Apart from The CW's news that 'Flash' will soon spin off of 'Arrow,' we're still reeling from the announcement that 'Supernatural' will follow the same treatment for its ninth season. More and more details have begun to emerge from the as-yet-untitled spinoff, which will weave a backdoor pilot into 'Supernatural' season 9 and center in Chicago with a new cast of characters, but what chances do fan

'Supernatural' fans well know that the long-running CW series focuses as much on the angels, demons and monsters as the relationship between Sam and Dean Winchester, and season 9 will be no different. Despite the apparent peace between the brothers forged in season 8 finale "Sacrifice," it seems another major rift between Sam and Dean is set to blow the ninth year wide open!

Where once it had seemed like 'Supernatural' creator Eric Kripke's vision of a five-season arc for Sam and Dean might have been the end, here we are years later facing down the barrel of even more Winchester.  But how likely is the series to come back for yet another season?
