Klaus, the original vampire/werewolf hybrid, returns to New Orleans -- which his family helped build -- to investigate rumors of a plot against him, in this spinoff of "The Vampire Diaries." He finds his former protege, Marcel, reigning powerful over its inhabitants, causing growing tension in the supernatural community. Klaus' brother, Elijah, joins him, and they learn that werewolf Hayley has fallen into the hands of a defiant witch who has life-changing information. In hope of reclaiming the city, Klaus and Elijah form an uneasy alliance with the witches to help further their cause.

At this point, part of me wonders if The CW didn't make us wait so long for The Originals so that we'd be in a similar mindset as the characters, who've waited five years to be reunited. Go to Full Review Mandy Treccia TV Source Magazine 01/18/2019
"Gather Up the Killers" started out slow. Not because of the exposition, but due to the lack of Original family members. Go to Full Review Paul Dailly TV Fanatic 10/19/2017
The Originals Season 4 Episode 1 was, without a doubt the best episode in a few years. Go to Full Review Mark Trammell TV Equals 06/15/2017
This wasn't a bad run of episodes, even if the show fell back on some of the old tropes of the genre. Go to Full Review Amanda Hayman The Young Folks 03/20/2017

Maya S @RT79299404 12/25/2024 Again very good TV. Saddened to know this is the fourth and nearly on to season 5 the finale. See more Rowan C @RowanC3 11/03/2024 This season was not better than the first three, but I liked how the villain was so threatening to the entire city of New Orleans. Hope and Klauses relationship was one of a kind because they got so close in a short period of time together. Season 4 had a very sad ending, watching all of the siblings part ways to find better lives because that is what they had to do for the sake of Hope. The saddest part was at the end when Elijah was playing the piano and he got to see Klaus for one last time. Overall, this was a heartfelt season and I am glad they could find happiness in finding their new lives. See more 02/03/2022 Good story lines good continuity acting could be overly Shakespearian but one of the reasons I like it. See more 11/04/2021 ALWAYS AND FOREVER! I will never love a show as much as The Originals! Do I believe they deserved a better ending? Yes, yes I do. But will my love for the Mikaelsons change or die? NEVER! My love for them and this show will be truly immortal 🖤 See more steve d @RT35616104 08/01/2020 The series found a way to make Klaus a bit more interesting and the story is strong.
