The Originals Picked Up As Series

News just in: The Originals has been picked up as a series on the CW for next fall. The CW President Mark Pedowitz had this to say about the back door pilot of last nights 'The Vampire Diaries'.

“As soon as we saw last night’s episode of ‘The Vampire Diaries,’ we knew we wanted more of ‘The Originals’ – Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson have done a fantastic job with ‘The Vampire Diaries,’ which is as fast-paced and well-written as ever, and Julie has created an equally compelling world for ‘The Originals,’”
