Castiel is human and Angels have fallen from Heaven. That creates a conflict on Earth that will be explored throughout Supernatural season 9. This summer, Misha Collins (Castiel) and Executive Producer Robert Singer spoke with reporters about Cas’ challenges as a human and the battles that will be fought.
Check out the full video interviews and highlights.

Misha Collins Interview
Highlights from the interview:
- Human Cas is a “different version of Cas,” but “it’s not a dramatic break. It’s not like a switch has been thrown.” It’s not like when he went crazy, became God, or became Jimmy.
- He’s the same Cas, but he has to learn to cope and live as a human. His learning includes human biological functions to “what does this mean my purpose on the planet is.”
- Cas gets frustrated. He can’t teleport, so it takes weeks for him to get from one place to another.
- He still knows stuff, but “beyond that he’s useless.”
- “He’s so useless. He doesn’t have a purpose.”
- At the beginning of the season, Cas is running and hiding from the fallen angels. He’s powerless to fight them head on.
- “I’m not telling you.” in response to whether Cas has any allies. Hmm….
- Collins didn’t get to keep the Cas toy from the episode when the Anti-Christ turned him into a toy. They made two of them, but they wouldn’t let him keep one.
- Collins tells story about Jensen and Jared taking their favorite clothes at the end of season 1. “So now they have a log on the door of the wardrobe trailer.”
- The question of whether Cas would want to be an Angel again is addressed in season 9.

- Metatron will be seen around half-way through the season. He’s lonely up in Heaven. The non-Angels are still up there, including souls. His story will be during second half of season.
- Jim Beaver (Bobby) comes back in an unexpected way.
- Demon Blade and Angel Blade are still around. Having one is a big deal.
- Felicia Day (Charlie) will be in episode 4 and in another couple episodes.
