’s pretty amazing that we went almost the entire run of the show without having this set around.
“Supernatural” will be off the air until April 24, but if you want to whet your appetite with a few more details about the show’s return until that time, you can do so over at the link here.

Supernatural not only cares for its fans but also for its workers and that’s the thing that make me love it more every day… There’s no comparison when it comes to the quality of love they give to us and to each other.. hats off

Such an amazing fandom! It’s wonderful how the cast and crew have this familial connection with the fans. I have never been a part of a fandom that cares that much or have the cast and crew care that much. It makes me proud to be a part of the #spnfamily! Thanks for sharing your group photo Jim!

Love this picture of so many of the wonderful people that bring Supernatural to us. As a fan, I really do feel that this cast and crew, more than many others that I’ve been fans of, genuinely appreciate and care about their fans.
Sad that Misha was unable to be there this year, as Castiel is one of my favorite characters and I adore Misha, but hopefully he’ll definitely be in next year’s picture. So happy that he’s a regular in Season 9!

I can’t agree more with the above comment. Supernatural is a family and the fans are included in that. I’ve never felt more proud to be in a fandom. It’s rare that a show, its crew and cast care as much as this one does. Keep up the fantastic work you guys!

This is exactly why SPN sets it’s self and the fans apart form the rest of the shows out there. This is a family of very talented people that love and appreciate what they do. This show will go down in history as the best TV has every offered. Has truly made a difference in my life and my families. Thank you for allowing us to be apart of yours.
