On the day, it was going to rain. Jensen drives up, and honest to goodness, a rainbow comes out. I have a picture of the rainbow hitting him on his head. It was like, come on, really? But it was amazing,” he enthused. “Everybody on the crew was very quietly taking out their phones and taking pictures, because it was Dean! It was crazy."

During the interview, Ackles revealed what the character meant to him.

"There were a few things from the wardrobe department that went missing when [Supernatural] came to an end. I didn't know why," Ackles said slyly. "But they somehow managed to turn up when I was required to show back up on camera."

Ackles will be the narrator for the new series overall. “This character is a part of me and will be with me forever. He's kind of ingrained in me, so to get to slip back into that character is always fun."
