The Archived is an American drama series created by the CW based on the novel series of the same name, The Archived. The series is being written for the CW by Liz Sczudlo and produced by Jennie Snyder Urman — both who come from the crew of CW series Jane the Virgin. Many have expressed the opinion that the series is to replace long term CW series Supernatural.
Synopsis[]
The eldest child in a family of ghost hunters, Bex has trained her entire life for the day she’ll take up the mantle of “the chosen one.” But when her dad dies and her local-weather-girl sister wakes up with the familial powers instead, these night-and-day sisters will have to figure out how to work together and save the world[1].
Development[]
- "Also yeah, it’s being positioned to potentially take over from Supernatural so hahahahaha no pressure there."

Following the announcement of the final series of Supernatural, the CW began searching for — what looks to be — the series' paranormal replacement. The series will be developed by the CW, with CBS studios producing. The series will draw from its novel counterpart The Archived, and its two sequels, The Unbound and Leave the Window Open.
