Thanks to Zap2It we have some exciting news for The Originals! Looks like the series will get a brand new premiere episode when the show premieres in the Fall. But please understand, this episode will not replace the current backdoor pilot. More details from Zap2It!
What will fans see in this new premiere?
Chronologically, the new “Originals” premiere will follow the backdoor pilot. That episode — and everything that happened in it — will still exist in the show’s universe. The purpose of the new premiere is instead to move the story forward and to introduce the characters and concepts to new viewers who may not have watched “The Vampire Diaries” in the past.
There will also be a new character, Davina. Played by Danielle Campbell, this character is a witch in New Orleans who gets tied up in Klaus’ (Joseph Morgan) return to town. Davina was originally supposed to be in the backdoor pilot, but the part was cut during editing.
