Little Sammy Winchester will be getting his hands on a hot new cast member for CW’s forthcoming 8th season of hit series ‘Supernatural’. The gorgeous Liane Balaban (below), who’s starring in Franck Khalfoun’s ‘Maniac’ redo, is set to join the ghostbusting, monster-hunting, demon expelling duo Dean and Sam (played by Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki respectively) as new character Amelia. The role is being described as “a tragedy-damaged soul” who “soon reveals herself to be a brave, sweet, smart, sarcastic woman”. In addition Spoiler TV are reporting that another new character called Benny is set to join the upcoming season. Both characters will join the series from episode 2 (8.02) entitled ‘We Need to Talk About Kevin’.
“When Sam and Dean Winchester were just kids, their mother was horribly murdered in front of their father by something “supernatural”. Their lives were never the same again. After their mother’s murder, their father took an interest in the supernatural and the unexplained and raised the boys as warriors with skills to fight back against the unknown and protect the innocent. 22 years later, with Sam and Dean grown up, their father suddenly disappears on a suppose routine supernatural hunt. Sam and Dean search for their father and along the way help anyone with a supernatural problem with the help from their dad’s journal that contains most of his knowledge about the supernatural that he had accumulated over his 22 years of none-stop obsessive hunting.”
