The Originals has captivated fans and non-fans alike, thanks to the undying interest for lovable vampires, witches, and magical creatures. Though Season 4 of The Originals is set to air in the first quarter of 2017, it's not all about the good news as the upcoming season will be the last of the series.

According to unofficial reports, Season 4 of The Originals will be the last season for the much-loved TV series. Also, the number of episodes in the upcoming season will be reduced.

The Final Fate of The Originals

This can be compared to the fate of its sister TV series, The Vampire Diaries, where the number of episodes was also reduced before it was officially announced that it was going to be the last one. Most likely, The Originals will also suffer the same fate with that of The Vampire Diaries.

Phoebe Tonkin who plays the character of Hayley in the  TV series, says in the San Diego Comic-Con held last July that the upcoming season of The Originals will be fast paced, thanks to a more condensed storyline.

The Death of Major Characters

The death of Klaus, who is played by Joseph Morgan, is rumored to be the final blow to the finale of the series. Klaus' death will be caused by a dual matchup with a far more powerful enemy, as he is in a weakened state.

Surely, there will be a lot of uproars regarding this potentially true sad ending. There are also rumors that Katherine Pierce who is played by Nina Dobrev, will be the one to kill Klaus and bring an end to the series once and for all.

Whichever the case may be, it is very likely that the upcoming Season 4 of The Originals is going to be the last one. Only one question remains: Who will bring an end to the life of Klaus?

Surely, Season 4 of The Originals will be one of the most loved and remembered TV series of all time.
