Amidst the reports that the latest season of the hit supernatural television series "The Originals" would be moved to a different release date, fans are still hopeful that the shift would mean that writers will have more time to come up with a truly spectacular new season. Despite the delay, rumor reports are still becoming more and more prominent as the latest season promises to be the best one yet.

According to the latest reports, "The Originals" season 4 will apparently be moved to a new release date and will likely be airing sometime in January or February of next year. The delayed release will reportedly be a good thing for the show as the writers and the actors from its parent show — "The Vampire Diaries" — will be able to fully focus on the series when it comes out.

The series' showrunner — Julie Plec — also expressed the same sentiments and revealed that the move will be an advantage to the show as a whole. The timelines for both "The Originals" and "The Vampire Diaries" are already in sync, which means that having a separate release date for "The Originals" will allow for more focus on specific events that will transpire within the show's new season.

As for the latest rumors regarding the events that will be happening in the new season, it is alleged that Caroline (played by Candice Accola) will be playing a big role in the next season. She will apparently be the only one that will be able to save Klaus (played by Joseph Morgan) from the curse of the Tunde Blade. Reports have revealed that Caroline will be visiting New Orleans in order to help Klaus with his dilemma.

Several reports have also revealed that a new villain may be coming to New Orleans, and that he or she may be someone that Klaus already knows. Reports have revealed that the villain will be out for revenge for something Klaus did in the past.
