==Wayward History==
The [[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.
At the end of [[9.19 Alex Annie Alexis Ann]], [[Sheriff Jody Mills]] took [[Alex Jones]], a young woman who had been held captive by a nest of [[vampires]], home to live her. Later, in [[10.20 Angel Heart]], [[Claire Novak]] is reunited with her mother [[Amelia Novak]] only to then tragically lose her. Sam, Dean and [[Castiel]], also send her to Jody Mills while she heals. As she leaves she says "This is some sort of halfway house for wayward girls?", and the idea was born among the fandom to have [[Sheriff Donna Hanscum]] and Jody running a home for young women as a spin-off.
Two fans, Riley Keshner and Betty Days, set up a Twitter and Tumblr account to promote the idea with a letter writing campaign and petition. It captured the imagination of fans and actors including [[Kim Rhodes]] and [[Briana Buckmaster]]. Precedently, [https://twitter.com/zoewillowsmama/status/593604816791670786 one fan speculated] on "#Jody&DonnasHomeForWaywardGirls with @robertberens as head writer."
[http://www.hypable.com/supernatural-claire-novak-wayward-daughters-spinoff/ Riley Krushner said]:
<blockquote>
“I knew we had the numbers and so I put out a call to action through the fandom, and Betty and I created the social media accounts and a petition so that we could funnel everyone’s enthusiasm through a central outlet. We called it ‘Wayward Daughters Academy.’ That was May 1, 2015, the day after "Angel Heart" aired. That day, Kim and Briana both followed us and we discussed with them that we appreciated their support but wouldn’t do anything without their consent. They were both on board, and the rest is history.”
</blockquote>
The idea of Wayward Daughters expanded to support promoting positive female representation in ''Supernatural'' and other media, and also the idea of fans supporting each other. In December 2015, Kim and Briana ran a campaign through [[Creation Stands]], selling "Wayward Daughters" t-shirts with proceeds going to [[Random Acts]]. As part of the campaign fans posted what the campaign meant to them under the tag #istandwityhwaywarddaughters. As a gift to the fandom, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybcPhVe55jw Briana posted a video of her lipsyncing to Beyonce]. As the campaign broadened, it took on the tagline #WaywardAF and variations like #WaywardStrong and has led to a number of charity [[T-shirt Campaigns]].
[[11.12 Don't You Forget About Me]] gave fans a look at the life Jody Mills, Alex and Claire were building together, and furthered spurred the enthusiasm for a series focusing on these characters.
[[12.16 Ladies Drink Free]] focused on Claire who was out hunting on her own, and teams up with the Winchesters to track down a [[werewolf]]. In the preview for the episode by showrunners [[Andrew Dabb]] and [[Bob Singer]], Dabb described Claire as “a fan favorite character, someone we really like” and Singer stated that the episode “very subtly tees up something that we’re gonna revisit next year.”
Jody and Alex reappeared in the episode [[12.22 Who We Are]] -- and survived the season.
==Pilot==
On June 20th 2017, [http://deadline.com/2017/06/supernatural-spinoff-wayward-sisters-kim-rhodes-the-cw-backdoor-pilot-season-13-1202116253/ it was announced] that season 13 would feature a backdoor pilot for "Wayward Sisters", a spin-off series that would tell the story of "Sheriff Jody Mills and a group of troubled young women, all of them orphaned by supernatural tragedy. Under Mills’ training and protection, the women will emerge as a supreme monster-fighting force."
At the time of the announcement only [[Kim Rhodes]] had been confirmed for the episode. The pilot is written by Robert Berens and Andrew Dabb. The spin-off is executive produced by Andrew Dabb, Robert Singer, [[Phil Sgriccia]] and Robert Berens.
[http://tvline.com/2017/08/04/supernatural-spinoff-spoilers-wayward-sisters-season-13-episode-10/ In an interview with TVLine], Andrew Dabb said "Wayward Sisters still “very much [has] the same sensibilities, the same driving forces [and] the same core themes, which are family...<br><br>
As for why now is the right time to try to once again expand the Supernatural universe, Dabb noted that this particular idea was “something we have been talking about, internally, really since we introduced Claire Novak to the show [in Season 10].” And with Alex living under Jody’s roof, the producers thought, “‘Oh, this might be a real opportunity to make this happen.'”
<br><br>
“That was something that simmered for us, and fans really latched onto it in a way we could have never expected, in a really awesome way,” Dabb continued. But the creatives had to wait for the show’s storylines to align. “Last season, because of the British Men of Letters and Mom, it didn’t feel right. This season, it feels right. And the way it’s going, as you’ll see as you watch the show, it evolves very organically out of the first half of the season… because we have such a high amount of lead time.”

:"Having lost her family at a young age. By the time she reached adulthood, she was on her own, completely disconnected from her roots, as she tried to understand a burgeoning gift: In her dreams, Kaia walks between worlds — a rare and terrifying power she experiences only as a curse… a power she doesn’t understand and can’t yet control. Flinty, sarcastic, and profoundly haunted, Kaia is nevertheless strong and willful as hell — she’s had to be to survive this long on her own."
