The Originals' Final Season Is Coming Earlier Than Expected
The CW's schedule shake-up is good news for Originals fans
The final season of The Originals is coming a little earlier than previously expected.
The CW announced a schedule shuffle on Friday, with The Originals moving from Fridays to Wednesdays for Season 5. That means the premiere will now happen on Wednesday, April 18 -- after Riverdale's highly-anticipated musical episode -- with Life Sentence moving to Fridays starting April 27.
Jane the Virgin's Season 4 finale will now air Friday, April 20 at 9/8c, and Dynasty's season finale will move to Friday, May 11 at 8/7c.
The final season of The Vampire Diaries' New Orleans-set spin-off will bring the long saga of the Mikaelsons to a close and give fans the Klaroline reunion they've always wanted.
The Originals Season 5 premieres Wednesday, April 18 at 9/8c on The CW, and will continue in that time slot for the rest of its run.
(Full disclosure: TV Guide is owned by CBS, one of The CW's parent companies.)
