Supernatural Season 10 Spoilers: Will Castiel and Crowley Be in 200th Episode?

Supernatural will air its milestone 200^th episode early in Season 10 this fall, and so far we only know a few things about it for sure. Showrunner Jeremy Carver described it as "musical-ish," and Jared Padalecki has said the plot of the episode connects to Chuck's books, which first appeared way back in the fourth season.

We also know many past characters will be referenced in some way. But what about the current cast? Obviously Sam and Dean (Jensen Ackles) will be there, but what about Castiel (Misha Collins) and Crowley (Mark Sheppard)? The "Ask Ausiello" column at TVLine has the answer.

"Question: Can you find out if Castiel and Crowley will be in the 200th episode of Supernatural? - Franca
Ausiello: I can, I will and I did. 'We can't give too much away about the 200th episode or the storylines leading up to it,' a spokesperson for the show tells TVLine, "but we can say that while Misha Collins and Mark Sheppard are not in the episode" - not a huge shock considering series-regular status doesn't guarantee a presence in all episodes produced - 'they, and many other favorite characters from the past nine seasons, will be represented in a way that we think fans will love.' Considering how unique the show's past meta episodes have been, in what crazy way do you think 'Castiel' and 'Crowley' will make their presence known?"

So there you have it. No Cas or Crowley in the flesh in the 200^th episode, it seems. Are you surprised to learn they won't appear? Let us know in the comments section.
