"The Originals" Season 5/Final Season thread

Vampire Diaries’ spinoff The Originals to end its run after season 5...
Today’s episode is presented by T-Mobile - America’s Best Unlimited Network.
Say it isn’t so! The Vampire Diaries just finished its run on the CW, and now we’re losing The Originals, too…

The show’s Showrunner Julie Plec made the announcement that The Originals will be ending after season 5 on Twitter, just ahead of the series’ Comic-con panel later this week.

Her tweet announcement read in part QUOTE, “It’s both a gift and a burden to be able to control the ending of a series. Many shows are not lucky enough to have a hand in deciding when the end has come. Ending a show is always bittersweet, but for me, it’s a true blessing to be a part of making that choice.”

The emotional announcement comes exactly one year after Julie made the announcement about The Vampire Diaries coming to an end.

While Julie may be ready to put the show to bed, fans replied to her tweet to share their disappointment with the news. One fan tweeted QUOTE, “NO NO NO !! WE DESERVE 8 SEASONS”, while another wrote QUOTE, “Wow I kinda figured it would be ending soon but I can't believe it's official now. I think it's time to end but I'm also so sad about this.”

Meanwhile Klaroline shippers were more concerned about the fate of Klaus and Caroline’s love story, now that it was just announced that Candice King will be reprising her role as Caroline in The Original’s season 5 premiere.

Figured as much. CW is good with letting showrunners get that last season in.

End of an era with the vampire run on CW.

Damn.

these 5 seasons were better than Angel's 5 seson, I guess that is all that matters. Let's see what they can do with a possible adult hope spinoff.

Yeah but Angels highs were better than the originals highs. Though the Originals was way more consistent all the way through. Guess it's the end of an era

 

[MikelArteta]

only after 5 ?

As much sense as it makes to end it, this seems like the end of the mid to late 2010’s vampire/werewolf craze. I know CW has another supernatural type show in the wings. And speaking of that how in the hell is that show (supernatural)still going they on like season 45 and shyt. And I’ve only seen one maybe two episodes is it that good?

Supernatural is on season 13 and got renewed for 14 recently.

It fell off after seasons 1-5 but recent seasons like 11, 12 and currently 13 have been really good.

Supernatural is lucky because it's probably one of the cheapest shows on CW. Doesn't have many special effects and a very small cast so they don't have to pay a lot of people.

Very strong fanbase with consistent ratings. It's been on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and still gets good ratings.

The president of the CW even said straight up that as long as the two main characters want to do it, it will keep going.

What's crazy about it is that Supernatural was supposed to end after season 5 but the ratings were good so it got renewed. Original creator even left and the show kept it moving.

Season 2 is Friday night lights skippable, I don't like Freya's debut, glad they changed the way she acted the next season...

As far as looking back, I never watched reruns of buffy or lost, or justified (except the decoy episode which is the greatest episode of anything ever) I won't be watching reruns of this either
