She Knows had a chance to chat with Vampire Diaries & The Originals Executive Producer, Julie Plec about the upcoming potential spin-off. Check out what she had to say!
SK: We’ve heard that in order to film The Originals, Joseph Morgan is leaving The Vampire Diaries. He plays a pivotal role in the series. Is Silas going to kill him? How is Klaus going to die?
JP: No. Klaus will step away from Mystic Falls to pursue a mystery that will take him to New Orleans. The idea being that though he won’t return to live in Mystic Falls necessarily, should the spin-off move forward, it certainly won’t be the last we saw of him in Mystic Falls. We’ll see more of him over the course of the season. Of course, if the spin-off doesn’t go to series, he’ll be right there wreaking havoc with Caroline.
Klaus is immortal. The only thing that could kill him is a white oak stake. If he ever dies, then all of our heroes die with him. That definitely ensures his longevity.
SK: How is the spin-off show The Originals going to stand apart from The Vampire Diaries?
JP: It’s all born of a very similar world of tone and grounded in human emotion: love, family, loss, betrayal, friendship. I think if anything it’s much more of a deep operatic family supernatural drama. The original family and their dynamics with each other is what’s driving the series, the center of which is Klaus: mercurial, egomaniacal, temperamental and unpredictable. It’s about understanding what makes him tick and his siblings trying to figure out how to keep him in line.
