The series will focus on John and Mary Winchester (previously played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan (seated left) and Samantha Smith (seated right)), parents of Sam (right) and Dean (left) who were the leads of Supernatural (played by Jared Padalecki and Jensen respectively). Bits and pieces of their back-story were revealed during the 15-season run of Supernatural, but the new show will give us the full story before Mary was killed by a demon making John become a hunter turning his sons into monster hunters in the process.

There is no word right now if Padelecki will be involved at all if the series goes forward, though he will have a second season as Walker on the CW series. Jensen Ackles is currently featured in season 3 of Amazon’s The Boys as Soldier Boy.
