Supernatural still working on a spinoff
TVLine reports that the CW is still hoping for a spinoff from Supernatural.
If The CW takes another stab at a Supernatural spin-off, the new characters may appear in more than one episode of the long-running drama.
The rest of the article is here.
So if we notice characters coming back for several episodes, we may be seeing the beginnings of the new spinoff. I’m still rooting for Supernatural Sheriffs with Jody and Donna, but realistically the CW is unlikely to commission a show where the leads are middle aged women. Still, I can dream. Which established characters do you think could carry a spinoff? What type of new characters would you introduce for a new show? Give us your thoughts.

I’d also love a spin off about two middle aged women! I am one myself and would really love a show that I could relate to in that way. I am afraid that something like that is out of the CW’s league. It seems that the one and only time that this network took any kind of risk was when they picked up Supernatural and now they are too chicken to do it again.
To be fair, it was the old WB that took the chance and the WB had a more diverse set of shows at the time. It wasn’t that much of a risk. Jared was a known quantity, they wanted him to head a series. We almost had him as Young McGiver instead of Sam. Jensen was known from Smallville. Angel and Buffy were hits involving the supernatural, so they knew that was a market that worked. I miss the WB. Most of the long term hits on the CW come from the WB, so that tells you something.
I think the spinoff dude is Cole. They (writers) gave him the usual set up to become a hunter- his Father was killed. Then the writers sent him directly to the library. There he is freshly beaten by a demon, by DD no less, bleeding, barely able to stand, and he went directly to a public library! Did ” I obsessively trained to kill Dean Winchester all my life guy” look like the book type? He is military trained so no one is going to balk at his inexperience killing. Cole will have plenty of screen time with Sam and Dean…. will came back to kill Dean, discover he is cured, find out Dean did not kill his Dad… learn all about the supernatural world and become friends with the brothers and then take it from there…… spinoff.
