Fall TV Preview: 'The Originals'

This fall, some of TV's favorite vampires will be finding a new home, as the Mikaelson clan from The Vampire Diaries moves to New Orleans for The CW's new show, The Originals, and ET sat down with two of the show’s stars.

Joseph Morgan, who's been bringing vampire/werewolf hybrid and true baddie Klaus to life on The Vampire Diaries for several seasons, says, "For me, I've always been a little unhealthily obsessed with the genre, so I felt like this was the chance of a lifetime."
