Amid rumors of cancellation, the serises came out on top after it was announced that "The Originals" Season 4 is indeed happening on March 2017. Fans are rolling up their sleeves for the long wait, but thankfully, the internet is full to the brim with news and rumors about the upcoming season, which would see Klaus Mikaelson waging war against the newly instated king of New Orleans, Marcel.
It's going to be an interesting season for several fans, especially as its original series, "The Vampire Diaries," is set to wrap up soon. But what can fans expect from the spinoff series? Here's everything you need to know about "The Originals" Season 4 news, updates, spoilers, release dates, and more.
Klaus against Marcel in a battle over New Orleans
As fans would remember, Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan), the patriarch of the Mikaelson clan and former ruling party in New Orleans, was cursed by a vengeful Marcel (Charles Michael Davis). But there's still a glimmer of hope for the besieged family, as Hope (to be played by Summer Fontana) is set to reunite with her estranged family in "The Originals" Season 4.
It's largely believed that Hope holds immense and incredible power that could free Klaus from the curse and save the other family members in "The Originals" Season 4. But so far, the possibility of that remains dim as Hope had never met Klaus before. She may have a difficult time lending her help to someone who has abandoned her all these years.
