The CW has canceled The Winchesters after just one season. As this move shocks many, with the executive producer and star Jensen Ackles himself still giving his best effort to save the show, will The Winchesters Season 2 still happen?
The Supernatural spinoff follows the lives of Sam and Dean’s parents as young adults. With the main show’s popularity, running for 15 seasons with 327 episodes, is there still hope for The Winchesters Season 2?
The Winchesters’ Cancellation
Despite The Winchesters’ fame, Screen Rant noted that the spinoff didn’t live up to the viewers’ expectations and received mixed reviews.
Two of the deciding factors in a show’s cancellation are its viewership numbers and cost.
It has been known that The CW is now focusing on unscripted and low-cost scripted programming, like international acquisitions and co-productions, to be more cost-effective.
In addition, the merger of Warner Bros. Discovery is also a big factor in the major shakeup happening throughout the company, significantly affecting the future of the network’s shows.
Sadly, the cancellation spree is seemingly turning into a trend.
Though the network doesn’t properly explain why The Winchesters Season 2 is canceled, the massive backlash may result in the making of the new season.
Can The Winchesters Season 2 Still Happen?
Despite the cancellation, there are still some ways that The Winchesters Season 2 can happen.
Ackles has already launched the hashtag #SaveTheWinchesters on Twitter and other social media platforms to gain more attention.
If public outrage becomes a big trend, The CW may pick up the show again, if not other large TV networks, considering it has a loyal fanbase.

A major streaming platform can also continue the series.
Additionally, Ackles’ star power alone can help him attract other networks and streaming sites to make The Winchesters Season 2.
