So here is everything you need to know about Drake Rodger and Meg Donnelly and their past roles on the big and small screens.
What is The Winchesters?

It follows Dean Winchester’s parents, John Winchester and Mary Campbell, as they hunt monsters in the 1970s and try to solve a mystery about their own family and their history with the supernatural.
What else have you seen Drake Rodger in?
Drake Rodger plays the male lead, John Winchester. Drake made his big screen debut in 2020’s Murder RX. In 2021, Rodger played the role of Conor in the horror thriller Not Alone.
Then, in 2022, Rodger portrayed Judd in The In Between, the sci-fi romance film released via Paramount Plus. The same year, he would appear in the thriller Mantra, playing the role of Nathan Kamber.
So, for many viewers, The Winchesters will be the first time they’ve seen Drake Rodger in a leading role.
Where else have you seen Meg Donnelly?
Meg Donnelly plays the female lead, Mary Campbell. She has had a very fascinating career, making her screen debut in 2013 in an episode of Celebrity Ghost Stories.
Then in 2013, she fully burst onto the scene, taking one of the lead roles in Cartoon Network’s animation/live-action hybrid show Team Toon.
