Video Preview & Pics for Supernatural
Here's a video preview, pics and show description for Supernatural, a WB show that looks like it might hit with genre fans.
Supernatural stars Jared Padalecki ("Gilmore Girls," "House of Wax,") and Jensen Ackles ("Smallville," "Dark Angel,") and airs Tuesdays (9:00 - 10:00 p.m. ET/PT) on The WB Television Network.
Sam Winchester (Padalecki) has done his best to escape his family's eerie history. Unlike his older brother, Dean (Ackles), Sam rejected their father's obsessive quest to uncover the evil forces that claimed the life of the boys' mother. Putting as much distance as possible between himself and his family, Sam left home right after high school and went away to college. His new life included a beautiful and loving girlfriend and plans to enter law school. Dean, however, took a very different path, following their father into the "family business." When Dean arrived on Sam's doorstep with the news that their father has vanished, Sam had no choice but to put his personal plans on hold and join Dean on the road.
After four years apart, the reunited brothers are getting to know one another again, and their familiar sibling rivalries are never far from the surface. Despite the strange childhood they shared, these boys turned out to have very different views of the world. Dean still idolizes his father and, although he often appears cocky and fearless, in reality he is haunted by memories of his mother's violent death. Sam was too young to remember the awful night that their mother died and has never fully accepted the frightening path his father and brother have followed.
A mysterious phone message from their father leads the Winchester brothers to a California town plagued by a series of unexplained deaths. They soon come face-to-face with the local legend of a Lady in White -- a ghostly and beautiful hitchhiker who wanders country roads by night, luring young men to their doom. Although they don't find their father, Dean and Sam discover his journal and try to decipher his writings for clues that will help them destroy the spirit.
Once the job is done, Sam tries to return to college life but finds that the malevolent force that claimed his mother has now taken his girlfriend in the same unthinkable way. Fueled by rage, sorrow and guilt, Sam suddenly understands his father's obsession. Like Dean, Sam is now totally committed to the hunt for answers and, ultimately, for revenge.
Bound by tragedy and blood to their dangerous, otherworldly mission, the brothers travel from the Colorado wilderness to the Nebraska farmlands and on to the isolated Wisconsin lakes, encountering creatures that most people believe only exist in folklore, superstition and nightmares: the terrifying Bloody Mary, the brutal Native American beast known as the Wendigo, the man with a hook who haunts lovers' lanes and the dark phantom travelers who portend a violent plane crash. As they follow the clues in their father's journal, the brothers realize that he has passed on to them all the knowledge he accumulated during the past 20 years. What they can't understand is why he has vanished and left them to carry on without him.
Taking up the mantle of their father's crusade, Sam and Dean crisscross the lonely and mysterious back roads of the country in their '67 Chevy Impala, searching for their missing father -- and hunting down every evil supernatural force they encounter along the way.
