“The Winchesters” is centered around the epic, untold love story of how John and Mary and how they put it all on the line to not only save their love but also the entire world.
It is written and executivly produced by Robbie Thompson, who formerly co-executive produced the original source material. The Ackles will also executive producing along with Thompson.
Despite Ackles and Padalecki starred on Supernatural as the Winchester brothers for 15 years, the prequel will not feature Padalecki.
Padalecki shared on Twitter that he didn’t know anything about the show’s development and only heard about it the same way most fans did.
“Dude. Happy for you. Wish I heard about this some way other than Twitter. I’m excited to watch, but bummed that Sam Winchester had no involvement whatsoever.” Padalecki tweeted on Friday.

The tweet caught many Supernatural fans by surprise given the two actors' close friendship, a fan thought Jared was joking with his tweet, with one fan tweeting, "this has GOTTA be a bad joke… this ain't it sirs we're freaking out."
However, Padalecki affirmed that he wasn't joking, replying to the tweet with a message reading, "No. It's not. This is the first I've heard about it. I'm gutted."
