'The Originals' Showrunner Announces Show Will End With Season 5

It’s the end of The Originals with season 5.

Julie Plec announced the decision on Twitter just before heading to Comic-Con for the weekend, where the show will have a panel.

“It’s both a gift and a burden to be able to control the ending of a series. Many shoes are not lucky enough to have a hand in deciding when the end has come,” she writes.

“Celebrate with us, cry with us, visit with us, watch us next spring when we air…and know that in a show about an immortal family who believes in ‘Always and Forever’, it’s never really the end of the story.”
