'The Originals' Season 4 Premiere Set for March 17; Hayley Fights for Family
After a long wait, fans of The CW's "The Vampire Diaries'" spin-off, "The Originals," can expect for the fourth season of the supernatural series to air by March 17. And since that is more or less a month away, the show released its first ever teaser poster featuring Haley (Phoebe Tonkin) and Klaus Mikaelson's (Joseph Morgan) little girl with dead ravens around her and the words "Evil walks with us... Always and forever."
Needless to say, the dark-themed poster signals bleak times ahead for the characters. Fans will now see Klaus's daughter, Hope, as a grown-up played by Summer Fontana.
During an interview with TVLine, executive producer Michael Narducci explains that Hope inherited her mother's street smarts but could also display some of her father's traits when it comes to her temper and "willingness to do whatever it takes to protect her family."
