The upcoming season 4 will be its last.

Surprised it made it past 13 episodes, tbh. And I say this as someone who watches this mess.

Yeah, and they moved it into the spring, which I could see being good for the story but bad for business.

On one hand, it'll be free of the TVD shackles since it's resuming after TVD has ended, and they can stop trying to force crossovers that don't work narratively.. on the other, people who only watched because of the risk of TVD crossovers will be over it + there's nothing to connect it with anymore.

I love The Originals even though they keep killing people I like, so I'm hoping it doesn't end. :(

They have two shows ending and both No Tomorrow and Frequency are under performing. I'm sure netflix ratings will be the deciding factor for NT and Frequency, but I don't know if the CW would be willing to end BOTH TVD and TO the same year. I could see TO keeping a Friday slot for another shortened season. Something needs to air on Friday and CEG is never probably never gonna get a full season order so in theory they need at least 4 shows for that slot for fall and spring.

Also, they're still forcing an unnecessary crossover on TO with Alaric this season.

Ughhhh there is no point in any Alaric crossover at all, whyyyyyy. :|

Just give me Hayley and Rebekah and Freya being awesome, that's all I want, since they've ruined my hope for a Freya/Davina/Bonnie witchy badassery trio.

There REALLY isn't. It's so dumb.

YES!!!! That's honestly all I want too - Hayley, Rebekah, and Freya being awesome. Though, I am interested in Hope's witch abilities, and I hope they fully take advantage that Hope can actually be a character now with the time jump.

IA completely. Gimme awesome badass ladies being awesome badass ladies, plz.

Less "everybody hates Klaus" tho.

HONESTLY! lmao
