I think we have been talking about internally since we introduced Claire Novak to the show.
Which I believe was Season 9, and the idea that Jody had already taken in Alex Jones, that ‘Well this might be a real opportunity to make this happen.’
This season it feels right and the way it’s going, as you’ll see it as you watch the show in the first half of the season, it evolves very organically out of the first half of the season in a way that we were able to do because we have such a high amount of lead time.
And it feels like, unlike the first spinoff we did, which was by design made not to feel like Supernatural, this is meant to feel like Supernatural, but a different side of stories in that world but very much the same sensibilities, the same driving forces, the same core themes, which are family.
