The Originals – Season 4
Joseph Morgan | Daniel Gillies | Phoebe Tonkin | Charles Michael Davis
The Originals – Season 4 marks a turning point in the series, blending emotionally charged storytelling with high-stakes supernatural conflict. Picking up five years after the events of Season 3, the once-mighty Mikaelson family lies scattered and silenced. Klaus (Joseph Morgan) has been imprisoned in a magical slumber by Marcel, now the vampire king of New Orleans, while Elijah, Rebekah, Kol, and Freya remain linked in a mystical sleep, hidden away by Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) who is now raising young Hope in secrecy.
As the city rebuilds under Marcel’s iron rule, a new and ancient evil emerges—The Hollow—a dark, malevolent force that threatens not just the Mikaelsons, but the balance of magic itself. With witches sensing the disruption, and the supernatural factions on edge, Hayley races against time to awaken the Originals. Her journey takes her across continents to collect the cures that will break the sleeping curse. Once revived, the Mikaelsons reunite, but they are not the same. Time has changed them. Loyalties are tested. Relationships fray. And amidst it all, Hope’s magical powers are rapidly evolving, making her a beacon for both salvation and destruction.
Season 4 deepens the mythology of the series, exploring the spiritual and psychological torment of immortality. Klaus, haunted by guilt and paternal fears, is more vulnerable than ever. Elijah, torn between his identity and the monstrous deeds of his past, begins to unravel. Freya becomes increasingly desperate in her protective role, and Kol faces a choice between love and loyalty. Meanwhile, the Hollow grows stronger, feeding on death and corruption, forcing even enemies to become uneasy allies.
What sets this season apart is its emotional depth. While the show still delivers breathtaking action—ambushes in the bayou, witchcraft battles under blood moons, and vampire-on-vampire duels—the heart of the narrative lies in its exploration of family: how far you’ll go to save it, and what you’re willing to lose in the process. The writing is tighter, the stakes feel personal, and the performances—particularly from Joseph Morgan and Daniel Gillies—are some of the strongest in the series.
The cinematography remains lush and atmospheric, with the haunting streets of New Orleans serving as the perfect gothic backdrop. The musical score underscores every tragedy and triumph, amplifying the series’ signature mix of horror, romance, and legacy.
The Originals – Season 4 is more than just a supernatural drama—it’s a layered, gripping tale of redemption, sacrifice, and the unbreakable (and sometimes toxic) bonds of family. As the Hollow closes in, the Mikaelsons must confront the darkness within themselves, and the devastating truth: sometimes, to protect those you love, you must become the monster they fear.
