The Originals cancelled after Season 4? Fresh from renewing seven shows today, CW president Mark Pedowitz admitted that the future of The Originals is up in the air, with hopes of a fifth season dependent on its Season 4 ratings, per EW:
“Julie [Plec] and I spoke ahead of time about this. The Originals has not yet premiered for the season. It’ll probably be a discussion in May. I’m a big Julie Plec fan. I’m hoping The Originals will continue. A lot of it will depend on performance.”
Will The Originals get the ratings it needs for Season 5? Or will the series follow The Vampire Diaries into the cancellation graveyard? Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the cancel/renew status of The Originals…

No faith in Mark Pedowitz as the head of CE. The Originals continuing is based on ratings but in the past he chose series that had worse ratings than the series he cancelled. I guess it depends on what excuse is convenient for him.

I agree. I watch The Originals and the Vampire Diaries. I wonder if they need more Writers if they think they are not getting the ratings. This is not the only shows I watch they have terminated.
