All day Supernatural fans have been waiting for finally arrived earlier this week, as the drama’s first official spinoff, The Winchesters, debutedPart of the 2022 TV schedule. Although the first hour was not a great one, the show accomplished a lot. This included setting up the Big Bad for season 2. Breaking established canon in many major waysThere are already two key questions about the series. Dean Winchester will be narrating from where and when? Well, the showrunner has now opened up about when fans will get more answers about his time on the new prequel, and if we’ll see any other familiar faces.
What Did The Winchesters’ Showrunner Say About Dean’s Whereabouts On The Show?
I think it’s fair to say that, after those behind SupernaturalAlthough he had made several attempts at spinoffs, it was never successful. Fans were thrilled to see a series focusing on the love story and adventures. John and Mary Winchester (Sam and Dean’s beloved parents) was being spearheaded by the show’s former co-lead, Jensen Ackles. Even better was the news that Jensen Ackles was now the show’s co-lead. His character would be available to narrateThe story. Dean’s exit from the parent-show led to questions about his narration.
Speaking with TVLineRobbie Thompson spoke out about the premiere. He said that Dean’s details will be revealed to viewers in the near future.
For now, it is still a mystery where Dean is. We’ve provided some clues in some of the visuals that I think some fans have already picked up on and have some theories on where he is. We will find out where the handsome young man is relative to Supernatural’s final seasons. . . . These are wonderful theories that I cannot confirm or deny. That will however, be resolved in the first 13 episodes.
Fans were curious about how Dean might be going about finding out more about his parents’ time together, before they got married and had children without Sam. Though Thompson is being super secretive (and reasonably so) about when in the pre-established timeline we’re seeing/hearing from Dean, it’s good to know that there are clues about it and that they’re not going to make us wait forever to find out. I have a theory that I’m sure many other fans have thought of, and I can certainly wait just a few weeks to see if we’re all correct.
Although we loved Dean again on our screens, even for a brief moment, there was another. Supernatural cameo that viewers might have missed, in the form of a voice over from actor Gil McKinney, who played John’s dad, Henry, on the parent series. If you’re wondering whether or not we’ll be seeing/hearing from even more recognizable characters along with The WinchestersCastIn the future, the showrunner will also note:
Absolutely. There will be some Supernatural characters. I’m not at liberty to say who just yet, but in the back part of our first 13 episodes, you will definitely see some familiar faces, which I’m super, super excited about.
You’d think they would have to add more cameos. You have more immortal/magical characters than they do (like a certain faux Norse god and a prophet who’s actually much more), there shouldn’t be a problem when it comes to bringing back some of the folks we know and love for the freshman fantasy.
