The Originals season 5 officially has a trailer… even if it is only 30 seconds.

Wow. I didn’t realize how unprepared I was for this final season of The Originals until I had to think about this being our last teaser trailer. Hopefully we’ll see a longer version of this as the date comes a little closer. Our last Mikaelson family adventure starts April 20.

Take a peek at this quick look into what the cast and crew of The Originals have put together for us. It looks crazy, and that’s only in 30 seconds.

We will bring you a more detailed breakdown later (especially taking stock of who appears in which scenes because this IS is the final season and that could mean dire consequences), but at first glance, while Klaus is the one saying “Always and forever” at the end there, it is definitely Elijah standing apart from Kol, Rebekah, Klaus, and Marcel. All I know is if Elijah ends up as some sort of permanent sacrificial lamb, this fangirl is going to cry so, so many tears.

Make sure to let us know what you think! And for sure let us know if you spy any other revealing details in this trailer.

If you are finding yourself a little lost, do not fear. As we get closer to the season 5 premiere, we will most definitely have a refresher course for you. A lot went down last June, and it will have some serious repercussions for how this final season of Mikaelson drama will play out.

And we will have our ears to the ground for any and all developments for that Originals/Vampire Diaries spinoff series that seems to be in the works. Especially if Hope is involved. How could her father, mother, aunts, and uncles possibly never visit her at school? They’re going to have parents day, right?
