The Originals - Spoiler From EW - 3rd October 2014

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?

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.
