In addition to the renewal of it’s five most popular series, it seems like the CW will be trying it’s hand at another spin off, clearly hoping for similar success to that of “The Vampire Diaries” and “The Originals” On Jan. 29, it was announced that “Supernatural” would be receiving it’s own spin off series and will be titled “Supernatural: Tribes” According to TV Guide, the brand new series will feature an ensemble cast of both human and monster leads, however the series will not feature any of it’s predecessors main cast, which could be good in order to separate themselves from the show, or could be it’s downfall because fans will have less of an incentive to watch both. In addition to the growing number of mystical and supernatural series for the CW “Reign” will enter it’s sophomore season, bringing the network a bit of historical flare which has increasingly grown in popularity since the success of HBO’s now infamous “Game of Thrones” adaptation.

“Reign” performed well in its inaugural season, as did “The Originals” garnering over 1.98 million and 2.23 million views respectively. The decision to create a “Supernatural” spin off series most likely came after the series celebrated a never before seen growth, jumping 88 percent in total viewers to 3.2 million viewers in its ninth season. Surprisingly “Arrow” caught the top CW spot following the fall TV season, becoming the network's most-watched series, averaging 3.9 million viewers.
