News — Rob Benedict

Can Sam and Dean stop the Darkness with a little help from the man upstairs? Maybe...not.  Supernatural finally revealed that yes, Chuck (Rob Benedict) is God, and he really needs the Winchester brothers to defeat his evil sister Amara, also known as the Darkness. "She's relentless," he tells Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) in the exclusive clip above from this week's episode. "A force beyond human comprehension.
