'The Originals' Season 4 News Update: Series Facing Cancellation Threat? New Season Finding A New Home Network, To Air In ABC?

The fate of Julie Plec's "The Originals" might follow its parent series, "The Vampire Diaries." "TVD" will be airing its final season, while its spinoff is threatened by a possible cancellation. In fact, new reports suggest that "The Originals" Season 4 might air on ABC.

The ratings of "The Originals" has spiraled down, which makes its fate in the CW questionable. A new round of reports suggests that the network might cancel the "The Vampire Diaries" spinoff and that Julie Plec might need to find a new home network for "The Originals" Season 4.

According to reports, many were disappointed when the production killed Cami (Leah Pipes) and Davina (Danielle Campbell) in the "The Originals" Season 3. This was visible in the ratings of the series. Due to this, there are rumors that "The Originals" Season 4 is canceled or it might air on another network.

According to Inquisitr, there are rumors that "The Originals" Season 4 is moving to ABC. However, the report stressed that this is not confirmed. If the show is suffering from a decline in viewership, it is impossible for another network to pick it up. In fact, even TV series with high viewership that is canceled by its home network rarely make it to another network. For instance, there is a petition for "Limitless" Season 2 for Netflix to pick it up but up to now, there was no progress. There was also a petition for "Penny Dreadful" and now fans were already silent because the networks just turned a deaf ear to their pleas. The report added that if "The Originals" Season 4 is indeed moving to ABC then it would be major news and reputable publications will be sharing it. The lack of reliable sources claiming that "The Originals" Season 4 is moving to ABC make those claims pure speculations. However, it is true that the production is making efforts to save the series due to low ratings. In fact, there are also rumors that "The Originals" will bring back Klaroline. Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Caroline's (Candice King) romance in "The Originals" is one of the favorite plots in the storyline, so a Klaroline reunion might be in the works to extend the "TVD" spinoff.
