The user asks for Season 12.
The provided synopsis is for Season 11 ("In the show's eleventh season...").
The sources provide general series info (Sam and Dean hunt demons, ghosts, monsters, gods; started in 2005; created by Eric Kripke).
Crucial Problem: There is NO information provided about Season 12 specifically. The synopsis provided is for Season 11.
If I write about Season 12 using only the provided text, I have nothing to write about regarding Season 12's specific narrative arc.
