EW caught up with our favorite Original Hybrid, Joseph Morgan for a chat on what’s to come for Klaus and the rest of the crew in The Originals Season 2. Check out this scoop about an upcoming flashback and which brother will be returning.
Are we going to get more flashbacks that delve into Klaus’ relationship with Esther?
Yes. We’ve filmed some already. His relationship with his parents in general and the truth behind all of those stories and all of that stuff. You know, when we first featured young Klaus and young Elijah back in episode 16 of season one—that mammoth episode where Rebekah, Elijah, and Klaus were all trapped in the graveyard—and we started with young Klaus and young Rebekah and he gave her the chess piece, which Klaus then gave to his child later on, those kids were so good. Aiden [Flowers] is the kid who played young Klaus, and he was so good, I thought, “This is a relief, because he can share a little of the burden.” I knew he’d be back. He was too good for them not to bring him back, so we’re hoping to see more of them as children and really where the roots of the problem started.
And in addition to his parents, Klaus has another brother in town. Will we find out relatively quickly which brother it is?
Yes.
Regardless of whether it’s Kol or Finn, it’s not a good thing for Klaus.
No. I mean, I would say potentially Finn would be a worse thing, but—well, no, he wasn’t on great terms with Kol when Kol died. But I know he mourned Kol. He didn’t mourn Finn.
He also put Finn in a box for 900 years.
Yeah, Finn potentially would be more pissed, I think, but Kol is probably capable of causing more trouble and has the inclination to do so. He’s certainly more vindictive. But the guy who plays said brother Yusuf Gatewood is a bloody fantastic actor, so you’re going to really enjoy watching this guy. He’s really, really good.
