The Originals has been cancelled after five seasons, with the final episode of The CW drama airing in 2018 — but could it spawn a spinoff series?
Speaking to reporters, CW president Mark Pedowitz says he’s had “many discussions” with creator Julie Plec about a potential new TV show derived from The Vampire Diaries/Originals universe, though nothing has come of it just yet:

"Julie really wants to get the final season of #TheOriginals done [before humoring a spin-off]," says Pedowitz #TCA17

Would you watch an Originals spinoff series? Is it all spin to keep The Originals ‘relevant’ heading into its final hours? Stay tuned…
