The Winchesters Cancelled At The CW - Ending Supernatural Universe

The Supernatural prequel The Winchesters has been officially canceled at The CW. The series was a prequel following the early lives of the parents of Supernatural lead characters Sam and Dean Winchester . The series has been on the bubble since its season 1 finale aired on March 7 as The CW, now under new ownership, has been canceling nearly every series on their current slate, so far only renewing All American and Walker out of their entire lineup.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Now, word has come from Deadline that The Winchesters has officially been cancelled at the CW. In addition to ending the series after one season, this decision also effectively ends the Supernatural universe in its current incarnation. However, the show is reportedly being shopped to find a new outlet.

Does the Supernatural Universe Have a Future? The Winchesters originally premiered two years after the finale of Supernatural ended the long-running series after 15 seasons. While the popular series inspired a multimedia franchise that includes comics and tie-in novels, The Winchesters was the first live-action Supernatural spinoff to make it to air, despite several being developed over the years. Its subsequent short life span may spell bad news for the future of the franchise.

However, The Winchesters wasn't necessarily canceled because of its ratings. It was the third-highest rated scripted program on The CW as of last December, so its cancelation seems to be part and parcel with the network's transition away from their previous programming. Should The CW wish to sever ties with the Supernatural universe completely, it's possible that creators could shop this show or similar spinoffs at other streaming services or networks.
