Jared Padalecki was passed over for The Winchesters
Although fans and those responsible fought to save the series with the SaveTheWinchesters campaign, no other broadcaster or streamer took on the prequel. One of the reasons for this was the industry strikes. However, The Winchesters was not under a good star right from the start, as FILMSTARTS writes. Unlike his TV brother, Sam actor Jared Padalecki was not part of The Winchester, and that was probably not a voluntary decision.

2021 he made his displeasure public on Twitter when he learned that there was to be a prequel and that he had not been informed in advance, but had found out about it himself via the platform like the fans. “I’m looking forward to watching it, but disappointed that Sam Winchester isn’t involved at all,” Padalecki said. After a few more posts, however, he announced that he had spoken to Ackles and made up.
