The new season is full of more originals and it is said that there will be a visit by the real original vampires before the Mikaelsons as well as the 1st person to use the vampire spell before Esther.
The original witches will also be in the mix and will be sure to provide a lot of super natural action and suspense in what seems to be a season of culminating events and characters. Lets all hope that Elena gets to remain her human sweet self or otherwise this will be her new look
