The first family of demon hunting is back in the brand new series, The Winchesters.
Once upon a time, The CW network was synonymous with the long-running fantasy drama Supernatural. For 15 years, fans flocked to the series to see what new evil brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) would come across in their hunt to vanquish the various monsters and demons roaming the earth. When the series wrapped in 2020, fans found themselves craving more. Well, more is finally here in the highly-buzzed about prequel, The Winchesters.
While the series features Dean, the story follows his parents in the early stages of their love and hunting partnership. Given the cloud of mystery that surrounded the Winchester matriarch and patriarch on Supernatural, viewers are in for an insightful treat.
Here’s everything we know about The Winchesters season 1.
