Supernatural 300th Episode.
Supernatural wrapped filming of Lebanon, its 300th episode, hours before the start of its 3-week holiday hiatus in December.
Cast and crew are back next week to begin shooting episode 301.
So what do we know about episode 300?
Lebanon is written by Andrew Dabb & Meredith Glynn and directed by Robert Singer.
And features a long-awaited family reunion as Papa Winchester aka Jeffrey Dean Morgan returns.
We’re incredibly excited to have Jeffrey back for this milestone episode, and think fans will love what we have planned for his character… and a few other surprise guest stars — statement from showrunner Andrew Dabb.
Cast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and more.
I’m pretty pumped about the concept; [Jared] and I have spent more time on the phone with the writers in LA about the script more than any other script on the show. — Jensen Ackles at a fan convention.
Update: Zachariah (Kurt Fuller) returns for the 300th episode too, EW reports.
Shooting began on December 5th

As well as the family reunion, Supernatural’s 300th episode involves a little time travel, features a different version of Castiel (Misha Collins) and introduces us to the town of Lebanon: the site of the Men of Letters bunker, which houses many artifacts and where Sam & Dean Winchester have made a home for several seasons.

What do the townsfolk of Lebanon think of Sam & Dean? Do they see them driving the Impala down Main Street? Going to the local diner? Getting their blood-stained clothes clean at the local wash n’ dry?
The real Lebanon, Kansas.
Supernatural filmed for several days & nights on south Burnaby’s Backlot town set (built for the Watchmen movie) as Lebanon, Kansas.
I saw Supernatural filming there in Season 6.
Supernatural shot there until 3 a.m. one night.

Or did he film on the Thursday, as Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki hinted at in fan convention panels?
Maybe in the Impala?
