'Supernatural' spinoff 'Tribes' casts Lucien Laviscount and Nathaniel Buzolic

Fans who have been following the news on the Supernatural spinoff, subtitled Tribes, likely know that two of the main characters are Ennis Roth and David Hayden. The spinoff has now found the man to play the parts.

EW.com reports that Tribes has cast British actor Lucien Laviscount (Skins, Coronation Street) as Ennis Roth and Australian actor Nathaniel Buzolic, who portrayed Klaus' brother Kol on The Vampire Diaries last season, as David Hayden.

Ennis Roth is a trainee at the police academy, but his fiancée dies during the crossfire of the ongoing monster war in Chicago (hence the subtitle, Tribes). The young man then "learns the truth about what lurks in the shadows and becomes a monster-hunter himself," according to the article.

David Hayden, on the other hand, is a shapeshifter from one of the ruling monster families in Chicago who has been masquerading as human after he gave up his monster life years ago.

According to EW, Roth and Hayden are the two leads on the show, but Tribes will function more as an ensemble drama compared to Supernatural, which focuses mainly on brothers Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki). The show has yet to cast the other main players.

EW describes Tribes as a "sweeping drama about the various mafia-esque monster families that unknowingly-to-humans 'run' the underbelly of Chicago and who are being tracked by a newly-minted Hunter who's trying to stop them and rid Chicago of anything or anyone supernatural."

The spinoff will get a backdoor pilot in the 20^th episode of Supernatural's Season 9 on April 29.
