Looks like The CW has found a new go-to guest star.

Fresh off his stint as Hawkman on Smallville's special February 5 episode ("Absolute Justice"), Michael Shanks has landed a role on Supernatural.

According to TV Guide Magazine, the Burn Notice and Stargate SG-1 alum will portray a character named Rob, who is part of a local militia. He is married and has a son - but a loss will force Rob to dedicate himself solely to a cause.

What might this cause be? Supernatural viewers will need to tune in and find out.

It's been an exhaustive wait for Supernatural fans, but that show finally returns with a new episode on Thursday.

Heading into the second half of season five, producer Sera Gamble spoke to TV Guide Magazine about what viewers have to look forward to over the next few months...

On the February 4 episode, Back to the Future 2: Sam and Dean go back to try to save their mom and dad - from a threat that also travels back in time from 2020 - Terminator style. If the baddie succeeds, Mary and John (pictured)  will be murdered - and Sam and Dean will never be born.

On the Valentine's Day episode: Sam and Dean are investigating a series of gory murder/suicides; all people who were desperately in love. They suspect the culprit may be the supernatural being who made the matches to begin with - a Cupid gone rogue. So they capture and interrogate him.

On advancement of the Apocalypse storyline: The Horsemen are active in upcoming episodes. You'll meet Famine, and find out some of what Death has been doing since Luciferraised him. Other upcoming episodes will also touch on events and creatures from the Book of Revelation.

On other spoilers: The search for God will soon yield a solid lead. The Archangel Michael will be introduced. We will answer the question, “What does Castiel act like when he's drunk off his ass?” And the brothers will go to Heaven.

Yes, Gamble confirms, actual Heaven.

On the first Supernatural episode of 2010, Sam and Dean go undercover as patients at a mental hospital.

Their goal? To get at a monster. The result?

The siblings discover they have some serious issues of their own with which to deal. You'll need to tune in to find out what happens, but you can enjoy a sneak peek at "Sam, Interrupted" below:

Supernatural has found its Cupid.

The February 11 episode of The CW hit will be titled “My Bloody Valentine" and will feature Lex Medlin (Southland, Men of a Certain Age) in the iconic chubby role.

On the installment, couples all over town start begin to engage in deadly, compulsive behavior. As a result, Sam and Dean look into the happenings, with the help of Castiel, and learn that a naked Cherub might be involved.

Naturally, as depicted below, the trio tracks him down for questioning:

Supernatural creator Eric Kripke has hyped season five as: "The war everyone's been waiting for."

So far, viewers have been excited to see how this has all come together - but should they also be worried? Kripke has said in the past he only sketched out five seasons worth of storylines for The CW drama.

Fortunately, though, network president Dawn Ostroff says Kripke is open to the possibility of a sixth season.

“I think he’s in that state of mind,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “I had lunch with Eric the other day and he’s really excited about the show right now. I think he feels this season has been really satisfying for him. He’s certainly not running out of ideas by any stretch of the imagination.”

Ratings have been up this season, too, as Ostroff is thrilled with the change in its demographic.

“We have more young women coming to the show than ever before," she said. "There aren’t a lot of shows that you can say are doing better in their fifth year.”

Supernatural returns with a new episode on January 21.

What will it take to unhinge the Winchesters?

The Supernatural trailer below poses this question, as The CW teases fans with what's to come on one of its biggest hits.

Unfortunately, new episodes don't air until January 21. Until then, viewers will debate which team they'd be on if/when these brothers come to odds: Team Dean or Team Sam?

On January 4, Supernatural comes to TNT.

On January 21, it comes back to The CW, airing new episodes after close to two months off.
