Supernatural fans, get ready for a potential return to the world of the Winchesters. The CW network is currently developing a prequel series called The Winchesters, which will focus on the parents of Sam and Dean Winchester. The project is executive produced by Jensen Ackles, who played Dean Winchester on the original series, and his wife Danneel, who had a recurring role on Supernatural.
The Winchesters, which has received a script commitment, is being written and executive produced by Robbie Thompson, a former co-executive producer on Supernatural.
After Supernatural wrapped its 15th season, we knew it wasn't over. When Danneel and I formed Chaos Machine Productions, we knew the first story we wanted to tell was the story of John and Mary Winchester, or rather the Supernatural origin story. I always felt like my character, Dean, would have wanted to know more about his parents' relationship and how it came to be.
Supernatural, which ran for 15 seasons, followed the adventures of brothers Dean and Sam Winchester as they battled supernatural creatures. John and Mary Winchester, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Samantha Smith, were key characters in the show. Mary was killed by a demon when Sam was a baby, leading John to become a hunter and teach his sons the family business.
