The Unforgettable Side Characters That Deserve Their Own Spin-Offs

[Justin J]

There are so many TV shows with amazing side characters that steal the spotlight from the main cast, and honestly, I'd love to see them get their own spin-offs! For instance, how about a series focused on Michael Rosenbaum's Lex Luthor from Smallville? His character had such depth and complexity that an entire show could explore his journey further into villainy, possibly tying it into a wider DC universe.

Another character that comes to mind is the ever-eccentric Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation. Just imagine a show set in his pre-Pawnee days, showcasing his various adventures in woodworking and breakfast food.

What side characters do you think could carry a show of their own? Who would you be most excited to see take center stage? Let's brainstorm some potential shows!

I'm all in for a Lex Luthor spin-off! Michael Rosenbaum nailed that character, and there's so much to explore with the psychological and moral complexities of his journey from misunderstood to full-blown villain. It could tie into some of the newer DC shows on HBO Max, expanding that universe even more.

As for Ron Swanson, that would be hilarious! A series about his woodworking mishaps and breakfast escapades? Count me in! His character had so many layers, seeing his interactions with different folks before he ended up in Pawnee could lead to some fun dynamics and side characters we might not expect.

I'd love to see a show about Simon Pegg's characters from Spaced or even a deep get into the life of Boba Fett post-Return of the Jedi. So, any other side characters you think might deserve that spotlight?
