First Spoiler for Supernatural Season 11 and Date of Season Premiere
As per a CW Press Release, Supernatural is scheduled to premier on Oct. 7. Spoilers below.
TV For The Rest of Us has the entire CW premiere schedule.
TVLine has the first real spoiler of the season.
Question: Any Supernatural spoilers? —Erica Ausiello: The Jensen Ackles-helmed Season 11 premiere* is titled “The Bad Seed” and now I know why: It marks the introduction of Amara, a femme fatale in her late 20s who possesses an acid tongue and a seductive beauty. The fearmonger is new to Earth and is so not impressed with the place. That doesn’t stop her from sticking around; she’s set to recur throughout the season. Not-So-Crazy-Theory: When The Darkness was released in the finale, this badass came with it. (*Even though the installment is numbered 1101, Supernatural episodes regularly air out of order — meaning, it could be the second or third ep of the season.)
Since Jensen’s episodes have always aired as the third episode, I expect that will happen this year. What do you think about a new Femme Fatale? Will she be as good as Abaddon? Will she be better? What are your guesses as to where she will fit in? Tell us in the comments.
Omg! CW is actually putting forth a LATE 20’s as a femme fatale! You risk takers, you! What do you want to bet she still looks early 20’s typical CW babe.
I hope she is from another planet & not just THE DARKNESS of the Earth.
Tamara is a Greek name meaning eternal. Co-inky-dink?
It would be grand if she turned Sam into a sex slave LOL
Jen every time I scroll past your comment I chuckle at the thought of Sam as a sex slave!
Ho-hum. Boring. A human looking personification of THE DARKNESS!!! How unoriginal. It seems to me that there is plenty of material around already for the show to proceed without introducing another “mother of all” type villain inside a sexy chic. It’s Eve, Meg, Bella, Abbadon, Lilith, Ruby, Rowena all over again, ALL of whom are femme fatal types and who are all sexy and whom all have a smart mouth. I wonder if any of the writers could risk breaking a brain cell to come up with something ORIGINAL for a change?
[quote]When The Darkness was released in the finale, this badass came with it.[/quote]
I take this that she came with the Darkness and is not the Darkness. Of course I went to search what the name means and I got this:
“Amara Amara is a Greek name meaning eternal.”
“Amara (Ancient Greek: ?????, Latin: Amarantha) was the world’s very first immortal woman. She was once the personal handmaiden of Qetsiyah and is the …”
“Amarantha (Amara for short) is a rare botanical name whose mythical equivalent was believed to be immortal. The Italian and Spanish form is the somewhat-more-accessible? Amaranta.
I think it is pretty premature to judge stuff this early. We have no idea where they are even going yet. Maybe it is not even a bad guy but something to fight with against the Darkness? Who knows. The spoiler was vague and only the name actually gave some direction to it. It was interesting to me anyway what I googled about the name. And yay, a new character! we are running short for the recurring ones anyway.

PS. I do hope she is a good guy because she might not end not dead even though everyone dies in Supernatural.
I’m just tired of EVERY female character description that gets put out lately reading “20 something, sexy, femme fatal types who are snarky and beautiful.” It’s so common lately that I think that they must have a mold somewhere and just pop out a pod person every time they need a female character. I don’t care if she’s from THE DARKNESS!!!! or IS THE DARKNESS!!!!, she’s more of the same lowest common denominator that we are seeing almost all the time now when it comes to the introduction of female characters; it’s one dimensional and boring. I think it has to do with the more teenage oriented direction that the show seems to be going in lately. When was the last time the descriptor for a female character read “forty something, soccer mom, plump and cherry, likes to bake pie…?” Never. I’d like the writers to be more creative, but instead they seem to be falling back on tired out TV tropes that we’ve all seen before.
That is generalizing about the “writers” because we are not actually sure even who gave this spoiler and for what reason. Like we have seen also with those short episode synopsis. The writers actually include Berens and Dabb, first wrote Werther project and A4 and the other Inside Man. And I love the idea that it is actually a woman in late twenties and not under twenty. We have now females in all age ranges from Jody to Claire and now Amara. And really, I don’t trust about spoilers like this word for word because I am fairly certain it doesn’t come from the writers mouths. I agree on that who ever does it might word it to some group but I will wait to hear more about it. If she is a bad guy I will be slightly disappointed because it would be cool to get a new female character that is good and stays. That has been a while.

I am not basing my criticism off of the the synopsis only, I am basing it off of the plethora of “hot chick, 20 somethings” that have populated this show, especially recently. Perhaps I AM generalizing for the writers, but I am doing so based off of what I have SEEN on the show. With the notable exception of Jody (first seen in season 5) and Donna (by FAR the most interesting, creative, whole and real character introduced lately, although her weight is played for laughs which pisses me off to no end) almost all the others have been cast right out of the shallow end of the pool. And of the men that have been introduced lately, how many come out of that “studly, good looking, cool, suave, ladies man” mold? Garth, Cole, Crowley, Adam, Cain, Metatron, Henry, Benny? None of them fit the same shallow mold that they are casting so many of the women recurring characters out of. I don’t appreciate the double standard and would like for the PTB to be a little more creative in their casting. Hasn’t anyone noticed that Jody and Donna are the most liked recently added female characters? What does that tell you?
What it tells me is that the CW wants SPN to add more pretty people to their cast. At least that is what it sounds like. That seems to be the trend as of last season. I wish the network would stay out of it. Let the show be what it is. We’ll see though, they really played up Ann Marie last year and she was a one ep and done character. So as usual the early spoilers don’t tell us much.
I must be having a major senior moment, but who the heck is Ann Marie?
She’s the bar maid that Demon!Dean was with and being mean to. She wasn’t around enough to really remember and they didn’t use her name that often in the show. I only remember it is from the Press release because Anne Marie was the name of the lead role in a comedy called That Girl many many years ago. I
Thanks Percysowner. And sadly I am old enough that I used to watch That Girl. Remember good old Donald? At least I think that was his name.
Yes! It was good old Donald.
No one is as pretty as the boys so they should just stop trying. But as far as the brass is concerned the J’s are “old.”
The grandfathers of the CW 🙂
Actually I want to burst that bubble about the popularity. Even though not on the comments of this site but what I have seen on twitter and other places these women are popular on the show and very well liked: Charlie (rip), Mama Tran, Rowena, Abaddon (I have seen her to be the only femme fatale really. Loved her sixties hair? Aaaaanyway), Hannah, Claire is also VERY popular, A4, Ann Marie was not in normal mold either but it goes over people’s tastes what they like. So, Jody and Donna are not the only ones really that are most liked and this was more as an answer on that part. Some on this list are not my favorites either but it doesn’t mean that they are not popular out there. Believe me, they are.
Also I haven’t seen a change how the women are cast (or men) for whole 1-10 seasons while I have watched the show and if I am honest I have no issues with it. If the actress fits the part then she fits. 🙂

I agree with you for the most part E. There are still some characters that don’t exactly fit that mold though. Jody for one. Donna for another. Charlie for another. Oh right, scratch Charlie. At any rate if a sexy snarky “hot chick” emerges from the Darkness it would be hugely disappointing. The first thing I thought was “Not another Mother of All type, please!!”. I hope this isn’t sexist but I don’t find most stereotypical hot chicks scary or interesting in the least. For something that is supposed to be an ancient evil or amoral force that would be incredibly lame. I am not adverse to new characters but let them be kick ass or interesting in one way or another.
Anybody seen a teen-oriented movie called “The Hole”? Two brothers, who travel from place to place with their long haired, blonde mom, move into a house in a new town. Older brother “Dane” orders around and mercilessly teases his younger sibling. In the cellar of the house, the brothers discover a trap door in the floor. The trap door is firmly shut by strong locks, but the boys come across the key and open the trap door, freeing–….(wait for it…)…”THE DARKNESS!” A snarky, teenaged girl who lives next door leads Dane to the former owner of the house who’s in hiding and protecting himself with bright lights. He reveals that THE DARKNESS has been around since “the first scream of the world” (or words to that effect), and unlocking it was the worst thing the brothers could have done. We soon find out THE DARKNESS zeroes in on people’s fears/guilt and creates murderous illusions that crawl out of the hole. The younger brother’s greatest fear is a clown in the form of a doll. Dane most fears their drunken, abusive father, who’s in prison but always manages to hunt them down by mail, forcing the family to keep changing towns. (“You’ve been afraid all your life,” the dad illusion snarls at Dane.) Naturally, the only way to defeat the killer illusion is to stand up to it and overcome one’s guilt/fear. When the illusion of the father takes captive and tries to kill little bro, Dane displays his deep, love for his younger sibling by saving him. With the help of snarky girl, the bros finally manage to close and lock the trap, once again imprisoning THE DARKNESS.
Now I suspect I know where Carver gets his “original” ideas: Netflix!
Actually since most of the stories starting with the pilot have had some influence from other sources (TLOTR, X-Files etc) this is really a cool idea. The Darkness prays on your worst nightmares. I would like to see SPN’s spin on this. Might turn out ok.
Well, maybe not original, but I’d love it if the show went in this direction. I think THE DARKNESS!!!! would be best served by remaining completely abstract… a mist that depends on people and does “something” to them… maybe on the lines of what that movie shows, exploiting people’s worst fears, or maybe it can make them despondent or turn them on one another or all of the above. That would be really cool.
ps Since sexy, seductive Amara is described as a “fear monger,” I suspect she’ll help create the nasty illusions. (Was “Death” one of them?)
I don’t know Amara shows up after the Darkness is unleashed. I doubt she created an illusion of Death before hand. But an illusion of Death would be a nice solution to the ”you can’t kill Death” conundrum.
I did read (Jim Michael’s twitter I think it was) that the writers have “mapped out” the first 8 episodes of the season. Hopefully the writers have realized that “throwing things against the wall to see what sticks” is a BAD way to plan a season and have adjusted accordingly. I am desperately hoping that this is so…. THE DARKNESS!!!! is too big, too invasive for each writer to just simply write it the way that they feel like. That’s what they did with MoC and Dean for the past year and a half which is why the whole storyline didn’t work… he was all over the place with no logic or story to explain why he thought or acted differently from week to week. My fingers are crossed (and my toes too!).
I agree, I hope mapped out means planned or plotted. Of course that may lead to plotholes! 😉
Or as eilf likes to call them ‘plot voids’
PS. I love the countdown clock by the way, even though it shows how much there is still left to next season. :p

I would like the Darkness to look something like this

Excellent cheryl42 – send it off to SPN see if they will use it. LOL I also like Tealka’s idea coming from the movie The Hole I reckon The Darkness !!! should just be the WORD ( or a Heading ) its what comes forth from the darkness that would make great stories. A entity that prays on your fears’ a entity that prays on your hatred, a entity that prays on your insucrities extra. The boys no sooner clean up one mess and it keeps moving onto something else – they just can’t get on top of it — One step forward – Two steps back scenario. And suspenseful not so much scarey more on the edge of your seat stuff
if this Darkness turns out to be something like Buffy the Vampire Slayer….uh…just no!
So the new character is new to earth? An alien? If yes, I cannot wait to see the expression on the faces of Sam and Dean when they learn that they now have to deal with an actual alien. We know how much they love that idea. (10.12 About A Boy).
Do you think she’s an alien? I hope not. It’s bad enough that we are dealing with things like OZ and Frankensteins… I’d hate to see this show slip even further into fantasy by going all Star Wars. I hope she’s some biblical creature that was held back by THE DARKNESS!!!! and was jarred loose when the key opened the door.
I am also hoping she is another biblical creature and worry that the interplanetary creature would be too silly (robots anyone?) but I think it is possible. I do not recall any creature; angel demon, monster ever being introduced as “new to earth” and they did open the door to the other planet possibility when Death was going to transport Dean to another planet…..

That they did. :(….. Danger Will Robinson!

Well, you can’t have Robot without a Dr. Smith, so the Winchesters will need an annoying, whiny frenemy- oh, wait, they already have one. That was Crowley this year! 🙂
An annoying, whiny frenemy?
Like so?

Nah… I think we’ve had enough of those.
AGREED.:)
Okay well this certainly has me thinking. Maybe she is a supernatural alien! I think SPN is going to take another step forward into the thought- provoking esoteric nether regions (allusion to far reaching underworld not anything else 🙂 ). According to SPN The Darkness is a destructive and amoral force that existed BEFORE God. (Apparently SPN is not subscribing to the view that GOD is “the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end”) God created the heavens and the earth. So Amara is not from earth. (BUT will just look shockingly like an exceptionally attractive young female earthling 😉 ) So good news – no robots! As Lilah pointed out: “Amara” is a Greek name meaning “eternal “. Maybe we will not know exactly where she is from other than the eternal darkness.
Nah its SUPERNATURAL not Lost in Space (good show LOL ) I think and I’m hoping “new to earth” means she was created after God & his angels closed the Darkness !!! off. And she has never been outside her cave inside the Darkness !!! LOL P L E A S E NO ROBERTS — NO AILEN’S I’m out of here if there is. :(:(:(:(:( Not Supernatural Their Ailens.

OMG Cheryl… where do you FIND these? That’s hysterical. All those sweaters are just dreadful… but Jensen’s takes the cake! with it’s whip stitched collar and zipper!!!
The gag reel is still up on youtube.
AWESOMENESS!!!
E
It was fantastic wasn’t it?

I sat and watched this gif for about a minute straight and each time they started laughing I did too. It made my day and so did the gag reel and the ugly sweater pic. Thanks Cheryl!
It made me laugh out loud too. The ugly sweaters…to think someone is actually selling those and someone else is buying them.:D
No Now Girls my nana knitted those sweaters. :D:D:D – Nah she didn’t but someone’s proud of them ;):(
I think these are ugly on purpose. I think people make these ”ugly” to remind us all what we used to wear in the very olden times. No one would seriously buy these….would they?:o unless it was a joke?
