Supernatural kicked off the new year with a new show…sort of.  If you haven’t heard by now, Supernatural has a sister show.  Wayward Sisters is about Sheriff Jody Mills (Kim Rhodes) as she trains her adopted daughters to be hunters.  Claire Novak (Kathryn Newton), Alex Jones (Katherine Ramdeen), and Sheriff Donna Hanscum (Briana Buckmaster) welcome newcomers Patience Turner (Clark Backo) and Kaia Nieves (Yadira Guevara-Prip) to the family as they attempt to save Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles).

And where are Sam and Dean? Good question. Kaia is a dreamwalker. She helped Jack (Alexander Calvert) find Mary Winchester (Samantha Smith).  Kaia attempted to transport Jack and the Winchesters to Apocalypse World. Jack made it, but Sam and Dean went to the Bad Place.

Thoughts

Very strong showing for Wayward Sisters! I’ve always liked the idea that there were other hunters in the world, but we didn’t really know what their experiences are until now.  Jody is such a staple on Supernatural.  It’s only fitting that she should get her own show.  Especially since she took in Alex, one time Vampire captive, and Claire, daughter of Jim Novak and former werewolf captive.  *Side note* for those of you who don’t know, Jim Novak is the name of the man whose body Castiel took over when he came to earth.  So in a way, Claire is Castiel’s daughter.  Cool huh!

I really liked the idea that they brought in Patience. She will give them some leverage in the same manner that Castiel provides from time to time.  I was a little disappointed when Kaia died, but knowing she is now the bad gal, makes the story more interesting. Excellent Twist! And the addition of Donna will make the group of gals so much fun to watch.  This cast has it all! I’m excited for Wayward Sisters to begin it’s first season.
