The Winchesters is one of the new shows due to launch on The CW in October 2022. The thrilling spin-off prequel to the long-running hit series Supernatural is scheduled to premiere on Tuesday, October 11.

The show will depict how John Winchester met the 19-year-old demon hunter Mary Campbell and how they risked everything to save not only the entire world but also their epic love story. The series will be narrated from the perspective of Jensen Ackles' character Dean Winchester. In a conversation with Deadline, Jensen Ackles stated:

“After Supernatural wrapped its 15th season, we knew it wasn’t over. Because like we say in the show, ‘nothing ever really ends, does it?' When Danneel and I formed Chaos Machine Productions, we knew the first story we wanted to tell was the story of John and Mary Winchester, or rather the Supernatural origin story. I always felt like my character, Dean, would have wanted to know more about his parents’ relationship and how it came to be. So I love the thought of having him take us on this journey.”

The Winchesters will premiere on October 11 at 8 pm ET/PT.


2) Professionals

Created by Jeff Most and Michael Colleary, the high octane action drama Professionals is also set to premiere on The CW on October 11. The highly anticipated show revolves around a billionaire futurist Peter Swann (played by Brendan Fraser), his fiancée Dr. Graciela “Grace” Davila (played by Elena Anaya), and the security operative Vincent Corbo (played by Tom Welling).

The official synopsis reads:

“Follows Vincent Corbo, a top-tier security operative who is paid to protect the interests of rich and powerful clients by any means necessary – legal or not. After a next-gen medical-data satellite explodes on launch, Corbo is hired by the rocket’s designer, billionaire futurist Peter Swann, who suspects sabotage. Complicating Corbo’s new gig is his former paramour and now Swann’s fiancée, medical visionary Dr. Grace Davila, who is racing to help stave off a global catastrophe.”

The synopsis further adds:

“As Corbo and his team of veteran security professionals investigate the rocket disaster, they expose a lethal conspiracy of Swann’s corporate rivals, corrupt government officials, and a shadowy crime syndicate – all working to destroy Swann and take control of his tech empire. Worse, Corbo must also contend with Swann’s spoiled, troublemaking teen daughter and a rogue Europol agent who is hellbent on busting him for past sins.”

Professionals will premiere on October 11 at 9 pm ET.
