With the crazy first season ending with Hayley (Pheobe Tonkin) and Klaus (Joseph Morgan) finally meeting and ultimately giving up their baby Hope, viewers are more than excited for "The Originals" season 2 to start.
With previous reports of a darker new season, the Mikaelson siblings will face new threats right within their family.
Executive producer Julie Plec told TVLine that Klaus will be hunted down by his parents. The first season revealed that their powerful witch mother, Esther, is very much alive and well together with one of their missing brothers. The Mikaelson patriarch, on the other hand, was resurrected by Davina and will likely be used to track down the original hybrid.
Hayley, on the other hand, will have much to deal with and self-reflect on after turning into a hybrid herself. After losing her only child, she must also try to find her new self and keep her transformation as secret as possible from her tribe.
Hayley will definitely be going through a hard time, but will Elijah (Daniel Gillies) help her get through it?
Plec and co-executive producer Michael Narducci are more reserved about that.
"Elijah should be nervous about a lot of things. Elijah is going to go through some s--t this year at the beginning of the season," Plec revealed to E! News. "It's not going to be all puppy dogs and rainbows for him at all."
Any romantic connection between these two tormented souls will be challenged even more with Hayley "reconnecting" with her supposed betrothed. Jackson (Nathan Parsons) "will make his return about six episodes in."
Narducci also revealed that Davina will be making her move on Klaus this season, adding "She's got to figure out what her next move is. At the same time, everyone wants to know where she is, what she's up to, because not only does she have Mikael, she has the white oak stable."
The first trailer for "The Originals" season 2 will be shown at the San Diego Comic Con later this week.
Meanwhile, Plec and Narducci has released the title for "The Originals" season 2's premiere episode-"Rebirth"-which will be shown on Monday, October 6, 8PM on The CW.
