The first Supernatural prequel image arrives revealing the first look at Sam and Dean's parents long before giving birth to the iconic brothers. Entitled The Winchesters, the prequel series will explore the story of how John Winchester met Mary Campbell during their teenage demon-hunting years and fell in love. The Winchesters will also chronicle John's efforts to look into his father's past after returning from the Vietnam war and Mary's search for her missing father, leading them to meet various hunters and hunters-in-training and begin building a legacy of the most formidable hunters in the country.
Drake Rodger and Meg Donnelly are leading the cast of The Winchesters as John and Mary alongside Nida Khurshid, Jonathan Fleites, Demetria McKinney and Bianca Kajlich. Development on the Supernatural prequel series was first announced in mid-2021 when series vet Robbie Thompson signed on to write and executive produce the project alongside Jensen Ackles, who will reprise his role as Dean Winchester as the narrator, and his wife and former co-star Danneel Ackles. After nearly a year of development, The CW officially is moving forward with The Winchesters and has an exciting first look for Supernatural fans.
On the heels of receiving a series order from the network, The CW has revealed the first images from the Supernatural prequel series The Winchesters. The photo offers the first look at Drake Rodger and Meg Donnelly's John and Mary Winchester, Sam and Dean's future parents as they investigate a case in a dark cave. Check out the exciting first images below:
In addition to revealing the first images from the Supernatural prequel series, The CW has announced that The Winchesters will air on Tuesday nights in the 8 p.m. EST/PST slot on the network, replacing Ava DuVernay's recently cancelled Naomi DC series. The Winchesters will share Tuesday nights with fellow new series Professionals starring Smallville's Tom Welling and Doom Patrol's Brendan Fraser. Despite having time slots set for both shows, The CW has yet to properly announce either The Winchesters or Professionals' premiere dates, though if to look at Supernatural's past seasons, it seems likely the former will make its debut in early October.
With a Fall 2022 premiere date confirmed, The Winchesters will officially arrive two years after Supernatural brought an emotional conclusion to Sam and Dean's monster-hunting years and saw the brothers reunited in Heaven. The Winchesters marks a historic first for the Supernatural franchise, becoming the only proposed spinoff of the long-running series to actually be ordered to series, with other failed attempts including the Chicago-set Supernatural: Bloodlines and Jody Mills-led Wayward Sisters. While audiences await further details on The Winchesters' premiere date, they can catch up with the entirety of Supernatural available to stream on Netflix now.
