With “Supernatural’s” massive 15-season run, you would think that the spin-off/prequel series “The Winchesters” would at least last a couple of seasons, but you would be wrong. “The Winchesters” has now been axed by The CW after just one season.
But before “Supernatural,” fans get upset. There is a glimmer of hope. Warner Bros. is currently searching for a new home for the series. The question is, who, if anyone, will pick it up?
“The CW has opted not to pick up a second season of The Winchesters. The news is not surprising; the Supernatural prequel was among the long-shot renewal prospects at the network under its new ownership as it focuses on unscripted and lower-cost scripted programming (primarily international acquisitions/co-productions) in pursuit of profitability.” Deadline reports.
In the series, “Mary (Meg Donnelly) is 19 years old and has been fighting the forces of darkness since she was a child. After losing someone close to her, the hardened hunter considers quitting the family business — until her father’s disappearance and the arrival of newcomer John (Drake Rodger) forces her to lead a new team.
John 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.”
“Supernatural” star Jensen Ackles narrated the series.
