In an interview with TVLine, the cast of the planned Supernatural spin-off Wayward Sisters spoke about the upcoming backdoor pilot that will air on Thursday. Here are highlights:
Briana Buckmaster on a female-centric show: “Now is the time that television and movies are discovering that a lot of women want to have their stories told by women, [and] they want to have their voices heard. This is an opportunity that Supernatural and The CW is giving to all of us as a viewership and a fandom.”
Katherine Ramdeen on the powerful female characters: “Starting off 2018 with this powerful show, with six powerful, strong, female leads, is exactly what the world needs right now. I think people are going to love it.”
Buckmaster on the characters not just helping Sam and Dean: “The women in the pilot are not there to solely serve the Winchesters, or to serve any men. They’re there to help others and save themselves. That’s an exciting opportunity for viewers to see six regular women from all walks of life learning to save themselves and be their own heroes.”
The episode sees Sheriff Jody Mills (Kim Rhodes), Sheriff Donna Hanscum (Buckmaster), Jody’s surrogate daughter Alex (Ramdeen), hunter Claire Novak (Kathryn Newton), psychic Patience (Clark Backo) and dreamwalker Kaia (Yadira Guevara-Pip) teaming up for a rescue mission when Sam and Dean go missing.
