7 April 2022

Earlier this year, the teen hit ‘The Vampire Diaries’ sunk its teeth into All 4, and now, it’s spin off series The Originals has arrived on the streaming service.

Running for five seasons, the series centres on the Original vampire family and the dangerous vampire/werewolf hybrid, Klaus, who returns to the magical melting pot that is the French Quarter of New Orleans -- a town he helped build centuries ago. Acting on a mysterious tip that a plot is brewing against him, Klaus' questions lead him to a reunion with his diabolical former protégé, Marcel, a charismatic vampire who has total control over the human and supernatural inhabitants of the Crescent City.

Determined to help his brother Klaus find redemption, Elijah follows Klaus and soon learns that Hayley, a former flame of Klaus’ who is in the city investigating her family history, has fallen into the hands of a powerful witch named Sophie.. Elijah is soon forced to side with Marcel's enemies in order to keep Klaus in line and to help Hayley. Meanwhile, Klaus and Elijah's sister, Rebekah, must decide if she will leave Mystic Falls to join her brothers in New Orleans and help them to reclaim their storied hometown and all its extraordinary offerings. 

Winning over The Vampire Diaries fans and critics, the cast includes Joseph Morgan (Klaus), Daniel Gillies (Elijah) and Claire Holt (Rebekah). Joseph Morgan also won a People’s Choice Award for his performance as Klaus.

The Originals joins an abundance of teen dramas available on All 4 including The Vampire Diaries, Friday Night Lights, Party of Five and Charmed.
