it’s almost time for Supernatural fans revisit the beloved fictional universe, like the prequel spin-off series, the Winchesters, opens next week. Many are no doubt eager to see which series and EP co-creator Jensen Ackles has up his sleeve for this origin story. Of course, we now know that the series revolves around young John Winchester and Mary Campbell, the parents of OG franchise executives Sam and Dean Winchester. However, more details about the show are still being revealed ahead of its debut. With that, in an exciting turn of events, Ackles is reunited with his partner. Smallville ex Tom Welling for the show, and will play a key role.
News from your cast the Winchesters was confirmed at New York Comic Con this weekend, for television line . And while it’s exciting in itself, fans will be thrilled to learn that Welling will play Samuel Campbell, Mary’s father and Sam and Dean’s maternal grandfather. In Supernatural, the role was originated by Mitch Pileggi, who appeared in a total of eight episodes. Samuel will also be a recurring character in the spin-off series and will make his debut in the seventh episode.
Of course, what makes this news even more exciting is that Tom Welling will be able to team up with his old friend, Jensen Ackles, who narrates the series as Dean Winchester. You will most likely know that Welling starred as Clark Kent in the beloved WB / CW superhero drama. Smallville for 10 years. Ackles was a series regular until Season 4 and played Jason Teague, Lana Lang’s boyfriend. I’m not sure I could have predicted that the two former co-stars would meet this way, but it’s definitely a pleasant one. surprise.
In SupernaturalSamuel Campbell was introduced as an experienced hunter who had a complicated relationship with his grandchildren. During the show, Samuel was killed and eventually resurrected, only to be killed by Sam one last time. the Winchesters will continue to portray Campbell as a “gruff and pragmatic” veteran hunter, according to a character description shared with TVLine. It is also said that by joining her daughter, Mary, to save the world from the dark forces, he will somehow have to mend her relationship with her.
It makes sense for Samuel to appear in the new show. Jensen Ackles, who has invested heavily in the spinoff, has long teased the possible appearance of OG characters. With this new production, Ackles is trying to mix the canon with a new mythology, which can be tricky. Hopefully, he and his colleagues manage to marry the two together to create something that’s faithful to the franchise but just as fresh.
I’m sure Tom Welling will drop his latest concert out of the park and if not, Jensen Ackles will always be able to give him a “pep talk” like he did with the show’s main cast. But in any case I hope the two ex Smallville stars to get along
the Winchesters will premiere on Tuesday, October 11 at 8 p.m. ET as part of the 2022 TV show. You can also stream all 15 seasons of Supernatural and all 10 seasons of Smallville using a Hulu subscription.
