However, this isn’t the only big announcement by the network about the latest spinoff series.

Over the weekend, the network announced at the New York Comic Con that Smallville alum Tom Welling is now a part of the series cast.

The official synopsis of The Winchesters series reads:
“Before Sam and Dean, there was John and Mary. Told from the perspective of Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles), The Winchesters is the epic, untold love story of how John met Mary and how they put it all on the line not only to save their love but the entire world.”

The series dives deep into Sam and Dean’s parents’ life which wasn’t discussed much in the Supernatural series. Although Jared Padalecki isn’t a part of this spinoff, Jensen Ackles will be narrating the story. The possibility of a spinoff about Mary and John Winchesters was already established back in the original series. The Winchesters will show more of their lineage as members of the Men Of Letters and as a family dedicated to hunting down the monsters.
When Will The Winchesters Season 1 Episode 2 Air?
Talking about the series before its premiere, Jensen said, “That’s kind of the exciting thing, in my opinion, is that the waypoints or the tentpoles that were established on the mothership, as we lovingly call it, those will get touched on. But we’ll get to those waypoints in a way that we probably didn’t expect. And that’s what we’re really having fun with is, like, the story is coming together. It’s not the washed version. It’s not the sugar-coated version of how mom and dad met. This is like what really happened.”
