As the entertainment source reports, t other actors set to star in the spinoff include Quincy Fouse, Jenny Boyd, Kaylee Bryant and Aria Shahghasemi—none of which made an appearance in The Originals.

CW president Mark Pedowitz previously talked more about the Hope-centric spinoff with The Originals and The Vampire Diaries creator Julie Plec, Variety reports.

“There’s been many conversations about the character Hope,” Pedowitz says. “Nothing has come out of it yet. Julie really wants to get the final season of The Originals done.”

This April, The Originals will air its fifth and final season on The CW, meaning we hope the spinoff will soon become a reality.
