TVLine is reporting that The Winchesters is staging a reunion of sorts with its latest bit of casting news: Tom Welling is joining the Supernatural spinoff, it was announced during a panel at New York Comic Con on Sunday.
Welling will recur as family patriarch Samuel Campbell (originally played by Mitch Pileggi in Supernatural), Mary Campbell’s father, and Dean and Sam’s maternal grandfather. Welling, of course, starred as Clark Kent in The WB/CW’s Smallville, a series in which The Winchesters executive producer/Supernatural co-lead Jensen Ackles starred for 22 episodes.
During a recent virtual press panel for the offshoot, writer/showrunner Robbie Thompson hinted that Supernatural fans could also expect to see “some very familiar faces…in an episode we’re going to shoot in a couple of days.”
