When they were boys, Sam Winchester (series star Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (series star Jensen Ackles) lost their mother to a mysterious and demonic supernatural force.

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.

Sam and Dean have spent the last eight years battling the things that go bump in the night. Over the years, with the help of both fallen-angel Castiel (series star Misha Collins), and the reigning King of Hell, Crowley (recurring guest star Mark A. Sheppard), the Winchesters have straddled the line between good and evil. Last season, the boys faced their most important mission yet: close the gates of Hell once and for all. With the help of the prophet Kevin Tran (recurring guest star Osric Chau), Sam and Dean set forth to perform the Trials required to close the gates. While the boys worked to shut Crowley and his minions down for good, a new threat to his reign emerged: the Knight of Hell, Abaddon (recurring guest star Alaina Huffman). As the struggle for Hell's command began, Castiel set about his own set of Trials. With the aid of God's scribe Metatron (Curtis Armstrong), Castiel went on a mission to close the Gates of Heaven.
