‘The Originals' Season 4 Release Date, News & Update: Joseph Morgan To See Klaus Mikaelson Saved By Marcel Gerard Once More?

"The Originals" Season 4 premiere will have fans rooting for Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan) to escape from the dungeon in which Marcel Gerard (Charles Michael Davis) had been keeping the original hybrid a prisoner. While this situation in "The Originals" Season 4 premiere paints Marcel Gerard a villain of sorts, fans of The CW know better and one wonders if the former will save Klaus Mikaelson in S4 once more.

As fans of "The Originals" know by now, peril will follow Klaus Mikaelson and Hope closely in Season 4. Parent Herald cites TV Guide in revealing that an enemy with a deep-seated grudge against Klaus Mikaelson will target Vincent Griffith (Yusuf Gatewood) as first victim.

  Whether "The Originals" Season 4 villain will turn Vincent Griffith into a lackey or simply immobilize the self-appointed guardian of New Orleans will be disastrous. This is most especially true for Klaus Mikaelson, Hayley Marshall (Phoebe Tonkin) and Hope (Summer Fontana) as news say the children of New Orleans will be hunted by a mysterious enemy in "The Originals" Season 4.

One wonders then if Marcel Gerard will play savior to Klaus Mikaelson once again in "The Originals" Season 4. Entertainment Weekly cites "The Originals" executive producer Julie Plec in pointing out how Marcel Gerard had helped and saved Klaus Mikaelson against various enemies in the past.

At this point, no real concept of who these people are, but they seem like nice blokes. #SDCC2016 #TheOriginals pic.twitter.com/lHQPbhaPVp

If New Orleans and its children are to survive the evils of "The Originals" Season 4, Marcel Gerard, Klaus Mikaelson, Hayley Marshall and the Mikaelsons have to pull together. Hayley Marshall may also be able to persuade her expected new friend Keelin (Christina Moses) to bring in the seven packs and join the fray that is "The Originals" Season 4.

Fans will get to see more of Marcel Gerard and Klaus Mikaelson when The CW airs "The Originals" Season 4 premiere at midseason 2017 - firm date pending. Why do you suppose the children of New Orleans and Hope are going to be targeted in "The Originals" Season 4?
