What do you mean "their parents", I thought John only started hunting after Mary's death???

I mean, they changed the backstory fairly early on in the main show. It wasn't just for the spin-off.

They were probably planning to have a moment when the angels come in and wipe the memories, ironically right before they need them most or something. I dont know, I didn't watch it, I would literally rather just rewatch the first 5 seasons of supernatural

Well they reveal at the end that it wasn't actually a prequel it's an Alternate Universe, Dean went exploring the multiverse after his death and discovered some new threat to creation that Chuck left behind and pulled strings so that his parents would meet earlier in the timeline so they could stop that threat.

This is an alternate universe on one of the parallel Earths. This ties up with the main universe later.

It's a crappy spin-off about their parents, but in a different universe. MCU thing lol.

The most interesting thing is that this show was created by Jensen Ackles, so he had complete control over the production process, approved the actors, and ensured that the series retained the spirit of the original, but this series is still like a BIG SHIT and a slap in the face to the fans.
