The Winchesters Episode 1
Two years after the extremely successful and popular CW show Supernatural came to an end, the CW are back with a new spin-off around the Winchester Family that hunts demons and monsters for a living.
Going way back in time before Season 1 of Supernatural, The Winchesters takes a look at Sam and Dean Winchester’s parents John and Mary. The Winchesters is a love story that takes fans back to the time when Dean was looking for his Dad (John Winchester) and his infamous line, “Dad’s on a hunting trip and he hasn’t been home in a few days.”
The new spin-off series shows Dean finding out how his dad became a hunter and how he met Mary. With a retro and comedic take to the 15-year-long emotional and fun show, The Winchesters is set to show fans the insane adventures that made John fall in love with Mary and how he too started hunting for demons after meeting her.
If you’ve been following Supernatural, you may be curious to find out when this new prequel is releasing. Well, wonder no more!
Here is everything you need to know about The Winchesters Episode 1, including its release date, time and where you can watch this.
Where Can I Watch The Winchesters?
The Winchesters will be available to watch on the CW Network in the US. Also expect it to be available on the CW website the day after. Despite Supernatural airing on Amazon Prime video, there’s currently no word on international streaming unfortunately.
The Winchesters Episode 1 Release Date
Episode 1 of The Winchesters will release globally on Tuesday 11th October at 8pm (ET)/(PT).
Expect Season 1 of this CW series to have 13 episodes with each episode being roughly 1 hour long. Also expect episodes to drop with subtitles too.
How Many Episodes Will The Winchesters Season 1 Have?
It has been revealed that the The Winchesters will have a total of 13 episodes, with one episode releasing each week.
Actor Jensen Ackles will reprise the role of Dean Winchester even if it is for a limited appearance. Since the events of the new show will take place when Dean’s younger brother Sam Winchester was in college, it cannot be expected that actor Jared Padalecki will make an appearance in the new series.
However, there is a possibility that other actors who were seen and loved in the popular original show will make an appearance in the upcoming spin-off show.

Aside from Mrs. Winchester and John, I did not find the other characters to be particularly likable. The character of young Mary is much too jaded (imo) and nothing like the character we saw in the episode, ‘In the Beginning’, from 2008. We understand that Amy Gumenick is older now and perhaps can’t play that same character today. but this new character seems nothing like her (imo).
I really wish Jensen Ackles would refrain from trying to milk this story for more money. Supernatural ended at an appropriate time, and it should remain ended (imo) for now. Perhaps a limited run of new episodes in the future would be nice, but the story has been told.
Long time Supernatural fan…..after seeing the pilot I can’t watch! Sidekick characters are terrible!
