Huge Vampire Diaries news: The CW is officially developing a spinoff for the Thursday hit and you’re going to have a chance to see the pilot.
After years of rumors about extending the supernatural franchise, The CW has decided to launch a backdoor pilot for a spinoff within the show’s current fourth season. The story centers around the original family of vampires and stars Joseph Morgan (Klaus). In the episode, Klaus “returns to the supernatural melting pot that is the French Quarter of New Orleans — a town he helped build centuries ago — and is reunited with his diabolical former protégé Marcel. Phoebe Tonkin, who plays sexy werewolf Hayley on TVD, is also set to star. The episode airs April 25. The working title of the spinoff is The Originals.
Vampire Diaries executive producer Julie Plec will write the episode and serve as showrunner on the new project if it earns a series order.
Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo will also serve as executive producers. Vampire Diaries showrunner Kevin Williamson, who also has his upcoming Fox show The Following, is not involved with the spinoff. The show is produced by Alloy Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios.

anyway, i think phoebe's gorgeous but her line delivery on tsc could be downright painful at times. i think it was because she was struggling so hard to maintain an american accent.
Mainly my problem with her is that distractingly weird accent. And I think she might kind of suck as an actress. But other times I think maybe she is fine, and I am just failing to grasp the emotion she is conveying because it is lost in the accent. Either way, she's not working for me.
But seriously. HBO or nothing. 1000 years of sex and bloodshed and the CW is not going to do it justice.
daniel gillies show's been cancelled right?
is this joke?
I wish Phoebe could be in a show that has the possibility of lasting a while where she plays an Australian.

lmao the weird accent gets to you too?
No but really if Stefan and Caroline were to be on it, I'd prob watch. I miss them since I've stopped watching TVD.
