The Winchesters: Gil McKinney Reprising Supernatural Role for Spinoff

Published Thu, 13 Oct 2022 16:58:11 -0500

Supernatural fans knew going into Robbie Thompson, Jensen Ackles & Danneel Ackles' The Winchesters that they could expect to see some SPN familiar faces showing up during its run. Now (thanks to TVLine), we can pass along that Gil McKinney will be returning as Henry Winchester in the seventh episode of the spinoff prequel series. First appearing in a very timey-wimey eighth season episode of the long-running The CW series, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean's (Jensen Ackles) paternal grandfather is described as "the intellectual patriarch of the Winchester clan." The character description continues: "Having come from a long line of Men of Letters, Henry fully dedicated his life to the institution. However, when a Men of Letters' mission leads to Henry's untimely death, his absence and the secrecy surrounding his life inside the organization creates an unrepairable rift in his family."

And for a reminder that this is no "Normal Love" story, here's a look at the most recently-released teaser for The CW's The Winchesters:
