Wayward Sisters is a spinoff of Supernatural. A backdoor pilot, entitled Wayward Sisters (episode 13x10 of Supernatural) written by Robert Berens and Andrew Dabb, aired on 18 January 2018. The idea for the show was first created and campaigned for by fans, originally under the name Wayward Daughters, a reference to the unofficial theme song of Supernatural, "Carry On Wayward Son". Wayward Sisters was not ultimately picked up by the CW, much to the disappointment of some fans, who felt the show would help counteract the historic misogyny in Supernatural and its fandom.
Wayward Daughters Academy was a fan idea for a Supernatural spin-off that started in April 2015 and has grown into a much larger movement within fandom.
Canon
The seeds of a Wayward spinoff were sown by events in seasons 9 and 10 of Supernatural - namely Alex's introduction in Alex Annie Alexis Ann, Donna and Jody's meeting in Hibbings 911, and Claire's reintroduction in season 10 (and her quip in Angel Heart).[3]
So, what? This is some sort of halfway house for wayward girls?-- Claire Novak, Angel Heart [4]
The season 11 episode Don't You Forget About Me featured Alex and Claire staying with Jody and further spurred enthusiasm for an spinoff focusing on them.[5] Patience Turner and Kaia Nieves were introduced in the season 13 episodes Patience and The Bad Place.
