Per Variety, "The Winchesters" not only has Jensen Ackles involved by reprising his role as Dean, but it's also executive produced by Chaos Machine Productions, a company Ackles owns with his wife, Danneel Ackles. The announcement came as a shock to many, but especially his former "Supernatural" co-star Jared Padalecki. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Padalecki noted on Twitter no one had initially told him about the spin-off or approached the actor about being involved, and he expressed his disappointment about it. Additionally, Padalecki had some choice words for "Supernatural" co-executive producer Robbie Thompson, calling him a "coward" in a deleted tweet. Thompson is listed as a writer for "The Winchesters."
Fortunately for "Supernatural" fans, it didn't seem to take long for peace to hit between the onscreen Winchester siblings. A day after his initial tweets, Padalecki announced on his Twitter that he and Ackles had a good talk and that their brotherly relationship was back on track. Ackles confirmed this with a retweet of Padalecki's statement, adding how much he missed talking to the actor. Does this mean Padalecki will find some time off as a Texas ranger in "Walker" to become involved in "The Winchesters?" We don't know. But at least there's brotherly harmony between him and Ackles again.
