The Originals (2013 – 2018)

The Originals is a supernatural fantasy drama television series that premiered on The CW on October 3, 2013. It is a spin-off of The Vampire Diaries and the franchise's first television series extension based on its parent series. The series follows Klaus Mikaelson, a vampire-werewolf hybrid, and his family as they become engaged in the supernatural politics of New Orleans' French Quarter.

'The Originals' is a spin-off of the popular "The Vampire Diaries," in which "the Original" vampire family returns to New Orleans to confront a threat that their oldest brother Klaus has encountered. The Mikelson siblings are the focus of the series. Klaus discovers that Hayley, a werewolf, is pregnant with his kid, a miraculous magical child. To secure the baby's safety, the siblings must combat all bad powers such as witches, werewolves, and other vampires that wish to kill the infant. This spin-off is at times better than the original program, and it also boasts a fantastic cast and setting. Unlike "The Vampire Diaries," this program is not about coming of age and delves further into the characters and narrative, making it darker than the original series. If you like 'The Vampire Diaries,' you'll enjoy this one much more, and you'll be surprised because it's absolutely great.
