NB There are some spoilers here for the end of Supernatural’s 9th season

Supernatural’s 200th episode will be marked with some “musical-ish” elements, according to executive producer Jeremy Carver at Comic-Con on July 27.

The episode, which airs in November in the US, will be a “love letter to the fans”, who will be dealing with a very different show this year following the introduction of a demonic Dean Winchester in the series 9 finale. “Myself and the other writers are excited most of all that the idea of these brothers questioning who the real monster is,” Carver explained. “It’s great and it’s exciting and emotional and fun.”

“This is actually Dean’s soul that is twisted. It was interesting trying to make it a different character but at the same time, be the same character — but twisted and demonic,” Jensen Ackles added. Ackles will be directing the third episode of the season.
