The Originals wrapped up its fourth season with a finale that could've served as a series ender: despite a heartbreaking twist that saw four of the Mikaelson siblings torn apart forever, they each got a solo happy (or at least bittersweet) ending — and the potential crossover set up in the Vampire Diaries series finale came to fruition.
With the Hollow finally possessing Hope, the only way to save the young Mikaelson witch was to split the Hollow's evil, Horcrux-style, into four of the ultra-powerful siblings. The consequence: Klaus (Joseph Morgan), Rebekah (Claire Holt), Elijah (Daniel Gillies) and Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic) will never be able to be in the same room together again without the evil gaining control, meaning they all went their separate ways. Rebekah and Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) finally embarked on a real relationship in New York City, Kol was about to propose to Davina (Danielle Campbell) in San Francisco, Elijah was playing piano in France, Klaus was checking in on his brother, and Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) was last seen dropping Hope off at Alaric's school.
When the show returns for season five on The CW, The Hollywood Reporter has learned that the focus will shift to follow a teenage Hope at the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted—but the rest of the characters will still be in the mix despite the fact that most of them can't be in the same room together without setting off devastating supernatural consequences. And although Hope will be relocating to Mystic Falls, New Orleans isn't out of the picture either — something will likely lure the Mikaelsons back to the city that keeps calling their name.
THR spoke to outgoing showrunner Michael Narducci, who is exiting for an overall deal at ABC Studios, about writing an episode with plenty of closure, Vampire Diaries crossovers and where the story will go in season five.
