Last night, Supernatural fans were torn. While most were excited to hear that a prequel was being planned, with Jensen Ackles returning as Dean Winchester to narrate, many were apprehensive when they learned that Ackles’s long-time co-star Jared Padalecki was feeling “gutted” that he had to learn about the project on Twitter, having never been approached by Ackles, Warner Bros. Television, or The CW. Padalecki, who currently stars in and produces Walker for The CW, tweeted that he was happy for Ackles, but wished he would have been consulted at some point. Fans of the long-running show were surprised that Padalecki would air that frustration publicly, but more surprised that Ackles and the network had somehow failed to get in touch with the actor.
@JensenAckles and I had a great talk, as we do often, and things are good. The show is early in the process with miles to go. We’ve travelled a lot of roads together, and sometimes those damn roads have bumps. Bumps don’t stop us. Once brothers, always brothers. #spnfamily
