The Winchesters is the latest series cancelled by The CW, but viewers could see the series still return for a second season.
Starring Meg Donnelly, Drake Rodger, Jonathan ”JoJo” Fleites, Nida Khurshid, Demetria McKinney, Bianca Kajlich, and Jensen Ackles (as narrator, above), The Winchesters is a spin-off of Supernatural, which aired for 15 seasons. The series follows Sam and Dean’s parents, Mary and John Winchester, as they fight to save the world while falling in love.
The series debuted in October and ended its first season run of 13 episodes on March 7th on The CW. The cancellation was likely due to the network being under new ownership and its new focus on unscripted and lower-cost scripted programming.
Per Deadline, Jensen and Danneel Ackles executive produce the show via their banner Chaos Machine Productions. Chaos Machine produced in association with Warner Bros. TV and CBS Studios.
The cancellation doesn’t come as much of a surprise, so Warner Bros. TV has been prepping to shop the series elsewhere. The word is that the studio will be aggressively trying to find a new home for the show Jensen Ackles isn’t wasting any time trying to mobilize fans of the series and letting potential new homes for the spin-off know that there is still interest in a second season.

What do you think? Are you disappointed by The CW cancellation? Do you want to see The Winchesters return for a second season?
I love Jensen. Not watched Winchester, but i want him back on Big Sky.
it was a decent show, even with the “canon” changes, would like to see it continue, maybe with some of the demons/monsters from supernatural making appearances, while I would like to see a network pick it up ( nbc,cbs,abc). a streaming network might give the show a chance to be more edgy…not that it needs swearing to make it better, but maybe more graphic “kills / attacks ” sadly it would also mean the show would only get 6,8, or 10-13 episodes a season, but at least it would still have a chance to continue a few more seasons. i… Read more »
So many better shows deserve additional seasons, this one ain’t one of them. Supernatural should go into its grave and be salted and burned. We don’t need any prequels, sequels, parallels or anything else. 15 years was more than plenty. Only the first 5 seasons were any good.
Put on the stream HBOMax or netflix . All this big
NBC ,CW if still existing this network .ABC CBS , FOX the top management or top banana wants $$$$
Honestly, I’m agreeing with WatcherX, just stream it to HBOMax its not like they don’t already have a platform to air it. Plus, we’re talking only 10-13 episodes for a season anyways.
Really wish producers and show runners would stop this nonsense that these shows have a chance at finding a new home. It only happens so rarely. Just let fans grieve their show and move on.
If Warner Bros really wanted to save their shows, why are they acting like they don’t own (HBO) Max? Why don’t they fund it and put it there? This is all nonsense to pretend they’re doing something.
If companies are being taken over and made profitable in a very short time, while shedding the things that are the backbone of the company…that means it is being prepared to be sold off again.
The company that did the initial takeover now has a lot of content and IP added to their portfolio, taken out a competitor and if they can sell the profitable part off for a good price, it will have costed them hardly anything in the process.
