The series formerly known as Supernatural: Tribes has not only changed its name, but also finished casting its series regular roles.
The spin-off of the nine year veteran drama has been re-titled Supernatural: Bloodlines, according to TVLine.
Bloodlines has cast Melissa Roxburgh as werewolf Violent Durant, who is described as the member of another ruling family of Chicago’s monster underbelly. “However, as a werewolf, her love affair with shape-shifter David is forbidden.”
Violet’s star-crossed love interest, David, will be played by Nathaniel Buzolic (The Originals) and her brother, Julian, by Sean Faris.
Roxburgh, whose credits include small roles on Arrow and Supernatural, will be joined by Heroes alum Danielle Savre as shape-shifter Margo Hayden and Stephen Martines (Burn Notice) as Freddie Costa, a world weary cop with a secret.
Margo, David’s sister, is described as “professional, strong-willed, determined, ambitious” as well as an “ex-punk rocker gone corporate.” She is looking to become the new head of the Hayden family in the wake of tragedy.
Savre’s other television credits include Hollywood Heights and Kaya. She also appeared in 2006’s Bring It On: All or Nothing.
Freddie, meanwhile, is an old friend of Bloodlines protagonist Ennis’ (Lucien Laviscount) father with a soft spot for Ennis, but is also secretly on the payroll of one of the powerful monster families.
Martines has already appeared on The CW on The Vampire Diaries. He also had a recurring role in The Closer, among other credits.
With this news, all the series regulars for Bloodlines have now been cast. They will appear in a backdoor pilot in Supernatural season 9, episode 20, which will air on April 29. The spin-off is described as following the five ruling “mafia-esque” monster families of Chicago and a “newly-minted” hunter (Ennis) trying to rid the city of the supernatural.
