The CW probably isn't all that pleased with how the announcement of a Supernatural prequel series has been completely overshadowed by all the controversy surrounding it. Earlier this week, the network revealed The Winchesters, an SPN spinoff focusing on John and Mary Winchester, was in the works, with Jensen Ackles on board as both exec producer and narrator. The thing is that Ackles' long-term co-star Jared Padalecki had no idea the prequel was happening, sharing his "gutted" and "bummed" reaction to finding out this way on social media.
