"The Originals" Season 4 is believed to be the series finale for The CW drama shortly after the network announced the end to "The Vampire Diaries." Various reports claim that the ratings for the spinoff drama are not enough to pull in a renewal from the network. Is it time to say goodbye to the vampires from New Orleans?
This article contains spoilers. Read on if you want to learn more about the details of this story.
"The Originals" Season 4 cancellation news reveals that "The Vampire Diaries" spinoff series may be ending after four seasons on air. According to TV Series Finale, the spinoff series' ratings are not as high as its predecessor.
It can be recalled that "TVD" Season 8 was believed to be cancelled on The CW due to its continuous drop in ratings after Nina Dobrev left the show in Season 6. "The Originals" Season 3 only pulled in an average of 0.38 rating in the 18-49 demographics, which was 36.26% lower than the previous seasons.
As most fans know, a show's fate depends highly on its performance, which can be measured through ratings. "The Originals" Season 4 would, therefore, require a higher percentage of viewership if fans want to see it renewed for Season 5.
Meanwhile, "The Originals" Season 4 spoilers from TV Guide reveal that there will be a time jump from where things left off in the Season 3 finale. According to executive producer Michael Narducci, this time jump will coincide with the fact that the show will premiere at a later time.
Narducci explained that "The Originals" Season 4 release date will have no effect on the story for the new season. As a matter of fact, the time jump will reportedly make the transition smoother for fans and viewers.
