"The Originals" is a spinoff series based on characters from "The Vampire Diaries." The show is already heading into its fourth season, but fans and viewers are worried over the future of the series after The CW announced that "TVD" was ending after Season 8.

There have been speculations that "The Originals" Season 4 may serve as the series finale following "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. However, a recent interview with The CW boss Mark Pedowitz dismisses all claims that the show would not be able to stand on its own.

"I hope it lives very well on its own," he said, according to Deadline. "I'm hopeful that we will see a fifth year."

As most fans can recall, "TVD" Season 8 was cancelled because of the continued decline in the show's ratings since Nina Dobrev left in Season 6. However, The Stopru notes on the possibility that "The Originals" Season 4 may be more successful than its original series.

Many fans are hoping to see some of the characters from "The Vampire Diaries" in "The Originals" Season 4. The show may serve as a means for "Klaroline" shippers to finally get their dream to see Klaus and Caroline together; that is, if Caroline and Stefan will not end up together in the series finale.
