"Supernatural" season 9 will soon see some new characters and familiar faces! Find out the latest news about which characters are coming to "Supernatural" season 9, and all the juicy spoilers about Garth's return.

"Supernatural" executive producer Jeremy Carver talked to Entertainment Weekly and gave some great spoiler details about the future season 9 episodes and what fans can expect.

"It's going to be really interesting. It's going to be a combination of introducing some really really wonderful new characters into the mythology while also seeing a lot more of some of our favorite friends returning in the back half," Carver told Entertainment Weekly in an interview.

"For example, Dean's journeys will lead him to an encounter with none other than Cain [guest star Tim Omundson] of Cain and Abel and that will open up a whole new branch of mythology for the show that is going to have significant impact on the rest of the season and throughout the series.

"That's a very exciting new story vein we're opening up. And we're going to get an answer to where the heck Garth (DJ Qualls) has been this whole time and viewers will remember he sort of went AWOL when put in charge of guarding Kevin back in season 8 and we'll answer this question, and I think it will be surprising. And there will be hugs. I think we can rest assured we'll be seeing the return of The Ghostfacers.

"They will be making a return in what actually is a really fun and pretty emotional episode. And we're going to do a heck of a lot of digging into the men of letter's lore. We're going to be going even deeper into that and introducing new characters and taking a deeper look at some men of letters characters we've even met before. That's a storyline that continues to pay off for us in a fun and exciting new way.

"Then I can tell you we're going to see some people we absolutely did not expect to see. And it's all a result of the events that have happened here in the last season and a half. I can't go much more into detail than that," Carver said to Entertainment Weekly.
