Danielle Rose Russell Describes 'Legacies' As A Mix of Your Two Favorite Fantasy Franchises

Danielle Rose Russell is spilling a little more detail on The Originals spinoff, Legacies.

Speaking with ET, the 18-year-old star revealed that the newest spinoff will be it’s own show.

“I’m really excited to continue Hope’s story, there is a lot to tell with her and her character. I’ve already read the first episode of Legacies and I love the tone it’s taking,” she shared.

Danielle adds that “Legacies is its own show and it takes on a younger twist to the supernatural world. It’s like an X-Men meets Hogwarts [Harry Potter], a much different vibe than what you’ve seen in both shows.”

She also talked about how Hope will continue to grow in the series.

“She’s very loving and very caring and only wants to do the best she can. But, of course, she’s going to make mistakes along the way, like anyone does — especially when you’re that age,” Danielle says.

“Unfortunately, the consequences of her mistakes have cost her a lot more. There’s a lot to her; there are many different sides to her, and you’ll see whether or not she’s the downfall or savior of New Orleans [on The Originals].”

Legacies will premiere on Thursday, October 25th on The CW.
