Which "Supernatural" Cast Members Will Appear in "The Winchesters"?
Currently, the only cast member from the original "Supernatural" confirmed to appear in "The Winchesters" is Ackles as Dean Winchester, who will narrate the show.
But at New York Comic Con on Oct. 9, where POPSUGAR was on hand, Ackles teased that more original characters could return in the future, saying that if fans give them the "opportunity to tell more of this story," he could "guarantee" they'd see more familiar faces. Showrunner Robert Singer teased the possible return of Misha Collins as Castiel, specifically.
Who Will Play Mary and John in "The Winchesters"?
On "Supernatural," John Winchester was portrayed as an adult by "The Walking Dead"'s Jeffrey Dean Morgan, as a young adult by "General Hospital"'s Matt Cohen, and as a child by Nels Guloien. Mary Winchester also made several appearances throughout "Supernatural"'s run and was portrayed as an adult by Samantha Smith and as a young adult by "Arrow"'s Amy Gumenick.
This time around, Drake Rodger will fill the shoes of young John while "ZOMBIES" star Meg Donnelly will step into the role of young Mary. Joining them are Nida Khurshid as Latika Desai; Jojo Fleites as Carlos Cervantez; Bianca Kajlich as John's mother, Millie Winchester; Demetria McKinney; and Michael Tacconi.
Who Will Play Mary's Father, Samuel Campbell, in "The Winchesters"?
At NYCC, Ackles was excited to reveal that "Smallville" star Tom Welling would be joining the "The Winchesters" cast as Mary's father, Samuel. Ackles and Welling are longtime friends, as the pair worked together on "Smallville," with Ackles starring as Jason Teague throughout season four of the series in 2004 before he moved on to star in "Supernatural." Things are certainly coming full circle now!
Who Are the New Characters in "The Winchesters"?
What's a prequel without some new characters? Khurshid joins the cast as Latika, Mary's librarian friend who's eager to join in on Mary's supernatural-hunting day job. Fleites will play Carlos, Mary's "sexually fluid, hippie, demon hunter" friend, as the NYCC moderator described him. Finally, McKinney will play Ada, a local bookstore owner with knowledge of the supernatural.
