SUPERNATURAL Prequel Series THE WINCHESTERS Casts Sam and Dean's Parents
The CW’s Supernatural prequel series, The Winchesters, has found its stars with Meg Donnelly (American Housewife, Z-O-M-B-I-E-S) and Drake Rodger (The In Between). They will play Mary and John Winchester, the future parents of Supernatural characters Sam and Dean. Jensen Ackles, who played Dean in the long-running series, will narrate the pilot and serve as an executive producer.
“Told from Dean’s perspective, The Winchesters will follow the epic, untold love story of how John met Mary and how they put it all on the line to not only save their love, but the entire world.
“Donnelly’s Mary Campbell is a 19-year-old who’s been fighting the forces of darkness for most of her life. After losing someone close to her, she considers quitting the family business — until her father’s disappearance and the arrival of newcomer John Winchester forces her to lead a new team. John Winchester (Rodger) has recently returned from Vietnam. Selfless and clear-headed, he finds a new mission back home, where traces of his father’s past lead him to a secret organization and a whole new war as a hunter.”
Samantha Smith and Jeffrey Dean Morgan recurred as the older versions of these two characters in Supernatural.
Supernatural veteran Robbie Thompson is writing The Winchesters and will executive produce with Jensen and Danneel Ackles via their Chaos Machine banner. Glen Winter will direct and be an EP on the pilot. Warner Bros. TV (where Chaos Machine has an overall deal) and CBS Studios are producing.
