[Fox News, 8/15/2019] Question : Are there going to be any spinoff series from "Super- natural"? —Gloria Matt Roush : The CW tried to develop at least two Supernatu- ral spinoffs with episodes in- tended as "backdoor pilots," the most recent being "Wayward Sisters" in January 2018. At this summer's television critics press tour, The CW President Mark Pedowitz acknowledged that these attempts "did not connect."
