Actor Drake Rodger will star in the new series “The Winchesters” on The CW.
Rodger plays John Winchester with Meg Donnelly (“High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”) as Mary, as well as Nida Khurshid as Latika, and Jojo Fleites as Carlos. It will premiere on Tuesday, October 11 on The CW.
The synopsis is as follows: Before Sam and Dean, there were their parents, John and Mary. Told from the perspective of narrator Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles), “The Winchesters” is the epic, untold love story of how John Winchester (Drake Rodger) met Mary Campbell (Meg Donnelly) and put it all on the line to not only save their love but the entire world.
When John returns home from fighting in Vietnam, a mysterious encounter sparks a new mission to trace his father’s past. In his journey, he crosses paths with 19-year-old demon hunter Mary, who is also searching for answers after the disappearance of her own father.
Together, the two join forces with young hunter-in-training Latika (Nida Khurshid) and easygoing hunter Carlos (Jonathan “Jojo” Fleites) to uncover the hidden truths about both their families.
Glen Winter directed the episode, which was also written by Robbie Thompson.
