It's finally time for 'Supernatural' fans to breathe a sigh of relief.
From 2005 to 2020, the CW drama series followed the Winchester brothers Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) as they rescue people, hunt things down, and generally go about their daily lives.
Despite the fact that showrunner Eric Kripke only intended to run the show for five seasons, it quickly became a pop-culture sensation as it followed the Winchester family as they explored the world of angels, demons and even demons. He had tried to save himself from God.
Despite the fact that both Winchester brothers have gone to heaven with Baby (Dean's black 1967 Chevy Impala), the "Supernatural" franchise is still alive and well... at least, that's what fans hope.

The pilot "The Winchesters," a one-hour prequel to the series, was given the green light by The CW on Thursday. Dean will be the narrator and the series will be told from his point of view, with Ackles reprising his role as Dean. The love story between Dean's parents, John and Mary, will be narrated by Dean.
Ackles and Daniel Harris' production company, Chaos Machine Productions, will executive produce "The Winchesters". It is billed as "the epic, untold love story of how John met Mary and how he risked everything to save not only his love, but the entire world."
Older versions of John and Mary on the long-running series were played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Samantha Smith of "The Walking Dead" fame. In flashbacks, Matt Cohen and Amy Gumenick played John and Mary when they were little. It is not clear whether he will return in this new project.
Another well-known name, "Supernatural" co-executive producer Robbie Thompson, will write and produce the series. Apart from this, some details about the show are available at this time. The CW officially put a "Supernatural" prequel in development last June, but it's the first step toward a potential new series that has previously seen unsuccessful spin-offs like the "Wayward Sisters."
'Walker' also receives pilot order for prequel

While Jensen Ackles plays Soldier Boy for Season 3 of "The Boys" (directed by Eric Kripke), Jared Padalecki has channeled his inner Chuck Norris and Walker plays the Texan Ranger, who is now just "Walker."
The show debuted in January 2021 and has already been renewed for one more season. Padalecki plays Cordell Walker, a widower and father of two children, who returns to Austin to find out what happened to his wife. His real-life wife, Genevieve Padalecki, portrays Emily Walker in the film.
When Genevieve was cast as one of the versions of the demon Ruby in the early season of "Supernatural", Genevieve and Jared first met on set. Odette Elliot Padalecki, Austin Shepherd Padalecki, and Thomas Colton Padalecki are the parents of the couple's three children.
If the show goes ahead, Padalecki will serve as an executive producer for the "Walker" spin-off and prequel series, titled "Walker: Independence."
The possible prequel series has been described as:
The tentative series is set in the 1800s and follows Abby Walker, a wealthy Bostonian whose husband is murdered before her eyes while out west. Abby meets Hoyt Rollins, who is a lovable scoundrel who seeks a purpose while he seeks vengeance. Abby and Hoyt's journey takes them to Independence, Texas, where they meet a diverse group of people who are from their own dark pasts. Running away and chasing their dreams.In a city where nothing is as it seems, our new family will struggle to adjust to the changing world around them while becoming change agents.
Wait... what about Misha Collins?

Mischa Collins, Angel Castiel, is still running GISHWHES, which stands for "The Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen", which began in 2011 and reached over 55,000 participants in 2016.
Although the competition encourages people to do acts of kindness and strive to "do good in the world", the bizarre and outlandish acts have broken several Guinness World Records, including the longest safety pin chain in 2013.
On October 12, 2021, Collins will publish "Some Things I Still Can't Tell You," a poetry collection. He said of the book, "both celebration and aspiration for a life well lived."
