The news of the Supernatural prequel was announced by Supernatural actor Jensen Ackles in a Deadline interview where he stated, “After Supernatural wrapped its 15th season, we knew it wasn’t over. Because like we say in the show, ‘nothing ever really ends, does it?”
Oh please I would love for Rob and Rich to make a cameo on the Winchesters. I love them and I love Gabriel and love/hate Chuck.

Ackles also mentioned his vision for the story stating, “So when Danneel and I formed Chaos Machine Productions, we knew the first story we wanted to tell was the story of John and Mary Winchester, or rather the Supernatural origin story. I always felt like my character, Dean, would have wanted to know more about his parents’ relationship and how it came to be. So I love the thought of having him take us on this journey.”
