Supernatural: Bloodlines

Supernatural: Tribes is the upcoming Supernatural spin-off series. The backdoor pilot -- which will air as the twentieth episode of Season 9 -- will explore the different hunter and monster cultures in Chicago, and how the two come into conflict with each other.

The show's title was revealed on January 29, 2014.

Andrew Dabb will pen the show, while Robert Singer will direct the series. Both will also co-executive produce the series, along with McG and Carver. Eric Kripke is set to return to co-executive produce as well.

Premise

 * "It’s an entirely different cast of characters. And unlike Supernatural – which is a road show — this will take place in one place (Chicago) with a wider cast of characters. (It will) explore the clashing monster and human characters living in the city...We’ll have main characters who are both human and monsters. That will include, families of monsters and families of hunters. It’s much more of an ensemble than Supernatural. - Robert Singer
