"SUPERNATURAL" Prequel "THE WINCHESTERS" Greenlit For Series At CW

The much rumored about prequel to the CW’s smash hit series ‘Supernatural’ has been greenlit by the network. ‘The Winchesters’ will focus on Sam and Dean Winchester’s parents and their demon hunting family before the events of ‘Supernatural’.

In the prequel 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.”
