The Originals is an American fantasy supernatural drama television series that focuses on three of the six Mikaelson siblings: Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah. The Mikaelsons are well known throughout the supernatural community and are called “the originals” for being the first vampires in creation.
It is a spin-off of The Vampire Diaries and the first television series expansion of the franchise based on its parent series.
The series begins with the Original siblings returning to the city of New Orleans for the first time since 1919, where a pregnant Hayley has also settled. Having originally built the French Quarter, they had been forced to abandon it when fleeing from their vengeful father, Mikael.
In their absence, Klaus’s protégé, Marcel, took charge of the French Quarter. Klaus resolves that they must take down Marcel and get back the city that once belonged to them. While doing that, they must also protect their city from a war brewing between vampires, werewolves, and witches.
