Mark Sheppard will play Crowley, the crossroads demon
"Abandon All Hope" airs Nov. 19: "Sam, Dean and Castiel track down the bisiro and head off to find Lucifer to send him back to Hell. It’s a hunters’ reunion when the crew joins forces with Bobby (Jim Beaver), Ellen (guest bituin Samantha Ferris) and Jo (guest bituin Alona Tal) for what could be their last night on Earth."
Inspiration for 5.10?
From Dante's Inferno:
"Through me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people Nawawala for aye.
Justice the founder of my fabric mov'd:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.
Before me things created were none, save things Eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope ye who enter here."
Extra Extra: Crowley, a sophisticated but cruel crossroads demon, will have a pivotal role in the episode. With rumors that two 'supporting' characters are set to die, the smart money is on Jo or Ellen making a deal to save each other or one of the Winchester boys.
