Diehard fans of the immensely popular series ‘Supernatural’ might already be aware of yesterday’s announcement about the inception of a spin-off show titled ‘The Winchesters’ (via Deadline). The show is reportedly a prequel to ‘Supernatural’ and the untold love story of Dean and Sam Winchester’s parents John and Mary Winchester will be the show’s focal point.
It was further reported that Jensen Ackles, who played the role of Dean Winchester in the original series, will act as the show’s narrator besides also being the executive producer.
However, Jensen’s on-screen brother Jared Padalecki, who essayed Sam Winchester’s role, was apparently unaware of the prequel’s development. Yesterday, Jared took to Twitter and expressed his anguish to have learned about the prequel in the works from Twitter and about him not being involved with the project whatsoever.
Dude. Happy for you.
Wish I heard about this some way other than Twitter.
I’m excited to watch, but bummed that Sam Winchester had no involvement whatsoever. https://t.co/bAcEvFKM7p— Jared Padalecki (@jarpad) June 25, 2021
In a subsequent Tweet, Jared thanked everyone for all the love but requested them not to send any hate messages or threats.
Hey world.
Thank you for the love.
Please PLEASE don’t send any hate or threats.
I care deeply about everybody involved and would be in true misery if any of them were harmed or threatened.— Jared Padalecki (@jarpad) June 25, 2021
A few hours later, it seemed that Jared had straightened out the issue as the dashing actor informed Twitteratis that he and Jensen Ackles had a talk about the show and its stage of development. His tweet concluded with the words: “Once brothers, always brothers’.
@JensenAckles and I had a great talk, as we do often, and things are good.
The show is early in the process with miles to go.
We’ve travelled a lot of roads together, and sometimes those damn roads have bumps.
Bumps don’t stop us.
Once brothers, always brothers. #spnfamily— Jared Padalecki (@jarpad) June 25, 2021
Jensen Ackles, who is currently in the news for playing Super Soldier in ‘The Boys S3’, promptly replied to Jared’s Tweet.
Love you @jarpad …
Miss these talks. I forgot how much face time we always used to get. And I miss that too. I know you’re busy…as am I, but you’re still my brother. I miss you, pal. https://t.co/KtRKYkvc2K— Jensen Ackles (@JensenAckles) June 25, 2021
Now that the popular demon hunter duo seemed to have broken the ice between them, we are thrilled to learn about the intriguing premise of ‘Supernatural’ prequel ‘The Winchesters’ and are waiting with bated breath for the show’s small screen arrival.
Eric Kripke’s television series ‘Supernatural’ first aired in the year 2005 and the story followed the adventures of the Winchester brothers (played by Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki), who emulate their father (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and hunt dangerous supernatural entities. The debut season was an instant hit amongst supernatural aficionados and eventually spanned a whopping 15 seasons that were aired until the year 2019.
