Mary and John Winchester, two beloved characters from the hit show Supernatural, were supposed to have their own spinoff series called The Winchesters. The show, produced by Jensen Ackles, who played Dean Winchester in the original series, was set to expand the Supernatural universe and delve into the backstory of the Winchester siblings' parents. Unfortunately, The CW recently announced that The Winchesters would not continue beyond its first season, joining the ranks of other canceled shows like Kung Fu and Walker: Independence.

The Winchesters took place years before the events of Supernatural and followed the adventures of young Mary and John as they battled monsters, ghosts, demons, and other supernatural creatures. This would eventually become the family business for their children. Ackles had big plans for the show and even had a five-season storyline mapped out. He expressed his disappointment in the cancelation and his hopes to find another platform to execute his vision.

One of Ackles' ideas was to tie The Winchesters to a possible return of Supernatural in the future. He discussed this concept with fellow Supernatural alum Jared Padalecki, who played Sam Winchester. While Ackles didn't give specifics about how the two shows would intertwine, it was clear that there was potential for a crossover.
