In fact, much about this set-up for a new Supernatural-related program has the echoes of those Whedon-helmed series, including the idea of an ensemble made up of mundane and fantastical characters whose very natures were often at odds with one another. Speaking of Buffy, isn’t it time for a headlining female presence in the Supernatural universe? On the prospect of one of those main characters being female, Pedowitz was more non-commital, offering “Hopefully, depends on how they craft the show.” Still, one can’t imagine, given how important female characters have been on Supernatural, that they won’t have a strong presence in the new one, particularly since there are several great existing examples to choose from, including the tenacious Sherrif Jody Mills (Kim Rhodes) and wacky hacker-chick Charlie (Whedon alum Felicia Day). Both characters have had extremely recent appearances on the show, as well as a solid history in the mythology. What about Supernatural itself? How much longer can it continue? It’s already heading into it’s ninth season, having eclipsed Buffy by a full season and gaining on the X-Files, which may hold the record as longest running paranormal tv series of that nature. Pedowitz says he could easily see the show running for a tenth season and possibly more and that there is no shortage of material. “From what I’ve read, Jeremy Carver is writing arcs that could go longer. As long as fans are there and ratings are there, there’s no reason it couldn’t continue … If they can still tell great stories and Jared and Jensen still want to do it, why wouldn’t you continue?” ‘Supernatural’ to continue for as long as they can continue, as long as they have great stories to tell.” What do you think? Does a Supernatural spinoff hold any interest? What characters from the current series would you want to see here in a larger capacity? You know, that sounds like a great idea for a top ten…
