Executive producer Jeremy Carver describes the character as "a dignified warrior angel injured in the Fall." Expect Ezekiel to make his first appearance in the Season 9 premiere on Tuesday, October 8 at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.
A recent SpoilerTV report said that the role was potentially recurring, which makes sense, given Penikett's genre cache following roles in "BSG," "Dollhouse," "Mortal Kombat: Legacy" and "Continuum."
At Comic-Con, Carver told HuffPost TV that the overarching theme of Season 9 is "consequences -- the decisions [the characters] made at the end of last year are really causing a tremendous amount of fall-out, and that includes Castiel [Misha Collins] as well. Those decisions are going to propel them into some even greater and deeper and scarier decisions at the beginning of this season, that are going to have far-reaching, very personal consequences for our brothers."
He continued, "I think something we're really reaching for, is each of our major characters -- not just the boys [Jared Padalecki's Sam and Jensen Ackles' Dean], but Castiel and Crowley [Mark Sheppard] -- are either dealing with an experience or have recently come through an experience, a la Crowley almost becoming human, which has really affected them in ways they maybe didn't expect. And that's not shoveled under the carpet -- it's a part of them now. Castiel as he's becoming human, and the boys, Sam and Dean, are each going to have that thing that comes up. So we're always trying to turn over a new dimension and new sides to our characters. I think we're all really excited about taking a really strong character approach."
Carver also promised that "Supernatural" Season 9 will feature "smaller arcs" as opposed to the usual mix of standalone episodes and one ongoing mythology thread. "We're really including some of our supporting characters in big ways this year," he said. "We're doing a lot more B and C stories than you've ever seen from the show before, and we're really maximizing the new position that some of our favorite characters are finding themselves in."
Will that include Penikett's Ezekiel? You'll have to tune in for the Season 9 premiere to find out.
"Supernatural" Season 9 premieres on Tuesday, Oct. 8 at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.

Image Credit: Amy Sussman/Getty Images Share on Tumblr Comments 5 The angels have fallen on Supernatural – and at least one of them is going to be a familiar face. Related 'Supernatural' bosses give scoop on spin-off: 'It's much more of an ensemble show' 'Supernatural' scoop from Spoiler Room 'Supernatural': Scoop on 'Doctor Dean-little' EW has learned that Tahmoh Penikett, best known for his roles on Dollhouse and Battlestar Galactica, has been cast as Ezekiel, ”a dignified warrior angel injured in the fall,” according to executive producer Jeremy Carver, nodding to the last scene from the CW drama’s season 7 finale. He will make his first appearance on the show in the season 9 premiere, airing Oct. 8. Penikett, who most recently appeared on Continuum, played FBI agent Paul Ballard for two seasons on Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse and Capt. Karl Agathon, so beloved for his small role in the BSG mini-series that he went on to co-star on the series. At Comic-Con last month, executive producer Jeremy Carver said this season of Supernatural would find brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) dealing with a variety of angels who all have “lots of different agendas.” ”[The angels are] lost, scared, and vengeful, and I think [the storyline] is lending itself to lots of exciting and wonderful character moments for all of our characters to be dealing with,” he said. “A world of fallen angels is a dirty, bloody, scary and in some ways very human world. We’re very excited to explore that.”
