Jared Padalecki was passed over for The Winchesters
Although fans and those responsible with the Rescue campaign #SaveTheWinchesters
fought to preserve the series, no other broadcaster or streamer took on the prequel. The reason for this was, among other things, the industry strikes. It said The Winchesters right from the start it was not a good star, as FILMSTARTS writes. Because Sam actor Jared Padalecki, unlike his TV brother, was not part of The Winchester, and that was probably not a voluntary decision.
In 2021 he made his displeasure public on Twitter when he learned that there was to be a prequel and he was not informed in advancebut how the fans found out about it themselves via the platform. “I’m looking forward to watching it, but I’m disappointed that Sam Winchester isn’t involved at all”said Padalecki. After a few more posts, he reported that he had spoken out and reconciled with Ackles.
