The Originals‘ final season is getting more and more new faces as we crawl our way to the premiere.
Aria Shahghasemi is the latest actor to join the fifth season, as Landon, TVLine reports.
Landon is a “thoughtful, compassionate and self-aware kid from the wrong side of the tracks who catches Hope’s attention when she witnesses him being bullied by his affluent classmates.”
Aria‘s Landon will make his debut in the 12th episode in the upcoming season.
The website also suggests that Landon could join the talked-about, but not confirmed, Hope-centric spinoff.
The Originals final season will debut in Spring 2018.
Danielle Rose Russell glams up for the premiere of her new movie, Wonder, held at Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles on Tuesday night (November 14).
The actress, who will next star in The Originals on The CW, joined her co-stars including Jacob Tremblay, Noah Jupe, Ty Consiglio, James Hughes, Elle McKinnon, Kyle Breitkopf, Millie Davis, and Erika McKitrick on the red carpet.
Wonder tells the incredibly inspiring and heartwarming story of August Pullman (Tremblay), a boy with facial differences who enters fifth grade, attending a mainstream elementary school for the first time.
FYI: Danielle wearing Tamara Mellon shoes.

Danielle Rose Russell will star as a teenage Hope on The Originals final season, premiering next year on The CW.
The young actress just got started filming a few months ago and just revealed that she finally feels like a genuine Mikaelson.
“You know you’re a Mikaelson when you wake up barely able to speak because you spent your entire day screaming and crying at work yesterday,” Danielle shared on Twitter.
And as any Originals fan will tell you — this is EXACTLY what being a Mikaelson is all about.

We may be seeing Danielle Rose Russell a lot longer than just in the final season of The Originals.
During the TCA tour today, CW president Mark Pedowitz revealed that there have been talks for a spinoff centered on Hope Mikaelson.
“There’s been many discussions about the character Hope,” he shared. “I’m very interested if she wishes to do it in the The Vampire Diaries universe.”
He adds that while there are talks, nothing is set in stone.
“Nothing has come out of it yet. Julie [Plec] really wants to get the final season of The Originals done.”
For the upcoming season of The Originals, we’ll see Hope attend the special school run by headmistress Caroline Forbes (Candice King).
Hope and Hayley are reunited!
Danielle Rose Russell shared her first pic with Phoebe Tonkin on her Instagram, after meeting up with her on the set of The Originals on Wednesday (July 26).
The actress was just cast as the teenage Hope, daughter of Hayley and Klaus, for the upcoming fifth and final season.
During the panel at Comic-Con, showrunner Julie Plec shared that Danielle is perfect for the part.
“[She's] incredibly natural,” Julie shared. She just kind of lives and breathes with an intelligence, the way that all these guys do, as actors.”
The Originals just started filming the final season and will be back on The CW in 2018.
The Originals has found it’s new Hope!
Actress Danielle Rose Russell, 17, has been cast as the teenage version of Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Hayley’s (Phoebe Tonkin) daughter, according to EW.
As we know, there will be a major time jump for season five and Hayley was last seen dropping Hope off at the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted in Mystic Falls.
The Vampire Diaries characters Alaric (Matt Davis) and Caroline (Candice Accola) run the school, so it’s possible we may see them pop up in the next season of The Originals.
There’s not much more we know other than Hope will have a love interest.
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Danielle being cast as the new Hope?
