It is expected that the storyline of The Originals will be pretty much wrapped up in a nice way that the viewers will love if words of the showrunners are anything to go by. Julie Plec through a tweet posted on twitter said, “It’s both a gift and a burden to be able to control the ending of a series,” she wrote. She went on further to write, “Many shows are not lucky enough to have a hand in deciding when the end has come.”

If her words are anything to go by, not all lovers of the show may fancy the ending as she revealed that the series’ end will be a “bittersweet” one. Julie Plec went further to acknowledge that working on the television show has been a “true blessing”, especially since she was give a say in making the critical decisions that affected the show.

The good news however is that she somewhat hinted while addressing fans directly that there maybe another spin-off from the Vampire Diaries, akin to The Originals. I her words, “Celebrate with us, cry with us, visit with us, watch us next spring when we air…
“And know that in a show about an immortal family who believes in ‘Always and Forever’, it’s never really the end of the story…”

If her words are anything to go by, then lovers of the television show should anticipate a new series, even as they wait for the fifth and final season of The Originals which begins shooting next week.
