"The move to Friday is not to exile, it is to strengthen Friday night" – Mark Pedowitz on #TheOriginals and #VampireDiaries shift #TCA16
— Gwen Reyes (@ReelVixen) January 10, 2016
As for the series’ moves to Fridays starting on Jan. 29, Pedowitz assured that the shows were not being sent out to pasture. “It’s a move to strengthen Friday night. We made a strategic shift on Thursday night to make it male-skewed, going with Legends of Tomorrow and The 100,” he said. “We were happy to do that. This way, I think, coming into midseason, is the best schedule since I’ve been at The CW ever.”

I’ve enjoyed The Originals CW series more than any other show. If they have cancelled it I believe it’s a mistake. This show has been amazing. My Friday nights revolved around it. Thank you for the seasons we had.
