‘The Winchesters’ Trailer Reveals What Brought John & Mary Campbell Together (VIDEO)
“This is the story of how John Winchester met Mary Campbell, and how looking for their fathers brought them together,” Jensen Ackles says in his signature low growl at the top of the trailer for The Winchesters, above. Played by Drake Rodger and Meg Donnelly, the story of how Dean and Sam Winchester’s parents got together is the driving tale behind The Winchesters. And in the all new trailer for The CW‘s Supernatural prequel, John and Mary’s meeting is far from a meet-cute.
In The Winchesters, Mary has already gone up against her fair share of demons by the time she meets the very green John. Now an experienced hunter, she’s searching for her missing father. And the new trailer reveals that John came home from the Vietnam War to find his father missing. Mary drops the news to him that his dear old dad was also hunting demons from hell. Check out the full promo, above.
The new Winchesters trailer raises the stakes from previous teasers with quit cuts to the other worldly threats John, Mary, and their friends — fellow hunter Carlos Cervantez (JoJo Fleites), rare book shop owner/occult expert Ada Monroe (Demetria McKinney), and librarian Latika Desai (Nida Khurshid) — encounter.
In one moment, a demon’s black smoke raids Ada’s store, sending books flying off the shelves as she flees. But it then enters Ada’s body in a truly spooky moment. Not a highlight of her day, no doubt. Still, John finds the threats thrilling. And as for John, where past trailers made it seem he happened upon demon hunting by chance, these new Winchesters clips show there was much more planning involved.
Premiering October 11, The Winchesters Episode 1 will feature Ackles’ return as Dean Winchester, though he’ll only appear in one episode (he also executive produces the series for The CW). Have no fear, Baby will be with him.

I agree with Samantha Hagen. John became a hunter after Mary was killed. I was looking forward to this show. Now not so much.

I'm very interested to see The Winchester series play out. I think Jensen, playing a Winchester for 15 years, will have a great story to tell. I think John knew to much about hunting for him to walk into like he did. And YES I watched ALL 15 seasons.

Will be checking this out, like the casting. Interested to see how they explain the changes in back story. We've already seen it changed a few times by angel mind wipes so wondering if that's what they're going to lean into again. Either way, hopefully they've some fun 'supernatural' stories to tell along the way. My main thing will be that it's written well and the dialog doesn't fall into the traps a lot of CW shows dialog does.
