The Winchesters is a supernatural horror series on The CW that began airing on October 11, 2022. It is a prequel of Supernatural, which ended its fifteen-year run in 2020, and is the network's third attempt to spin off the series. Unlike the previous two attempts, which were pitched as backdoor pilots,note "Bloodlines" aired as part of season nine in 2014, while "Wayward Sisters" aired as part of season thirteen in 2018. The Winchesters started out as a standalone pilot, and was picked up to series for The CW's 2022-2023 season. The show is produced by Supernatural star Jensen Ackles, his wife Danneel, and Robbie Thompson.The show focuses on John Winchester (Drake Rodger) and Mary Campbell (Meg Donnelly), the future parents of Dean and Sam Winchester, as they battle dark forces to save their love and the world. Joining forces with hunters Latika Dar (Nida Khurshid) and Carlos Cervantez (Jojo Fleites), their quest leads them to meet Ada Monroe (Demetria McKinney), a bookstore owner with an interest in the occult. Meanwhile, John's mother, Millie (Bianca Kajlich), has been doing her best to protect her son and stop him from hunting or discovering the truth about his father.The series was canceled in 2023, with attempts of finding a new home being unsuccessful, ending the series with just one season.Preview: Official Trailer | |

Gender-Equal Ensemble | |
| The Winchesters / int_1d9af117 | comment |
Gender-Equal Ensemble: The core four consist of two women (Mary and Lata) and two men (Carlos and John). They sometimes skew female when they're joined on a hunt by either Ada or Millie, who are the other two series regulars. Out of the six credited main characters, there are twice as many women as men. As Jojo Fleites is non-binary, although Carlos is male, Drake Rodger is actually the only cis male among the main cast members out-of-universe. | |

Wrongful Accusation Insurance: At the end of "The Tears of a Clown", finding a witness who can testify that Akrida-controlled Kyle lied about being attacked by John in his emergency call to the police is enough to get John cleared of all charges so that he and Mary can return to Lawrence. This is despite the fact that John illegally escaped custody and Mary is known to have helped him do it, assaulting and disabling police officers in the process, which in Real Life would still result in jail time for both of them. | |

In the series's present, he attempts to perform a Grand Theft Me on John and Mary. | |

Horde of Alien Locusts | |
| The Winchesters / int_35d4beb4 | comment |
Horde of Alien Locusts: The Akrida are bug-like Eldritch Abominations said to consume entire worlds. In fact, the word akrida is Ancient Greek for "locust", and they're most likely a reference to the "locusts" (described far more monstrously than real locusts) in the Book of Revelation. Chuck from Supernatural created them to destroy everything in the event that anyone ever managed to defeat him. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The pilot ends with Dean's narration explaining that the story he thought he knew of his parents was different from reality as he researched them. He explains that he's "still putting the pieces together, and there are a lot of surprises ahead," which seemed to be the show addressing fan worries about going against the established history. | |

The Reveal: The reason why this story goes against the established canon is that Dean somehow traveled back in time to give his father a letter, setting John on a different path. The season finale finally explains everything: Dean didn't time travel; after his death in the series finale of Supernatural, he traveled The Multiverse to find a universe where his family had a happier path, confirming that The Winchesters is in an alternate universe from the original show (explaining all the discrepancies). Also, the Akrida were created by Chuck as a backup plan to destroy everything if he lost. | |

Hive Queen | |
| The Winchesters / int_8272ed55 | comment |
Hive Queen: The Akrida have a queen whom their existence in this dimension is tied to, and any Akrida connected to her will die if she does. In the finale of the first season, "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye", it turns out that the queen is not actually an Akrida herself; she's a former hunter and former human named Joan Hopkins from the 17th century who lost all her family and loved ones fighting monsters and stopping apocalypses. So she came to believe that weak humanity, always needing saving by hunters, was the problem and decided to Put Them All Out of My Misery, consuming the essences of monsters to become powerful enough to Kill All Humans. After the Men of Letters banished her, she ended up in the Akrida dimension and gave them a new purpose. This actually makes her closer to a regular queen, apart from the Akrida being connected to her. | |

There Are No Therapists: Averted.

Carlos actually gets a lot out of their first session and decides to keep seeing Dr. Z long-term. John is much less receptive. | |

He sold his soul to obtain the mirror that does this in the first place because he was driven to the Despair Event Horizon by the "one-two punch of the Dust Bowl and the Depression" (as Lata puts it) causing his original carnival to close down, and he needs to spread the magic to keep it up. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| The Winchesters / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: John makes reference to the famous Arc Words in Supernatural, "saving people, hunting things" when speaking to his mother about hunting in the pilot. Mars Neto says that John "has centuries of violence in [his] blood", likely referring to the Winchesters being descended from Cain and Abel. John having been given a music box that plays the song "As Time Goes By" by his father after a night at the cinema was mentioned in a Deleted Scene of the episode "As Time Goes By". invoked As in "Dead Man's Blood", a group of vampires in "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" get a vehicle to stop on the road by pretending to be accident victims (easy for vampires since they lack a pulse). In "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye", Dean knows Carlos by name and Word of God from showrunner Robbie Thompson says this is because the unseen Carlos whom the Winchester brothers spoke with on the phone in the Supernatural episode "Meta Fiction" was his counterpart in the parent series's universe.invoked The incantation the team use to contact Henry Winchester's spirit in "Reflections" is the same one used to communicate with Bobby Singer in Heaven in "Inside Man". | |

Lata's father fought in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 and came back full of anger and is implied to have become physically abusive. When Lata shared some leftover dessert from a meal he'd hosted for work colleagues with their housekeeper Sania, he accused Sania of stealing despite Lata's attempts to defend her, and when Lata ran away because of it, he locked Sania in a room where she froze to death overnight, which Lata blames herself for. | |

Blood Knight: John repeatedly shows indications of being on the path to become this, taking a bit too much pleasure in stabbing or beating creatures to death and getting covered in their Ludicrous Gibs in multiple episodes. It's Discussed or even Invoked by both friends and enemies. In "Masters of War", the god Mars Neto wants to train John into his warrior against the Akrida, and in "Art of Dying", the group draws parallels between John and the ghost of a hunter whose friends turned against him for becoming increasingly dark and aggressive. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| The Winchesters / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: Carlos discusses this trope in the pilot, telling John that "the only thing worse than how it starts for a hunter is how it ends." Carlos became a hunter after killing the ghouls who murdered his family. He felt misplaced guilt for a long time because they were there in Phoenix playing a gig to raise money to buy him the guitar he wanted. Mary is still emotionally scarred from losing her cousin Maggie (who was like a big sister to her after moving in with her family following her own parents' deaths, as well as a best friend to Lata) while hunting vampires a year ago. Both Carlos and John had traumatic experiences where they lost friends during the Vietnam War. Ada had a star-crossed romance with a djinn named Ali, but he eventually went dark side and started feeding on people's minds and was killed by hunters, after which she discovered she was pregnant with their child. She didn't tell her son, Tony, the truth about his father until his powers manifested in puberty, and they became estranged. Mary and John's walk through the former's mind in "Legend of a Mind" exposes two traumatic memories: when she was five and told her parents she was afraid of monsters under her bed, only for them to put a knife in her hand and tell her that monsters were real and it would be her job to hunt them, and when she was ten and killed a boy in a werewolf pack her family hunted, who reverted to human form and begged her not to do it. Lata's father fought in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 and came back full of anger and is implied to have become physically abusive. When Lata shared some leftover dessert from a meal he'd hosted for work colleagues with their housekeeper Sania, he accused Sania of stealing despite Lata's attempts to defend her, and when Lata ran away because of it, he locked Sania in a room where she froze to death overnight, which Lata blames herself for. | |
