'Supernatural' Season 9 Spoilers: 'Awesome' Midseason Cliffhanger, Metatron Returns PHOTOS, Malachi Prepares for War in 'Holy Terror' VIDEO
The CW's Supernatural isn't going to let fans go into the winter break without a bit suspense.
According to actor Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester), the show will be providing a cliffhanger for episode 9.
"We're filming our mid-season cliffhanger episode right now," Padalecki tweeted on Oct. 17. "And, I gotta admit, it's AWESOME!!"
The Vancouver based cast and crew are currently in the midst of filming for the ninth episode, "Holy Terror." Slatted to air on Dec. 3, the last installment before the short hiatus will introduce a new character as well as bring back a well-known villain.
Metatron (Curtis Armstrong), who is getting a little lonely all by himself up in heaven, will return to wreak more havoc on the Winchester's lives.
"Off tomorrow for two more episodes of @_supernatural_ . #Metatron returns!" Armstrong tweeted on Oct. 14 before beginning work on "Holy Terror." "And he's no angel---he's a very naughty boy!"
Meanwhile, Spoiler TV has announced that another fallen angel will begin to rise to power. Malachi will be amassing an army of his brethren and will not be taking no for an answer when it comes to picking up recruits.
As all this takes place, it looks like Castiel (Misha Collins) will be taking a beating, as is evident from the photo he recently posted on Twitter (see above).
