'The Originals' Showrunner Talks More About Hope-Centered Spinoff

Julie Plec is giving fans a little more insight about the possible Originals spinoff, which would center on Hope Mikaelson.

We know that Danielle Rose Russell would return as Hope, as well as Matt Davis as Alaric.

Now, speaking with Variety, Julie teased that it was always their intention to continue any kind of story with Hope.

“Outside of Hope herself we really didn’t think about the spinoff, in terms of how we were going to end the series,” she shared. “The spinoff has always just been a nugget of hope that lives in the recesses of my mind, but I didn’t want to make any real decisions based on a maybe for the future

For Hope, she’d be the “Angel to whoever the Buffy is.”

Julie adds, “She’s lived a lot, she’s experienced a lot, she’s faced death, and I think the important thing to remember as we head into this season is that death is always a threat — and often successful!”

“I like the idea that at 17 she’s seen more, done more, felt more and loved more than most people at that age.”
