Supernatural Makes Headroom for Pestilence

The next Horseman is coming to Supernatural, and he's played by beloved figure to sci-fi fans. Matt Frewer, who played the iconic Max Headroom -- both in many a 1980s TV commercial and in the TV series of the same name – will portray the latest member of the Four Horsemen to be introduced to Supernatural, reports TVGuide.com's Natalie Abrams.

Frewer's many credits include his role on Eureka and two Zack Snyder films, Dawn of the Dead and Watchmen (where he played ex-supervillain Moloch). We like Frewer so much, we're even amused by his turn as the villain in the infamous Marvel Comics based TV-Movie, Generation X.

We've already seen War (Titus Welliver) and Famine COLD CASE dvd (James Otis) this season on Supernatural, and Pestilence will show up in episode 20 of Season 5, Supernatural Executive Producer (and future showrunner) Sera Gamble tells Abrams.

Says Gamble, "Our first brush with him in Episode 520 seems relatively innocuous and then unfolds into something more substantial. Put it to you this way: Horsemen on our show tend to think several moves ahead."

This leaves Death as the only Horeseman yet to be cast.
