The prequel-spinoff to the community’s moderately well-known (and infamously unkillable) sequence Supernatural handiest lasted one season earlier than the plug used to be pulled. In a while after that, its actors and inventive ability stated they’d try to discover a new house for a hypothetical 2nd season, however the ones plans have come to an finish.
In line with Deadline, Warner Bros. TV has stopped seeking to ship The Winchesters to every other community or streamer, that means it’ll stay canceled.
