The spin-off's format will be set up in the April 25 episode, in which Klaus (Joseph Morgan) returns to the French Quarter of New Orleans, and meets up with his former (now evil) mentee Marcel (Davis.)

Executive Producer Julie Plec, who is also set to write the episode, is also spearheading the potential offshoot of DIARIES.

Should THE ORIGINALS be picked up for a full series, it would premiere next fall airing before or after DIARIES.

The Vampire Diaries airs Thursdays at 8/7c on The CW.
