‘Supernatural’ season 11 spoilers: Jensen Ackles teases ‘throwback’ to early seasons

Unless you have gone back and re-watched some of the early seasons of “Supernatural” recently, it may be a little bit hard to even remember everything that happened, or even what the show looked like. It was a very different time then; the show looked a little bit different, felt a little bit different, and there were differences in the story.

Well, if you do like the show’s early days, you are going to get a chance to see the series more or less dive back into that territory for the upcoming 11th season. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, star Jensen Ackles did his part to flesh out some of why these episodes remind him of the early days, and how getting rid of the Mark of Cain has enabled the brothers to work together more:

“It’s a bit of a throwback to maybe season 1 or season 2, when the brothers were fighting less with each other and fighting more for humanity as a team. Because over the years there’s been a flip-flop of Sam being afflicted and Dean doing everything he can to save his brother, and then the next year, Dean makes some terrible choice like the Mark of Cain and then it’s Sam trying to do everything he can to save his brother. We’ve done that now. The brothers have been saved; the Mark is gone. And now they’ve kind of unleashed this unknown entity and they’ve got to team up and pool their resources and figure out how they’re going to deal with it.”

For those wondering, Ackles and Jared Padalecki told the website that if you do love “Supernatural” more for some of the lighthearted sequences and episodes, there’s still going to be plenty of that. (Padalecki joked the he was going to be working on a car-wash scene at some point in the future, and we’re instantly excited for that.)
