The Originals S01E01

In a captivating narrative spun off from The Vampire Diaries, The Originals unfolds in the vibrant setting of New Orleans, where the spotlight shines on the Mikaelson siblings - the legendary trio recognized as the original vampires: Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah. In a bid to reclaim the city he once meticulously shaped, Klaus finds himself facing off against his former apprentice, Marcel, who now wields power over New Orleans. Klaus had left the city in haste years ago, pursued by his relentless father Mikael during its formative years, paving the way for Marcel's ascendancy. Returning after a prolonged absence, Klaus's undeniable hubris propels him towards seizing the throne of this bewitching city. "Every ruler must have a successor," proclaims Klaus, embracing the imminent arrival of an unprecedented offspring - the offspring of a hybrid and a werewolf, a groundbreaking occurrence in their supernatural realm.
