Last May, the American Channel really announced the cancellation of The Originals (the spin-off of Vampire Diaries itself) with the biggest surprise from fans and Julie Pleck, the franchise creator and producer.

“It will eventually happen, that’s all I can tell you“, – he said.Nothing has been written yet, but we had a very interesting and fun conversation about how to move the franchise to its next stage.. ”
Julie Pleck also added that this new opus “Would be part of the franchise’s universal chronology, but in different environments and with different characters.. ” Something will delight first-hour fans who may soon find their favorite world on the small screen.

“The presence of Candice in the episode is the work of Brett Matthews (Executive producer of the series, Editor’s note)Said Julie Pleck.Candice, Brett, and I have built a great friendship over the years. We were asked 100 times to appear on the show, but as friends, we did not want to force something. So we expected the time to be perfect. ”
Julie Pleck and Brett Matthews were ordered to write Season 4 as if it were the last, even before its cancellation was announced. Thus, this allowed the duo to close the Legacies story satisfactorily, even if they wanted to offer more to the fans.
They were already thinking about season 5, which included a time jump. “It would be fun to move the characters into the real world, beyond the school walls“- said Brett Matthews.
“We could see where they would be in life, but also how they would relate to each other. This would be good for the series as it could be developed with the characters. ”
Despite this sudden cancellation, Julie Pleck still wanted to thank the CW for offering her the opportunity to develop a franchise.
“There is no doubt that we will be back when we can. While I joke about my frustration with the end of the show more than Brett, me and the whole team had in mind, we are very grateful to The CW for being the home of this franchise for the past 13 years, with incredible leadership. Mark Pedovic and his entire team. “
“We know they fought to save the show and we are really, really, very grateful for the trip with them. So while I’m disappointed, I’m very grateful to The CW and Warner Bros.“, He concluded.
