If you’re a fan of the cult classic TV series Supernatural, then you’d love to know that a spinoff of the show is in the works. The series is titled The Winchesters, and it is an official prequel to Supernatural, depicting the characters of John Winchester and Mary Campbell, the parents of Sam and Dean Winchester.
The show is developed by Robbie Thompson, who used to write for Supernatural; Jensen Ackles, who played Dean Winchester in the original Supernatural series; and Danneel Ackles, actress, and wife of Jensen. Jensen and Danneel came up with the idea of a prequel during COVID lockdown, according to an interview Ackles did with Variety: “We were sitting around when COVID hit going, ‘You know what would be cool? If we went back in time and we saw the story of mom and dad and how they met — but do it in a way that skews the narrative so that we hit those waypoints that we established on ‘Supernatural,’ but get you from A to B, B to C, C to D in an unexpected way.’ And then we found a way to continue that story that might be surprising, but always keeping in our back pocket getting us back to the established mythology, which is not an easy task. It’s not an easy map to draw, but we’re doing our best.”
The Winchesters are expected to premiere on The CW on October 11, 2022. The series will be narrated by Jensen Ackles, presumably reprising his role in the original series. In an interview with TVLine, Ackles expressed his excitement over the shog: “The great thing about this world is that nothing is off the table. We have ways of bringing back fan-favorite characters and the actors that played them. We also have ways of bringing back younger versions of those characters.”
The Winchesters has been able to assemble an impressive list of cast members, some of whom have appeared in significant blockbusters in the past.
