In The Winchesters, the prequel to Supernatural, the viewer discovers the past of Sam and Dean’s parents.
Supernatural ended three years ago, after 15 seasons of good and loyal service. The fantasy series, worn by Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, has left many fans orphans. This is why the CW developed a prequel, this time focusing on their parents, John and Mary Winchester. Told from Dean’s (Ackles) point of view, The Winchesters tells the story of his parents’ love story and how they risked everything to save not only their love, but the entire world.
The first season, made up of 13 episodes, arrives today on Prime Video, via the Warner Pass (accessible to those who subscribe to it). If Supernatural fans will find what they’re looking for with the return of several familiar faces, newbies will also be able to watch it, even without having seen the parent series. As long as you like demon stories of course. The Winchesters indeed uses the same ingredients, between supernatural investigations and exorcisms.
Exit Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles (who co-produces), the two actors this time leave their place to young Meg Donnelly (Zombies) and Drake Rodger (The In Between) to play the young versions of Samantha Smith and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. But what caused a lot of noise last year was the casting announcement of Tom Welling, the unforgettable Superman from Smallville, in a key role.
Unfortunately for them, The Winchesters will not go beyond season 1. Faced with disappointing audiences and mixed reviews, the CW chose not to continue the adventure.
