Executive Producer Julie Plec Opens Up About The Vampire Diaries/The Originals Crossover

New details from the upcoming Vampire Diaries and The Originals crossover has been released. Executive producer, Julie Plec, opened up about the special earlier this week and how it was born.

She stated, “The crossover was born out Stefan needing a place to escape. He’s on the run. He needs to go somewhere where magic can’t find him, and we realized he can go to New Orleans where there’s that bar where magic doesn’t work.”

She went onto say explain how this arc will play in The Originals stating, “Joe [Morgan] said, ‘I’ll happily do it on The Vampire Diaries, but can we do this on The Originals, too?’ We said, ‘If we can come up with something good, absolutely,’ and then we realized we have the perfect storyline already happening: the sire line and the war [between] all the trinity, and the prophecy saying that one of these Originals will die or all of them will fall.

The fear of that impacts Stefan directly, and so he sticks around for an Originals episode to participate in the latest dilemma to come out of that situation.”

No word on when production will begin on the crossover, but we will keep you informed. However, you can check out more details about the crossover here.
