The angels are coming back to Supernatural once again. According to TVLine, Amanda Tapping has landed the recurring role of Naomi for the show's upcoming eighth season, a new kind of angel. In addition, the show has also cast an Emmy-nominated star of the classic sitcom M*A*S*H for a guest role.

Tapping, who starred on Syfy's Stargate and Sanctuary, will play Naomi, a cool and mysterious, no-nonsense angel from a group we haven't seen before. The role will recur throughout season 8.

Supernatural also cast M*A*S*H vet Mike Farrell in a guest role for the eighth episode. He will play "an aging mentalist with a slippery grasp on reality," according to new showrummer Jeremy Carver.

Supernatural's eighth season begins Wednesday, October 3 at 9pm on the CW.
