‘Supernatural’ season 9, episode 20 preview: First video of ‘Bloodlines’ spin-off pilot!
After Tuesday night’s new episode of “Supernatural,” we had a chance to finally get a glimpse of the much-anticipated spin-off pilot entitled “Bloodlines.” There is no word yet as to whether or not this show will go through, and much of it could actually hinge on fans liking what they see when the story airs on The CW. There are some components of it that sound exciting, whether you are talking about the ensemble cast, or the supernatural / “Godfather” hybrid it could be. To us, it’ll all depend on the writing and the chemistry that the cast has with each other.
If you want to get a sense as to the general story (if you haven’t already), take a look at the official synopsis below:
“Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) investigate a case in Chicago, where they discover that various mafia-esque monster families are, unknown to humans, running the underbelly of Chicago. One is a family of shapeshifters run by Margo Lassiter (guest stars Danielle Savre), whose leadership is thrown into question when her brother David (guest star Nathaniel Buzolic) returns home. The other reigning family in town is made up of werewolves, lead by Julian Duval (guest star Sean Faris). While in Chicago, Sam and Dean meet Ennis (guest star Lucien Laviscount), a man with a personal vendetta against the monsters. The Winchesters warn Ennis about heading into the hunter lifestyle, but Ennis refuses to listen and starts down a dangerous path.”
The cast of the spin-off is interesting, and maybe the idea of Sam and Dean in the big city will itself be enough to make this special … but the reason that we’re anxious about this show’s fate is because of Sam and Dean. The new show won’t have them, and they are the franchise’s heart and soul.
