It’s nearly time for Supernatural fans to review the cherished imaginary universe, as the spinoff prequel series, The Winchesters, premieres this coming week. Many are no doubt nervous to see what series co-creator and EP Jensen Ackles has up his sleeve for this origin story. Of course, we understand by now that the program focuses on young John Winchester and Mary Campbell, the moms and dads of the franchise’s OG lead characters, Sam and Dean Winchester. However, more information on the program are still being exposed ahead of its launching. With that, in an amazing turn of occasions, Ackles is reuniting with fellow Smallville alum Tom Welling for the program, and he’s going to play a crucial function.
News of his casting in The Winchesters was validated throughout New York Comic Con this weekend, per TVLine. And while that’s amazing by itself, fans will be pleased to understand that Welling is playing Samuel Campbell, the daddy of Mary and the maternal grandpa of Sam and Dean. On Supernatural, the function was come from by Mitch Pileggi, who appeared in an overall of 8 episodes. Samuel will be a repeating character on the spinoff series too and is apparently set to make his launching throughout the seventh episode.
Of course, makes this news a lot more amazing is that Tom Welling will have the ability to partner with his old pal, Jensen Ackles, who tells the program as Dean Winchester. Most most likely understand that Welling famously played the role of Clark Kent on the cherished WB/CW superhero drama Smallville for 10 years. Ackles was a series routine on the program throughout the 4th season and played the function of Jason Teague, the partner of Lana Lang. I’m not exactly sure I might’ve forecasted that the 2 previous co-stars would reunite in this way, however it’s absolutely a welcome surprise.
On Supernatural, Samuel Campbell was presented as a skilled hunter, who had a complex relationship with his grand sons. Over the course of the program, Samuel was eliminated and ultimately reanimated – just to eventually be eliminated by Sam one last time. The Winchesters will still represent Campbell as a “gruff and practical” veteran hunter, according to a character description shown TVLine. It’s likewise stated that as he coordinate with his child, Mary, to conserve the world from dark forces, he’ll need to in some way fix his relationship with her.
It makes good sense that Samuel would appear on the brand-new program. Jensen Ackles, who’s been heavily invested in the spinoff, has actually long teased that OG characters might appear. With this brand-new production, Ackles is looking to mix canon with new mythology, which can be challenging. Hopefully, he and his associates will have the ability to effectively wed the 2 in order to develop something that’s real to the franchise however likewise feels fresh.
I’m sure Tom Welling will knock his newest gig out of the park and, if not, Jensen Ackles can always give him a “pep talk” like he finished with the program’s lead stars. But if anything, I anticipate the 2 previous Smallville stars to get along simply great.
The Winchesters premieres on Tuesday, October 11 at 8 p.m. ET as part of the 2022 TV schedule. You can likewise stream all 15 seasons of Supernatural and all 10 seasons of Smallville utilizing a Hulu subscription.
