After a breathtaking 15-year run, The CW’s Supernatural concluded its journey in the fall of 2020 with heartfelt and tearful goodbyes. However, what did happen before Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean’s (Jensen Ackles) father went on a hunting trip? What’s the origin of the Winchesters, and also how did the Supernatural storyline come to be? The Winchesters, a loving tribute to the fans who can’t get enough of the notoriously famous family of hunters, courtesy of Jensen and Danneel Ackles.
Supernatural spinoffs have been discussed for quite some time. The CW cancelled Supernatural: Bloodlines early in its development in 2014. Another promising concept, Wayward Sisters, was cancelled in 2017 after two years of development without even receiving a pilot episode. The news of rejected spinoffs disappointed fans until The Winchesters got the green light, being the first Supernatural spinoff show to receive an official series order.
The Winchesters, an idea conceived by Jensen and Danneel Ackles during the 2020 pandemic lockdown, delves into the historical past of the Winchester family, specifically John and Mary Winchester, the parents of everyone’s beloved hunter brothers, Sam and Dean. Even though they were not physically present for the majority of the original show, their influence can be found in almost all of the storylines.
There have been several hints at the hunting family’s origins, from the strange Men of Letters to Mary’s own history as a hunter, but never a full explanation of how they got into this dangerous line of work. The Winchesters will add to our understanding of John and Mary’s humble and violent beginnings, as well as provide a glimpse even farther up the Winchester family tree.
Season 1 of The Winchesters has already wrapped filming, so it’s time to get ready for the return of our favorite family of demon-killing, vampire-slashing monster hunters. Let’s take a quick look at just about everything we know so far about The Winchesters, the upcoming Supernatural prequel series.
The Winchesters are well-known to Supernatural viewers. They have been portrayed as humanity’s last line of defense, as the ones who keep the balancing act of good and evil in check, as mere mortals who regularly tussle with demonic sometimes and godly entities in the parent show. However, as they discover during in the events of Supernatural, all of one‘s knowledge, skills, and fighting spirit were passed down to them as they inherited their family legacy, albeit in an indirect way. So, what exactly was this legacy?
According to Danneel Ackles’ Instagram, Season 1 of The Winchesters has encased filming in New Orleans. The very first teaser revealed that The Winchesters’ first season will premiere in the fall of 2022. Since then, we’ve learned that the show will debut on The CW on Tuesday, October 11, 2022. All episodes of The Winchesters would then air on Tuesdays at 8 p.m., according to the network’s full fall 2022 schedule.
