Season One (The Originals)

Season One of The Vampire Diaries' spin-off The Originals series produced by The CW.
The story centers around the Original vampires fighting for control of the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana, which they helped build three hundred years before their return.
==Season Summary==
Family is power. The Original Vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years ago. They pledged to remain together, always and forever. Now, centuries have passed and the bonds of family are broken. Time, tragedy, and hunger for power have torn The Original Family apart.
When Niklaus Mikaelson, the Original Vampire-Werewolf Hybrid, receives a mysterious tip that a plot is brewing against him in the supernatural melting pot that is the French Quarter of New Orleans, he returns to the city his family helped build. Klaus' questions lead him to a reunion with his diabolical former protégé, Marcel, a charismatic vampire who has total control over the human and supernatural inhabitants of New Orleans. Determined to help his brother find redemption, Elijah follows Klaus and soon learns that the werewolf Hayley has also come to the French Quarter searching for clues to her family history, and has fallen into the hands of a powerful witch named Sophie.
Tensions between the town's supernatural factions are nearing a breaking point as Marcel commands his devoted followers and rules with absolute power. For Klaus, the thought of answering to his powerful protégé is unthinkable, and he vows to reclaim what was once his — the power, the city, and his family. While they wait to see if their sister Rebekah will leave Mystic Falls and join them, Klaus and Elijah form an uneasy alliance with the witches to ensure that New Orleans will be ruled by THE ORIGINALS once again.2013-14 The CW New Series

==Episodes List: 2013-2014==
==Trivia==
*The Originals was picked up for 13 episodes.
**On October 11, The CW ordered three more scripts increasing the episodes from 13 to 16.https://www.deadline.com/2013/10/the-cws-the-originals-the-tomorrow-people-reign-get-orders-for-more-scripts/
**On November 11, The CW picked up the series for a full season run, increasing the episodes to 22.
*On January 22, 2013, it was confirmed Daniel Gillies would be a regular, doing both shows (The Originals and .)
*A central theme of the new series was the voodoo and dark witchcraft running rampant in New Orleans' French Quarter, so naturally, witches have a strong presence in the series.
*On February 13, 2013, it was confirmed Claire Holt was in the main cast, though she eventually left.
*Joseph Morgan had promised that there would be plenty of crossover opportunity — especially since both shows are film in Atlanta. Meaning any of the characters in TVD could possibly come into the spinoff.
**Julie Plec hinted she has something in store for many pairings, including Matt and Rebekah, Klaus and Caroline, and even Elijah and Katherine.http://www.wetpaint.com/vampire-diaries/articles/2013-08-28-originals-julie-plec-hybrid-baby
*Joseph Morgan teases that fans can expect the spinoff to be "a little more adult, a little more kind of gothic because these are old time vampires here." 
*This is the third show that Claire Holt and Phoebe Tonkin starred in after the parent show (The Vampire Diaries) and H2O Just Add Water.
*Tyler Lockwood is the first confirmed character from The Vampire Diaries to crossover onto The Originals.
*There are currently only 6 main characters left after the death of Sophie and the departure of Rebekah. Only Klaus, Elijah, Hayley and Marcel have appeared in every episode so far.
*The Originals has more flashbacks in its first season as compared to that of The Vampire Diaries, the parent show, had in its first season.
*Marguerite MacIntyre (who portrays Liz Forbes on The Vampire Diaries) co-wrote three episodes of the first season: Sinners and Saints, Après Moi, Le Déluge and The Big Uneasy.
