Check out the latest Originals scoop EW & TV Guide has for us!
Via EW’s Spoiler Room:
Obviously it was pretty thrilling to see Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah get their own spinoff, but unfortunately we didn’t really learn anything new about the Mikaelson family in the first season of The Originals. Will we get to see any of their family history in the second season? — Cara
The short answer: Yes. More specifically, executive producer Michael Narducci reveals that we’re going to see “how the Originals wound up leaving Europe and coming to America.” Additionally, expect to learn much more about Mikael and Esther. “What’s their story? Where do they come from? In episode 16 last season, Klaus says, ‘Something made my father the way he was,’” Narducci said. “We want to tell that story. Why does he go around hunting his children and calling himself the destroyer and hating what he is?” Raise your hand if you’d watch a spinoff of a spinoff simply titled, Mikael Mikaelson.

The bloody Mikaelson Family reunion
Now that Klaus is a parent, will he have more understanding for his own mom and dad? Not quite. In fact, it only incites “extreme hatred” towards them. “Being a parent in the face that everything he is and finding that love in himself for his child only strengthens his anger and frustration with his parents for not being there for him,” Morgan says. “There’s a greater understanding that comes with being a parent and he desperately wants to understand why and wants a reason for why he should forgive him, but it isn’t there so it’s going to be a very tumultuous time for him. [So they’ll have] very emotional confrontations and also intense physical confrontations.”
