According to Ackles’ tweet, it’s clear that the actor is wasting no time putting in the effort to achieve this.

With Meg Donnelly and Drake Rodger, The Winchesters originates from Supernatural trio of Robbie Thompson, Jensen Ackles and Danneel Ackles, Warner Bros. Television and CBS Studios.

Written and produced by Thompson, The Winchesters is a prequel to the CW feature film Supernatural, centering on Dean and Sam Winchester’s parents – John and Mary. Told from the point of view of narrator Dean Winchester (voiced by Jensen Ackles), The Winchesters is the epic, never-before-told love story of how John (Rodger) met Mary (Donnelly) and how they put everything on the line to not only save their love but the entire world.
