Supernaturalhas some of the best world-building in the urban fantasy genre, with fans enjoying its rich lore for over fifteen seasons. While a part of the show’s appeal comes from the bond between the main characters, it also successfully expanded beyond the original premise to introduce other characters and plot points that could support a spin-off series.
During its run,Supernaturalmade several attempts to launch a spin-off with varying results until Jensen Ackles launchedThe Winchesters. However, with the spin-off canceled after just one season, it might be time for his co-star Jared Padalecki to try his hand at a spin-off and the actor needs to revive this canceled spin-off that never really took off.
Supernaturalseason 9 set up theBloodlinesspin-off that was later canceled
Supernaturalran successfully for fifteen seasons, slowly building a complex mythology of its own that encompasses a vast variety of monsters and paranormal beings. It brought an interesting spin to its monster-hunting premise in the season 9 episode, titledBloodlines.
The episode was meant to serve as a backdoor pilot for a spin-off seriesSupernatural: Bloodlines. It introduced viewers to an amateur hunter Ennis Ross, played by Lucien Laviscount, who encounters Sam and Dean Winchester during their trip to Chicago.
The proposed series was expected to center on mafia-esque monster families who control the city’s dark underbelly. The episode set up two of the monster mafia families with Ennis’ quest to exact revenge for his girlfriend’s death bringing him into the fold. However, the episode becameone of the lowest-rated in the show’s historyand the spin-off never took off.

Nonetheless, the episode did lay some solid groundwork and had a premise interesting enough to expand upon the show’s basic premise. As a result, despite its failure at the time,Bloodlinesis a fairly interesting take on the show’s universe that should be revisited now that the parent series has finally run its course.
Jared Padalecki should reviveSupernatural: BloodlinesafterThe Winchesters
FollowingBloodlines, the series attempted to launch other spin-offs. Another backdoor pilot,Wayward Sisters, aired during the show’s thirteenth season. However, this spin-off also did not make it beyond the pilot stage. However,Jensen Ackleseventually executive-produced the spin-off seriesThe Winchesters.
The series lasted only one season andJared Padaleckihadno involvement in the short-lived project. As a result, Padalecki must try his hand at launching a spin-off series, especially since the actor has been very vocal about revisiting the show’s world. Moreover, the canceledBloodlinesspin-off could be revitalized with Padalecki reprising his role from the parent series.

Padalecki’s Sam Winchester is still alive in the main timeline and his monster-hunting escapades with Dean started after his girlfriend’s death.Bloodlinesprotagonist Ennis Ross, a police academy trainee, also has a similar backstory. As a result, Sam could become a very good mentor for the inexperienced Ross. Thus, the canceled spin-off could find a new lease on life and continue the show’s legacy.
