The Originals to end after season five

Cape Town – The era of vampire television is coming to an end. 

The Vampire Diaries spin-off series The Originals will conclude after its fifth season. 

Showrunner Julie Plec announced the news on Thursday via Twitter. 

“I’m packing my bags for Comic-Con, realising it’s been a year since we announced the end of The Vampire Diaries. It feels only fitting to use this anniversary to make a second farewell announcement,” she wrote.

“This year, we invite you to help us say goodbye to The Originals, which begins shooting its fifth and final season on Monday.

“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…”
