Just when it seemed like the return of The Vampire Diaries and the premiere of The Originals were too far away to bear, we get a little reprieve! The CW announced today via press release that they’re moving up both shows’ start dates — to the same night!
Per the press release, “The series premiere of The Originals will now debut on a special night and time on Thursday, October 3, 9:00-10:00 p.m. ET.” It follows TVD’s Season 5 premiere, “which is bowing one week earlier than previously announced, Thursday, October 3, 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET, giving The Originals the additional exposure of premiering behind the network’s highest-rated series.”
Initially, The Vampire Diaries Season 5 was to start October 10, while its spin-off, The Originals, would’ve debuted the following week on October 15.
The TVD-TO pairing isn’t permanent, though. The following week, The Originals will move to its regular time, Tuesdays at 8 pm, before Supernatural.
