It has been a decade since Supernatural first premiered, yet the buzz remains. At the centre of the series are the Winchester brothers, Sam and Dean, who, after a few mysterious events in their life sets on a mission to hunt down supernatural beings such as demons and monsters.

Behind this successful show is Eric Kripke, the creator and co-showrunner. Did you know that Kripke spent a decade pitching this plot before it was picked by The WB? Turns out, Supernatural is America's longest running live action fantasy series.

Apart from the plot, what makes the series super engaging is the cast. Whenever you hear Supernatural, it is always Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki that come to mind first. Even after five years of the finale, the Winchester brothers' edits pop out on social media now and then.

Supernatural Season 1, Episode 2, titled 'Wendigo,' follows the Winchester brothers as they travel to Blackwater Ridge in Lost Creek, Colorado, to find their missing father. Here's a list of who plays whom in Supernatural Season 1 Episode 2 (spoiler-free)


Supernatural Season 1 Episode 2 cast

Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester

Padalecki plays the 26-year-old Sam Winchester in Season 1, Episode 2. In the pilot episode, we learn that Sam didn't have good relations with his family, and he left home to pursue higher studies at Stanford University. As a result, his relationship with his brother Dean also suffered.

However, things took an ugly turn for Sam. Sam's girlfriend Jess was killed the same way his mother was killed two decades ago. With their father still missing, the Winchester brothers set out on a mission to find their father. They followed his message of coordinates, which directed them to a place in Colorado.


Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester

Ackles plays Dean Winchester in Season 1, Episode 2 'Wendigo.' Even though Sam did not keep any relation with his family, Dean stayed with his father, John (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). John trained Dean, who was too naive to understand that he was marked.

So before John went missing, he left some coordinates for Dean to figure out. So the Winchester brothers waste no time and get on the Impala and drive to Colorado. Dean seems pretty rigid in his emotions.


Gina Holden as Haley Collins

Gina Holden plays Haley Collins, and she is one of the important guest characters. She's the older sister of the missing camper. She's practical and determined to find answers, and here's when the Winchester brother helps her out:
