Will There Be a The Winchesters Season 2 Release Date & Is It Coming Out?

Developed by Robbie Thompson, The Winchesters is a spin-off of and prequel to Supernatural, which originally aired on the CW (previously, the WB) between 2005 and 2020. The plot revolves around Mary Campbell and John Winchester, the eventual parents of Sam and Dean Winchester, the sibling protagonists of the original series, as they hunt monsters and fall in love. Season 1 aired on The CW between October 11, 2022, and March 7, 2023. If you are wondering whether there will be a second season, this is what we have discovered.

Here’s all we know about The Winchesters Season 2 and whether or not it’s coming out.

Is there a The Winchesters Season 2 release date?

There is no The Winchesters Season 2 release date as the show was canceled after the first season.

In May 2023, the CW announced that they would not be picking up The Winchesters for its sophomore season. The news was mostly expected as the network, which came under the ownership of Nexstar Media Group in 2022, had decided to concentrate its resources on unscripted and lower-cost scripted programming for cost-effective reasons. The Winchesters was not one of the high-performing shows on the CW, despite having an in-built audience base due to Supernatural. Warner Bros. Television, one of the production companies behind the series, had already begun shopping for a new network by then.

However, by June 2023, the show was officially scrapped, as the efforts to find a new home for it didn’t produce any result. Executive producer Jensen Ackles, who also portrays Dean Winchester in the Supernatural universe, took to Twitter (now known as X) to confirm the news). He thanked the fans, cast, and crew and cited the network shift and the 2023 writers’ strike as the reasons for the show’s cancellation.

“To all of you who watched, followed, and supported this story, THANK YOU,” the actor posted. “And to all those who brought this show to life…I couldn’t be more proud of what we all did together. But as they say…timing is everything. With a massive Network shift coupled with an industry strike…welp…that’s some unfortunate timing. Sleep well dear @WinchestersOnCW …until we meet again. Somewhere down the road.”

The cast of The Winchesters includes Meg Donnelly as Mary Campbell, Drake Rodger as John Winchester, Nida Khurshid as Latika “Lata” Desai, Jojo Fleites as Carlos Cervantez, Demetria McKinney as Ada Monroe, Bianca Kajlich as Millie Winchester, Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester, Tom Welling as Samuel Campbell, and more.

Why The Winchesters Season 2 isn’t happening

The Winchesters Season 2 isn’t coming out because, as mentioned above, the CW canceled the series after Season 1. ComingSoon will provide an update if the circumstances change.

The official synopsis for The Winchesters reads:

“Before Sam and Dean, there was John and Mary. Told from the perspective of narrator Dean Winchester, this is the epic, untold love story of how John met Mary, and how they put it all on the line to not only save their love, but the entire world.”
