The Originals

In this compelling spin-off from 'The Vampire Diaries,' 'The Originals' delves into the complex world of the Mikaelson siblings – Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah – who are known as the original vampires. Set in New Orleans, the series centers around Klaus's quest to regain control of his city from his protégé Marcel, who has ruled it for years. The conflict arises because Klaus had left the city during its construction, chased by their vengeful father Mikael. Now that he is back, his inflated ego drives him to claim his rightful position as king. A fascinating plot twist occurs when Klaus accepts an unborn child as his heir – a hybrid-werewolf offspring, marking the first of its kind in this supernatural world. As the story unfolds, the themes of power, legacy, and family dynamics come to the foreground in the backdrop of New Orleans' rich history and culture.
