"The Originals" season 4 has been plagued with rumors saying that it's going to be the series' last after The CW reduced its episode order. However, there have been developments in "The Originals" season 4 that could mean continuous airing for the series. A recent agreement between Netflix and The CW suggests that the former may pick up "The Vampire Diaries" spinoff after it airs season 4 on The CW.
Agreement Between The CW & Netflix
It usually takes months before Netflix airs a TV series from other networks. However, Netflix and The CW entered an agreement that will allow Netflix to air "The Originals" season 4 just eight days after the season finale airs on The CW. That means fans can easily catch up with the series after the finale episode airs on The CW, NetflixLife noted. More so, many fans believe that the agreement includes the continuous airing of "The Originals" right after season 4.
There were speculations that "The Originals" season 4 will become the final season of the series. With the new agreement announced between The CW and Netflix, many are hopeful that Netflix will pick up the series after it airs the season finale on The CW. GamenGuide previously reported that The CW decreased the episode order, prompting many fans to fear they're going to see the last of their favorite series next year.
Save 'The Originals'
While the reduced episode order doesn't bode well for "The Originals" season 4, fans are thinking of ways to save the series. One suggestion is the crossover of "The Vampire Diaries" characters. The latest one is Netflix picking up the series after season 4. Do you think Netflix will continue production of the series after season 4?
"The Originals" season 4 is expected to premiere in January or February 2017 on The CW. "The Vampire Diaries" spinoff is scheduled for 13 episodes. Season 4 may probably between March and May. That means fans could expect Netflix to start airing "The Originals" season 4 around this time too.
