How 'The Winchesters' CW plans to satisfy 'Supernatural' fans

Two of the fall season’s biggest new shows, “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” and “House of the Dragon,” have come with high expectations, and at times controversial responses, from viewers. “My fear was, ‘How the heck is this going to work?’” Thompson said of his reaction when “Supernatural” stars Jensen Ackles and Danneel Ackles presented him with the opportunity to do the show. But our biggest audience is 100% ‘Supernatural.’” Marum, like the wider #SPNFamily, initially had questions about “The Winchesters”: Where in the timeline would the show take place? Drake Rodger as John and Meg Donnelly as Mary on “The Winchesters.” ”We had a rule from very early on that we are not breaking anything from ‘Supernatural,’” said Thompson. The ensemble nature of this allows us to have different voices from the jump, while still hopefully living within the tone that ‘Supernatural’ established on the mothership.” Jojo Fleites as Carlos and Nida Khurshid as Latika help fill out the ensemble on “The Winchesters.” Marum has heard from and discussed with fans the reasons for the focus on John and Mary, and though she’s excited to see it play out, she knows that it could be an uphill battle for some diehards.
