‘Supernatural’ Star Jensen Ackles Addresses ‘The Winchesters’ Cancellation

Actor Jensen Ackles is best known for his role as Dean Winchester in the 15-second CW series “Supernatural” that ended in 2020.

Although several spin-off series have been teased during the show’s long run, the only show that has caught on is “The Winchesters,” a prequel series that follows the love story of John and Mary Winchester and how they first met.

The series starred Drake Rodgers as young John Winchester and Meg Donnelly as young Mary Winchester for 13 episodes. Although the first season ended on a high note, fans were devastated to learn earlier this month that the show had been canceled by the network.

Although the show has been canceled by the network, the “Supernatural” actor hopes it might be picked up by another network so the Winchesters’ story can continue to be told.

“I feel hopeful and I don’t know if that’s just my optimistic side, which I didn’t know existed in this capacity,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “I’ve moved more towards the curmudgeon, more towards what we all thought Dean Winchester would sink into as he got older. That’s just the Dean in me. But I have crazy confidence for this show and I think a lot of it lies in the energy we have on set with this cast and crew. That crazy confidence is one of the reasons why this show is on the air in the first place, and I think it’s one of the few reasons why it needs to go on somewhere.”

Ackles also said that the fans are “passionate”, adding, “I love about this fandom. I love that they’re so passionate about this world and this universe and these characters that they’re willing to go to the mat for a show like this. I think that speaks volumes, especially to those who are willing to listen and have the power to do something about it.”

While the first season finale looks like it could also serve as a series finale, Jensen Ackles revealed that showrunner Robbie Thompson has a five-season plan for the story. “Hopefully we can make it work,” Ackles said. “I just think there’s a way to keep this going and it would be a shame to let it go.”

“We’re talking not only about the story and where we want to take our cast, we’re talking about who we’re going to bring home from the mothership,” he continued, adding that there are many “Invisible” alums who are disappointed that they didn’t make it into the first season. the plan. “We’ve put together a lot of tricks to keep it up our sleeves and keep it interesting, not just for new fans but for returning fans as well.”

Looking beyond the five seasons, Ackles added, “And then we don’t know what it’s going to look like after that but there’s definitely a way to tie this in like the possible return of Supernatural, which Robbie and I have talked about. It’s something that Jared [Padalecki] and I’ve talked about, what it looks like.”

The actor who plays the young John Winchester, Drake Rodgers, released a statement to EW, saying, “Working on The Winchesters for the past year has been an incredible honor. The fandom is so huge and passionate about this universe. They’ve been so accepting and supportive of the show that, it made the whole process a dream.”

“It would be a shame not to continue exploring the vast world we’ve built and grown to love so much,” he added. “There are so many opportunities for new storylines and perspectives on the Supernatural universe.”

Meg Donnelly, who plays young Mary Winchester, added, “I’ve learned a lot about myself working on this show. The Winchesters is a wonderful story that stops at nothing to help the people you love. There is so much more to this story that needs to be told and it is an honor to continue to play such an iconic character as Mary Campbell.”
