The Winchesters showrunner Robbie Thompson addresses the mystery of Dean Winchester's involvement in the prequel and promises that it will be resolved before season 1 wraps. Thompson doesn't reveal specifics but hints at clues that fans have already picked up on and theories about where Dean is. While Jensen Ackles, who portrays Dean and serves as an executive producer, won't be visibly seen in every episode, his narration will remain a constant throughout. Familiar fan-favorites from Supernatural are expected to make appearances, and there's potential for The Winchesters to reframe Dean's divisive finale death in a new way.
