The Greatest Fantasy Drama of All Time Comes Back in a Big Way Following Shock Netflix Exit
When she isn’t sitting behind her laptop bringing readers her hot takes on upcoming projects or keeping the dream alive in the Senior News team, Britta can usually be found outside hiking or inside behind her drum set. She currently plays in two bands, Kid Midnight and Watergate, both based in Brooklyn. An obsessive traveler, Britta loves long road trips to the South West and has a soft spot in her heart for canyons, rivers, and forests.
She also has a tiny cat named Athena that she loves more than anything else in the world and is always happy for new brewery recs.
When the series initially bowed out on November 19, 2020, the creative team did so without leaving any stone unturned. We won’t spoil it for you here, but they essentially did everything in their power to give audiences an emotionally satisfying conclusion. However, as is the case with so many favorite titles, the Supernatural fandom has long been crying for the familiar faces to return to the fold for one (or many) more seasons. Hoping to satiate the dedicated following’s cries, Ackles, along with wife Danneel Ackles and Robbie Thompson, struck out to deliver a prequel series, titled The Winchesters. The project focused on the younger lives of Sam (Padalecki) and Dean’s (Ackles) parents, Mary and John Winchester, with Meg Donnelly and Drake Rodger in the roles, respectively. Although the series ran for just one season, it was a fun way to explore the lore of the Supernatural multiverse and bring characters like Dean, Loki (Richard Speight Jr.), Rowena (Ruth Connell), Bobby (Jim Beaver), and Jack (Alexander Calvert) back into the fold.
