Quest For The Cure In 'The Originals' Season 4

Citing TVLine on an interview with executive producer Michael Narducci, "The Originals" Season 4 hints were reportedly given in the finale on how Hayley and Hope will try to save Elijah, Kol, Freya and Rebekah. Michael Narducci points to the fact that the band that Hayley will continue to try to save in "The Originals" Season 4 are dying from werewolf venom.

In "The Originals" Season 4, Hayley can only turn to one or two persons to play the hero. One of the possible "The Originals" Season 4 heroes is Klaus.

The other possibility points to Hope, which may mean that Hope will make good in "The Originals" Season 4 previous suppositions that her blood is an antidote to werewolf venom.

Before Hayley figures out the cure, a witch may come to Hayley's aid in "The Originals" Season 4. According to Michael Narducci, Hayley may try to reach the consciousness of the others with the help of a witch in "The Originals" Season 4.

Changes That 'The Originals' Season 4 Will Bring

One other interesting development is how events that lead to S3 finale now puts Vincent Griffith in a curious position in "The Originals" Season 4. Should Marcel revert to his old ruling style in "The Originals" Season 4, Michael Narducci suggests that Vincent may step in as the check and balance that maintains peace in New Orleans.

Michael Narducci also hinted that a possibility is that Vincent might not even have to do much policing in "The Originals" Season 4. This is was teased when Michael Narducci posed the question of whether or not Marcel will continue to be an enemy to the Mikaelsons forever - "The Originals" Season 4 may define a different landscape indeed.

Drone Technology In 'The Originals'

In the meantime, "The Originals" Season 4 will also have some great aerial shots to compete with. In an Entertainment Weekly exclusive, Julie Plec revealed that drone system was used to film some scenes for S3 and "The Originals" Season 4 would definitely benefit from continuing this for the new episodes.

"The Originals" Season 4 will skip the regular fall release in favor of a midseason release in 2017, April at the latest. Joseph Morgan, Daniel Gillies, Claire Holt and Riley Voelkel will rejoin Phoebe Tonkin, Charles Michael Davis and Yusuf Gatewood in "The Originals" Season 4.
