Supernatural fans will definitely be interested in this one. The new web series Divine is being created by Maple Blood Productions, which is a Vancouver-based production company of filmmakers. Ivan Hayden, Supernatural's visual effects supervisor, is involved, as is one of Supernatural's stars, Misha Collins.
Divine appears to be a dark and religious story, with apocalyptic undertones. Here's the official description:
"Coping with his loss of faith, a young priest has his world turned upside-down when he witnesses the resurrection of an immortal being named Divine. Given sanctuary by the church, Divine leads a never-ending crusade to show lost souls they have the power to choose their destiny between good and evil. With guidance from the priest’s mentor and Divine’s street-smart sidekick, the Father must now confront his own demons and the dark forces that challenge Divine."
The cast is populated with a solid group of actors (a few of whom are Canadian). To see the complete cast list, click here. Supernatural's Misha Collins also has a starring role in Divine as Father Christopher.
Divine has both a website (here) and a YouTube page (here). Yesterday, an interesting teaser video was released for the series, which will debut in Summer 2011 (you can watch it below).
Because of our love for Supernatural, and the dark and intriguing look of this teaser, we'll definitely be keeping a close eye on this developing web series!

This has got to be one of the biggest anticpation features for the summer 'web-based' shows. I cannot wait to see the show – the teaser looks amazing as it is.
Amazing teaser. I have been following the news about Divine since the beginning so I am very excited to see how it will look like in the end.
So far? I think it will blow our minds!
So glad to see the world of film expanding in a way that's accessible to the public. Let's go, Divine!
