CW Passes on Wayward Sisters Spin-off

The CW has opted not to order Supernatural spin-off Wayward Sisters to series. The show, which had a backdoor pilot in January, would have starred Jody Mills, Donna Hanscum, Claire Novak, and others. This is the second failed spin-off of Supernatural in the past four years.

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.
