‘The Originals’ Is Leaving Netflix: Where To Watch The Popular CW Drama Online

Netflix… how dare you. The Originals, the popular spinoff of The Vampire Diaries that aired for five seasons from 2013 to 2018 on The CW, is leaving Netflix. The last day to stream the series on the platform is Thursday, September 7.

Originally debuting as an episode of The Vampire Diaries in April of 2013 (Season 4, Episode 20: “The Originals”), Julie Plec’s beloved supernatural series was a hit with both critics and fans alike, currently boasting an impressive 84% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes. While The Originals will no longer be on Netflix, The Vampire Diaries is still streaming on both Max and Peacock. Small victories, I guess.
