‘Supernatural’ Spinoff ‘Wayward Sisters’ Cancelled at The CW

The Wayward Sisters’ hunt is over: The CW has passed on the female-led Supernatural spinoff, TVLine has confirmed.

Introduced as a backdoor pilot, the Wayward Sisters episode of Supernatural found Sheriff Jody Mills (played by Kim Rhodes) banding together with her surrogate daughters Claire Novak (Kathryn Newton) and Alex Jones (Katherine Ramdeen), pal Sheriff Donna Hanscum (Briana Buckmaster), psychic Patience (Clark Backo) and dreamwalker Kaia (Yadira Guevara-Prip) to rescue Dean and Sam from an alternate world. During their mission, Kaia was fatally stabbed, while her doppelgänger came through the rift to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. (Read our full recap here.)

During an interview with TVLine, Supernatural showrunner and Wayward Sisters co-writer Andrew Dabb hinted that Jody’s homestead could be visited by more fan faves, should the offshoot go to series. “We want to cross-pollinate the two shows as much as we can,” Dabb said. “Sometimes that will be with higher-profile characters: Sam and Dean, Castiel. Sometimes that would be with other characters” the young hunter Krissy, safe-cracker Alice, or the brother-and-sister witches, Max and Alicia Banes.

Dabb, co-writer Robert Berens and the show’s cast reacted on social media to the news of Wayward Sisters‘ lack of a series order:

It breaks my heart to say this, but CW has chosen to pass on Wayward Sisters. We love these characters, and have spent almost two years trying to make this show a reality on the network… but there are some fights, sometimes, you can't win.

I want to thank everyone involved in this entire process, from our fantastic crew, to our amazing cast, and, most of all you. Your passion for this idea fueled us, and we wanted so much to make this happen for you. I'm so sorry we couldn't.

But know that these characters will live on. We owe them, and you, and us that.

Thank you.

1. We have lost nothing. I cannot say, “This is more than a TV show,” and then mourn a death when there’s no TV show. We are still here. All of us. We will not lose the community nor the voice we have made. This is how the heart’s yes is louder than their no. #wayward

2. Feel the feelings. But don’t add to your pain. Don’t allow anger to make you feel strong. Don’t allow self-pity to make you feel powerful. We ARE strong. We ARE powerful. This just hurts. It won’t always. At least, not like this.#wayward

We’ve still got work to do. 💪🏻
