Jensen and Danneel Ackles have formed a new production company, Chaos Machine Productions, and signed an exclusive, multi-year overall deal with Warner Bros. Television Group.
According to Variety, Chaos Machine Productions will develop original programs for both television networks and streaming services. Additionally, the Ackleses have appointed former DC Entertainment television executive Renee Reiff as Chaos Machine's Head of Development.
Of course, both Jensen and Danneel Ackles know a thing or two about working with Warner Bros. Television. Jensen Ackles is perhaps best known for his role as Dean Winchester on The WB/The CW's long-running series Supernatural, which is currently in the midst of its 15th and final season. Meanwhile Danneel Ackles, Jensen's wife, is known for The CW/The WB's One Tree Hill, on which she (as Danneel Harris) played Rachel Gatina. Danneel has also appeared in recent seasons of Supernatural as Anael, an angel possessing Sister Jo.
"Warner Bros. has been my home for the better part of two decades," Jensen said in a statement. "The relationships I have acquired there are some of the finest and most supportive I could have hoped for in this industry. Danneel and I are thrilled for the opportunity to continue to grow as artists and now as a producers under the mentorship and guidance of Peter Roth and the whole WBTV team."
Starring Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins and Alexander Calvert, the final seven episodes of Supernatural return starting Oct. 8 on The CW.
