    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The casting for Klaus took so long that the character's introduction to the show had to be delayed. To replace Klaus in the episodes he was first meant to appear in, the character of Elijah was created. (Elijah is a creation of the show. Klaus is the only member of the Mikaelson family to have originated in the source books by L.J. Smith.)
    • Goofs
      Throughout out the series, it's clear that the actors/actresses portraying teenagers are actually in their 20s+. This is done as to not interfere with the schooling of real teenagers and to give the general viewing audience who are teenagers themselves someone they can look up to.
