okay so. tldr for anyone who didn't know anything about the supernatural prequel. november 19th 2020, the show ends with a mediocre at best ending. dean dies young and goes to heaven where he waits for sam to die for 30 years i guess idk. it was bad. no one is happy with it. one of the people who's maybe the least happy with it is jensen ackles, who's been playing dean winchester for the past 15 years
so half a year later he buys the rights to supernatural to make his own prequel show. kind of insane, i know. what's more insane is that the premise of the prequel contradicts canon. way back in season 5-ish it was established that mary and john winchester only got together through divine intervention because sam and dean's births were pivotal in the plan to start the apocalypse. it's long and complicated and i don't really want to explain the plot of the best two seasons of this show because it would take way too long but.
what you need to know is that the premise of the prequel does not make sense within the context of canon. jensen ackles and the writers are aware that this does not make sense. supernatural is also a show that has messed with the concept of alternate universes since the 5th season
the winchesters is a show revolving around mary and john winchester, who are sam and dean's parents. it covers their first meeting in the 70s and their hunting adventures. theyre also fighting against a previously unmentioned group of monsters called the akrida. central to defeating the akrida is this man who's apparently been fighting them and knows exactly what they are and what they're after. this man is dean
dean shows up in the last episode to explain everything. apparently this is in fact post-spn finale dean who escaped from heaven after his death. he caught wind of the akrida (who are monsters created as god's failsafe in case he was defeated. god was evil in the end, just roll with it) and left to help kill them. the world of the prequel show is an alternate dimension, presumably one where mary and john winchester get to leave the hunting life and be their own people free from the tragedy that eventually befalls them in the original show. no, destiel does not happen. yeah.
