The Vampire Diaries and The Originals Get New Premiere Dates
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.
Check out the full press release below.

Vampire Diaries Season 5 Is the Year of the Doppelgänger Says Julie Plec — Exclusive
Now that Stefan (Paul Wesley) has a doppelgänger on The Vampire Diaries, these shadow-selves are practically a dime a dozen. During the recent CBS Summer TCA All-Star event, Wetpaint Entertainment spoke with executive producers Julie Plec and Caroline Dries about why The Vampire Diaries Season 5 will be the “season of the doppelgänger.”
Wetpaint Entertainment: Let’s go through the big arcs of the season. What can we say as far as Vampire Diaries goes?
Julie Plec: College. Relationships, long-distance relationships.
Caroline Dries: I don't know what the definition of arc is, but we have cool new mythologies that we're introducing this season. So obviously, you've met Silas briefly at the end of the season, and so going into this season, we already know Elena's a doppelgänger. Katherine's a doppelganger. So we're just like, "Why do doppelgänger exist?" And so now that we realize Stefan's a doppelgänger, we kind of explore the deeper mythology of why does this weird phenomena occur. So that's pretty cool. And that has ripple effects for all of our main three characters.
JP: Basically, a doppelgänger is the zombie of another supernatural show. It's our next layer of supernatural mystery that we haven't truly explored yet. So it's a season of the doppelgänger.
Does everyone have a doppelgänger?
JP: No. The mystery of how the doppelgänger was created and why and how often they appear and for what reason is something that we actually start getting into right away. And by Episode 3, we start laying a lot of the answers to that mystery out.
What Stefan? What's happening?
JP: Well, poor Stefan has just been on the quarry floor in that safe, drowning over and over again all summer long. So he's struggling, to put it mildly, and hopefully he won't have to struggle for much longer because his loved ones will realize that he's missing. But until that happens, he's just screwed.
CD: So many seem to have a really heartbreaking story in the first episode.
JP: Yeah, it's funny, in spite of being in the bottom of the quarry floor, the Stefan storyline in episode one is really moving, and keeps alive that sense of his strong feelings for both his brother and for Elena.

Pretty Little Liars’ Steven Krueger Cast on The Originals: First On-Set Pic!
If we were Hollywood actors looking to land a gig, we’re pretty sure a role on The Originals would be at the top of our list. Luckily for Steven Krueger, he’s one of the few actors who can say he’s accomplished this incredible goal!
For at least three episodes, Steven — who you may remember as Emily’s ex-boyfriend on Pretty Little Liars — will be portraying the role of Josh. Josh has been described as a young tourist who gets a bit too wild during a night out in New Orleans. When he stumbles into Marcel’s bar, things take an unexpectedly dark and dangerous turn.
While we don’t know which episode Steven will first appear, we can expect it sooner rather than later. The cast has only been filming for a week and Steven’s already been spotted on set!
