Fan Casting Distaff Counterpart(Female Counterpart, Genderbend, Male Counterpart)

Description of Distaff Counterpart (Female Counterpart, Genderbend, Male Counterpart):

One common method used in creating a Spin-Off is taking the main character of the show, creating an equivalent that's mostly the same except for being the opposite sex, and then packing the new character off to her own series. This allows the station or network to fill up extra space on the schedule with a known quantity, while (in theory) stretching its demographic to female viewers. This method is very popular among action-adventure series, which mostly appeal to young males.
