The Originals season 2 doesn’t start until October 6, but the details are starting to dribble in, this week in the form of a season synopsis and our first still!
Four more long weeks until The Originals season 2 hits our screens, but at least we have a few things to hope for/look forward to in the meantime. We got a 30 second long trailer last week, and now we’ve got a synopsis and still to obsess over.
The still comes courtesy of Tvline.com and features Klaus and Hayley meeting in the woods with an injured Oliver cowering at their feet. Make sure to check it out, as it’s nice to see that Hayley is up and running as we return to the Quarter. What exactly they could be chatting about remains to be seen, but we can almost certainly assume that the words family, trouble, and Quarter probably factor in somehow.
We also got an official synopsis for The Originals season 2, which gives us a decent idea of what we can expect when the show returns in October (on Mondays this season!):
“Season two finds our heroes adjusting to a new status quo, with the newly empowered werewolves controlling the city and a myriad of unknown threats lurking. Though Klaus and Hayley have vowed to scorch the earth in order to make New Orleans a safe home for their daughter, Hope, they also have inner demons to battle. As she adjusts to life as a hybrid, Hayley experiences crippling rage and depression after saying goodbye to her daughter, and Klaus – who needs his strength now more than ever – finds himself regularly weakened as the werewolves use the moonlight rings forged in his blood. Elijah, finding himself isolated from his troubled family, sets out to destroy Francesca (guest star Peta Sergeant) and her traitorous werewolves, connecting with Marcel and his renewed vampire community in the process. Despite the dangerous climate of the city, Cami recommits to her studies and to pursuing the life she wanted before she met Klaus – but the werewolves in the Quarter aren’t the only enemies preventing New Orleans from any semblance of peace.
Unbeknownst to Klaus and Elijah, their ruthlessly devious parents have returned from the dead. Though their father, Mikael (guest star Sebastian Roché), is controlled by Davina’s magic, he remains ever-intent on killing Klaus – even if he has to go through Davina to do it. Elsewhere, their mother, Esther (guest star Alice Evans), inhabiting the body of a teenage witch, is fueled by a consuming and twisted love for her children as she devises a disturbing plan to reunite her fractured family – a plan that involves untold torment not only for the Original siblings, but for any and all of their loved ones.”
This is shaping up to be incredible season of vampire TV, and we can’t wait to see what Julie Plec and company have in store for us.
Also, the DVD/Blu-ray for The Originals season 1 is available today in stores, so if you need a refresher or a rewatch, here’s your chance!
