The CW has released a new poster for The Winchesters, the network’s upcoming Supernatural prequel. The series is set to debut on Tuesday, October 11th at 8/7c and if the new poster is any indication, viewers are in for a creepy “supernatural love story”. The poster features Drake Rodger’s John Winchester and Meg Donnelly’s Mary Winchester standing in the center of what appears to be demonic hands folded in the shape of a heart. You can check the poster out for yourself below.
What is The Winchesters about?
According to the series’ official description, “Before Sam and Dean, there was John and Mary. Told from the perspective of Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles), The Winchesters is the epic, untold love story of how John met Mary and how they put it all on the line not only to save their love, but the entire world.” The series is set to dive into the couple’s origin story and will be narrated by Dean.

How does The Winchesters fit into established Supernatural canon?
According to Ackles, canon that was already established with John and Mary in Supernatural — particularly their lineage as members of the Men of Letters and a family of monster hunters — will be navigated in a unique way in the prequel series.
“That’s kind of the exciting thing, in my opinion, is that the waypoints or the tentpoles that were established on the mothership, as we lovingly call it, those will get touched on,” Ackles previously said. “But we’ll get to those waypoints in a way that we probably didn’t expect. And that’s what we’re really having fun with is, like, the story is coming together. It’s not the washed version. It’s not the sugar-coated version of how mom and dad met. This is like what really happened.”
He continued, “But we do play into the moments that were discussed and that were talked about, just maybe in a slightly varied way that seems like, ‘Whoa, wait, we knew that happened, but I didn’t know that’s why it happened or that’s how it happened.’”
Who stars in The Winchesters?
In addition to Ackles, Donnelly, and Rodger, The Winchesters stars Bianca Kajilich as Millie Winchester, Demetria McKinney as Ada Monroe, Nida Khurshid as Latika Desai, and Jojo Fleites as Carlos Cervantez. It was also recently announced that Bridget Regan, who may be best known to The CW audiences for her appearance as Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy on Batwoman, had been cast as Rockin’ Roxy, a character described as a “honey-voiced pirate radio DJ” who has taken over the airwaves in Lawrence, Kansas to “broadcast a wicked new sound. Not surprisingly, being the world of Supernatural and all, Roxy’s listeners aren’t all of the human variety.”
The Winchesters will debut on Tuesday, October 11th at 8/7c on The CW.
