Vampire Diaries spinoff ‘The Originals’ gets UK air date
Vampire drama The Originals has been given its UK air date.
The Vampire Diaries spinoff will premier on Syfy on Tuesday, October 22 at 10pm.
The Originals is based around the Mikaelson siblings Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah, who first appeared in season two of The Vampire Diaries.
The plot sees the Originals return to their former home in New Orleans, where they become embroiled in a power struggle and involved in a community “fuelled by intolerance, lies and a selfish drive for power”.
Adam Collings, channel director for Syfy UK, said: “With such an established and successful heritage, and US network credentials, The Originals is our biggest acquisition since V in 2010.
“Its narrative is edgy and contemporary, and has something for fans of The Vampire Diaries and new viewers to the franchise, alike.
“We are hugely excited to be giving the world’s original vampires centre stage in our autumn line-up.”
The Originals premieres in the US on The CW on Thursday, October 3 at 9/8c, moving to Tuesdays at 8/7c from October 8.
UK fans can see the show on Syfy on Tuesday, October 22 at 10pm.
