Stargate and Sanctuary veteran Amanda Tapping is adding another genre favorite to her resume as “Queen of Sci-Fi.” She’ll appear in a major recurring role in the eighth season of Supernatural, according to TV Line.
Tapping will play Naomi, described by showrunner Jeremy Carver as “cool and mysterious, part of a new group of angels we’ve never seen before.” Naomi’s demeanor is efficient and put-together, but this only hides a lot more going on under the surface.
She’ll make her first appearance in the seventh episode of Season Eight, titled “A Little Slice of Kevin.”
The “Samantha Carter” actress recently had a directing stint helming three episodes of the upcoming fantasy series Primeval: New World, and appeared on screen in the Lifetime move Taken Back: Finding Haley, which aired in August.
Season Eight of Supernatural premieres Wednesday, October 3 at 9/8c on The CW in the United States. Look for Amanda’s first appearance sometime in November.

Radical. ;) I've seen the show here and there, so I'm very much looking forward to what she gives us. :D
The only bad part of this news is that they have only started showing season 7 here (Ireland)... maybe this time next year before we see that episode.
yeeeeesss!! :D
Supernatural will be very hard to understand if you haven't watched the 150 episodes prior to season 8. But I can't imagine any sci-fi fan not finding it well worth their time. It's on Netflix streaming, or two episodes per day on TNT (which should start back on season 1 in about a month). I never thought I'd love any show more than SG1, but SPN has totally surpassed it.
Unfortunately, I am *not* a fan of Amanda Tapping. I hope she doesn't make my fave show too annoying to watch. :-(
I have a question for gamoses. How do you love SG1, but not be a fan of Amanda Tapping? It is hard for me to imagine SG1 without Captain/Major/Colonel Carter. Please believe that my question is not meant as criticism in any way; I am just so very curious.
I just think this is terrific that our SG actors are getting more exposure! Supernatural is a genre favorite and I'm happy to see Amanda get to play a part. Here's to the rest of them also getting juicy roles in the future!
lol, Truman7, that's a fair question. Why do certain people rub you the wrong way? I don't know, they just do. I find Tapping annoying, but I guess I'm the only one who does. Besides, SG1 is only about Jack and Daniel, isn't it? ;-)
Haha, I see what you did there. Carter will have a major recurring role. Carter. Major.
Clever :P
Amanda is truly a queen of SciFi.
Great News
