What’s This TV Show About?
A fantasy-horror series airing on The CW television network, The Winchesters TV show is a prequel of sorts to the Supernatural series. It stars Meg Donnelly, Drake Rodger, Jonathan ”JoJo” Fleites, Nida Khurshid, Demetria McKinney, Bianca Kajlich, and Jensen Ackles (narration). Told from the perspective of narrator Dean Winchester (Ackles), the series tells the untold love story of how his parents, veteran John Winchester (Rodger) and demon hunter Mary Campbell (Donnelly), put it all on the line not only to save their love but the entire world. The two cross paths as they’re each searching for information about their fathers. They join forces with young hunter-in-training Latika (Khurshid) and easygoing hunter Carlos (Fleites) to uncover the hidden truths about both their families. Their investigation leads them to a rare book emporium, whose owner, Ada (McKinney), has an interest in the occult and could provide the missing pieces to their puzzle.
Season One Ratings
The first season of The Winchesters averaged a 0.07 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 463,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how The Winchesters stacks up against other The CW TV shows.
The Winchesters has been cancelled, so there will not be a second season. Could the series be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will The CW cancel or renew The Winchesters for season two? The Supernatural series was very successful for the network, so we know there’s a built-in audience for this series, but it wasn’t a big hit. Nexstar now runs the network and wants to make it profitable by 2025 so its primarily focusing on inexpensive and acquired programming. Word is that most of the CW’s 2022-23 scripted shows will be cancelled to keep expenses low. Given that Winchesters’ ratings aren’t stellar and the first season’s finale gave some closure, I don’t think it is coming back. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

What do you think? Were you hoping The Winchesters TV show would be renewed for a second season? Are you sorry that The CW cancelled this TV series instead?
The Winchesters is amazing, it’s a “prequel” but a sequel at the same time because Dean went to find an0ther universe where his parents would have a shot at a happy ending, Seeing Dean, Bobby, and Jack again was great, Season 2 feels inevitable, So Nexstar please for the love of god renew The Winchesters for more seasons.
Network would either be cray or stupid to cancel a great show like this
I have only started watching the CW channel because of the show the whinchesters. I hope there will be another season, but if not I guess I’ll have to cancel the CW channel
If you watched the season finale, you would know that the Winchesters is a sequel not a prequel to Supernatural.
I enjoy the Winchesters and like to see the new adventures of them before Dean and Sam
Yes please dont cancel this show , come out with season 2 ,
I am really loving this show! Please don’t cancel!
Oh my god!! I thought we had the Winchester Finale tonight and instead, there was some Valentine dog clips. Please RENEW The Winchester.
Please renew this show. I absolutely love it and can’t wait for more
I really hope it gets renewed for season two and beyond! I absolutely love it!
If they ca n cel the Winchesters they would be stupid cause the ratings are good and they will go up in the 2nd and 3rd season
Yeah what they said can’t believe going down this road again.every time I find something that makes life a little better I get kicked in the ass. You would be a fool if you didn’t follow thru with it. So let’s see where it takes us
