This article contains spoilers. Read on if you want to learn more about the details of this story.
"The Originals" Season 4 is rumored to be on the brink of cancellation after The CW announced that "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 will serve as the series finale. Several reports claimed that the ratings for the "TVD" spinoff series are not enough to sustain another season.
While "The Originals" Season 4 can pretty much stand on its own without "TVD" Season 8, there is a possibility that several cast members from the latter will join the spinoff series. This may help boost the ratings for the spinoff series since they can make the stories more interesting.
As Zap2It notes in its report, Alaric may be one of the "TVD" cast members who could join "The Originals" Season 4. Matt may also join the spinoff series given that he has already appeared in the show before and he has already left Mystic Falls during the Season 7 finale.
There are also rumors that Nina Dobrev will be joining "The Originals" Season 4 cast as Katherine, not as Elena. According to Celeb Dirty Laundry, Klaus and Katherine share quite a history on the show and it would definitely be interesting to see more of their tandem in The CW drama.
However, many fans believe that "The Originals" Season 4 should continue without "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 cast members. Some insisted that the spinoff series is already good on its own even without the cast from its original series.
