Casting continues for the Supernatural spin-off, Tribes, with a Pretty Little Liars alum set to play a werewolf.
Sean Faris, who currently plays Officer Gabriel Holbrook on Pretty Little Liars, has been cast as werewolf Julian Durant in the Supernatural spin-off, reports TV Line.
Julian is the son of a wealthy werewolf family and is described as “savagely handsome, strong, arrogant.” He’s considered the arch nemesis of Tribes protagonist Ennis. His sister, Violet, is involved in a secret affair with one of the shapeshifting Hayden clan.
CW fans will recognize Faris from three episodes of The Vampire Diaries, in which he played Ben McKittrick. He also starred in Life As We Know It and Reunion.
Faris will co-star alongside Nathaniel Buzolic and Lucien Laviscount. Buzolic will play shapeshifter David Hayden, while Laviscount has been tapped to play Ennis Roth, the “likeable, strong-willed, resolute” protagonist “with a strong sense of justice.”
The son of a cop, Ennis is preparing to enter the police academy when his fiancée is killed in the crossfire of Chicago’s monster war. In his quest for the truth behind her death, Ennis meets Sam and Dean, which is how he “learns the staggering truth” that Chicago is run by five families of monsters and becomes a hunter himself.
All three actors will appear in Supernatural season 9, episode 20. The backdoor pilot for Tribes 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 trying to rid the city of the supernatural.
