"Daniel Gillies has claimed that The Originals will be &amp;quot;darker&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;more adult&amp;quot; than The Vampire Diaries. The spinoff series will follow Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and his brother Elijah (Gillies) as they return to their old haunt of New Orleans.  &amp;quot;I think that it&amp;#039;s going to be a little darker [and] I think it&amp;#039;s going to be a little bit more adult,&amp;quot; Gillies told TVRage. &amp;quot;I mean [Joseph Morgan] and I are a bit older than the others. I think that carries with it its own kind of energy and naturally you have to write for that.&amp;quot;  The Originals will also feature &amp;quot;a lot more enchantment and magic&amp;quot; as a result of its New Orleans setting, Gillies suggested. &amp;quot;I [also] think that we&amp;#039;re going to see a lot more warfare,&amp;quot; he teased. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s going to be a battle to reclaim this kingdom - a borderline mafia-type battle with Elijah and Klaus usurping their former kingdom.&amp;quot; The Originals will premiere on The CW on Tuesday, October 15, with the fifth season of The Vampire Diaries launching on Thursday, October 10. &amp;gt; Vampire Diaries Joseph Morgan Q&amp;amp;A: &amp;#039;The Originals is epic&amp;#039; Watch the trailer for The Originals below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
