As of yesterday, the news broke thatThe Originalswill be returning next year in midseason.

Mid-season is one of those annoyingly aspecific designations that could mean any time between January and April.

The connection usually announces their winter schedule in November-ish.

Stay tuned for news.

I dont mind midseason in theory.

Because you have TIME.

Extra time to write because youre not shooting 22.

Extra time to think.

Time to ensure each episode is excellent.

Time to fix it if it isnt.

Getting a season 4 pick-up means youve done it.

Your show will live on.

Your studio bosses will eventually see a profit.

You did not fail.
