Supernatural returns on October 4.
Season 3 Structure
Supernatural creator Eric Kripke has given some extremely encouraging news regarding season three of the creepy CW hit. When Supernatural returns, look for it to return to the linear, single mythology structure of season 1 versus the episodic structure of season 2. This is one issue Supernatural fans have been somewhat split on since season 2 began, but given the events of the finale, its easy to see how following one story arc could be a huge benefit for Supernatural, which is trying to make its mark all over again.
With season two teasing at the underlying mythology, and even faking us out a couple of times, the season was a bit frustrating for fans who were tied up in the pace of season 1. Call it Veronica Mars syndrome. Mars went from two seasons of single arc mysteries, padded by one shots, to mini arcs topped off by a run of single shots. Yeah, it didn't work too well for her either, but at least Supernatural made it under the gate.

Supernatural: Sam and Dean Make Way for the Ladies
Supernatural has been an exciting and fun show since it began, but one thing it hasn't been is very female-centric. The only two regular cast members are men and while there have been some recurring female characters on the series, most of the main demon hunting and fighting has been left to brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles).
Things are about to change a bit in Season 3 of the series however, with the introduction of two new recurring female characters, Ruby and Bela, who are both as tough and ready for battle as Sam and Dean are, albeit with agendas of their own. Just a few days before they began work on Supernatural, I spoke to the actresses playing these two new roles, Katie Cassidy (Ruby) and Lauren Kohan (Bela), to find out more about their characters and what their dynamic will be on the series.
