The Originals: ‘Vampire Diaries’ spinoff pilot coming to The CW

Great news for all fans of the Original family! Insider TV reports we have something exciting to look forward to:
Huge Vampire Diaries news: The CW is officially developing a spinoff for the Thursday hit and you’re going to have a chance to see the pilot.
After years of rumors about extending the supernatural franchise, The CW has decided to launch a backdoor pilot for a spinoff within the show’s current fourth season. The story centers around the original family of vampires and stars Joseph Morgan (Klaus). In the episode, Klaus “returns to the supernatural melting pot that is the French Quarter of New Orleans — a town he helped build centuries ago — and is reunited with his diabolical former protégé Marcel. Phoebe Tonkin, who plays sexy werewolf Hayley on TVD, is also set to star. The episode airs April 25. The working title of the spinoff is The Originals.
Vampire Diaries executive producer Julie Plec will write the episode and serve as showrunner on the new project if it earns a series order.
Mark your calendars: April 25 ![]()

Just one?! Joseph Morgan is obviously amazing as Klaus, but I also really enjoy Elijah and Rebekah. The dynamic of the group of siblings as a whole is absolutely outstanding and I’m glad we’re going to get to see that explored further!
