'The Winchesters' and 'Kung Fu' have been cancelled at The CW.
Following its debut near the end of last year, The CW's Supernatural prequel series The Winchesters has officially been cancelled after one season. The news follows not long after the show's executive producers, Jensen and Danneel Ackles, moved their first look deal from Warner Bros. Television over to Amazon.
Set in the 1970s, The Winchesters revisited the love story between Mary Campbell and John Winchester , who are later married and the parents of Dean and Sam in Supernatural. In the prequel, Mary is a hunter of things that go bump in the night, on the search for her father, Samuel . Meanwhile, John has just returned from Vietnam and is also seeking answers about his own father, Henry . After a chance encounter, John and Mary eventually join forces, alongside their friends Carlos and Latika .
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Though The Winchesters took care to pave its own path in Supernatural canon, it also maintained its connections to the original series thanks largely in part to several familiar guest stars along the way. The most notable was Ackles himself reprising his role. Early in the season, viewers learned that Dean was sharing the story of John and Mary. However, he wouldn't appear again until a much larger reveal at the end of the season.
Kung Fu ran for a total of three seasons before the cancellation. The reboot series helmed by Supernatural alum Robbie Thompson follows Nicky Shen , a Chinese American woman who drops out of college and heads on a new journey. So, she heads to a monastery in China. When she returns home to the states, she discovers her home is running rampant with crime and corruption, and her family is at risk.
About the cancellations, The CW said: "As we re-imagine the new CW, we had to make some tough programming decisions. We thank our partners at Warner Bros. and the casts and creative teams of ‘Kung Fu’ and ‘The Winchesters’ for all their hard work, creativity and dedication."
