'Supernatural' season 14: Showrunner asked Jensen Ackles to "do his own thing" for Michael and it was the best decision ever

There were no rules to who or what Michael is, making him a blank canvas, relates Jensen Ackles, who says co-showrunner Andrew Dabb let him do his “own thing” with the character
PUBLISHED OCT 17, 2018

Season 14 of The CW’s long-running ‘Supernatural’ premiered October 11 and we finally got to see Michael in Dean’s body suit (portrayed by Jensen Ackles) in action. He is wandering the earth, talking to various beings, trying to figure out what they want. By no means is the Archangel looking to protect the interests of humans, he just wants a clean slate – again – but this time around he does not intend to make a s**tshow out of it.  

Ackles looks all sorts of sexy in Michael’s choice of clothing, specifically, suits, and the new diction isn’t all too bad either. As it turns out, Ackles was fully involved in the creation of this new Michael, previously played by Christian Keyes, with co-showrunner Andrew Dabb letting him do his “own thing” with the character.
