It's been exactly a year since The CW and series creator Julie Plec announced that The Vampire Diaries would be ending. And now, Plec has once again used Comic-Con weekend to announce that the spinoff The Originals will be ending after its upcoming fifth season.
In its fifth and final season, the drama stars Joseph Morgan, Daniel Gillies, Phoebe Tonkin, Charles Michael Davis, Yusuf Gatewood, Riley Voelkel and Danielle Rose Russell.
Julie Plec created the drama. She executive produces with Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo. Warner Bros. Television, CBS Television Studios, Alloy Entertainment and My So-Called Company produce.
The final season is slated to debut on The CW sometime in 2018.
