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 ratings remain as the indicator of whether the show will get renewed of not. TV Series Finale shows that the "TVD" spinoff series experienced a drop in its ratings during its third season.
"The Originals" only managed to score 0.38 ratings in the 18-49 demographics, which is 36.36 percent less than the second season. Ratings play a huge role in determining the fate of a show's future on air more than anything else.
Still, there is a chance that "The Originals" Season 4 will score a renewal from The CW; that is, if the show manages to attract more viewers into watching the episodes. The upcoming season will also have fewer episodes than the first three seasons, which is usually a sign that things are going bad for a series.
However, "The Originals" Season 4 spoilers reveal that there will be a "Haylijah" reunion coming, which can definitely bring the numbers back up for the show. Speaking with TV Line, executive producer Julie Plec explained that Hayley and Elijah deserve to have a reunion this time.
Plec teased that "The Originals" Season 4 will see a time jump in order to pick up from the time when "The Vampire Diaries" season 8 ends its story. It remains to be seen, however, whether characters from Mystic Falls will join the vampires at New Orleans.
