The Vampire Diaries spin-off series The Originals has found a new UK broadcasting home.
Following its previous UK release on Netflix, the entire series is available now to watch on All4 following the release of the main show on the service earlier this year.
The spin-off, which focuses on Vampire Diaries character Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan) and his family, originally ran for five seasons between 2013 and 2018.
Alongside Morgan, the series starred Daniel Gillies as Elijah, Claire Holt as Rebekah, Phoebe Tonkin as Hayley Marshall and Charles Michael Davis as Marcel Gerard.

The Vampire Diaries has also produced spin-off series Legacies, which focuses on Hope Mikaelson (Danielle Rose Russell) and is currently in its fourth season.
Last year, meanwhile, Morgan revealed that his character was only meant to appear in four episodes of The Vampire Diaries before The Originals emerged.
"When you sign on to be a series regular on most network television shows it's a six year contract," he told Tommy DiDario's Instagram Live show. "I signed that contract before I joined the show at all, so there was always potential after these four guest episodes to be a regular. In some ways, really, they could do whatever they wanted.
"But from the beginning it was always thought that Klaus would die at the end of season three. So I would come in at the end of season two, season three would be my big season of being this villain throughout the whole season and then the good guys would defeat me at the end of season three."

But it all turned out very differently, which Morgan said was purely down to the "passion" of fans and the fact he was enjoying playing the character so much.
Ultimately, The Originals spin-off fed into Morgan feeling Klaus didn't have "enough room to grow" in The Vampire Diaries.
The Originals and The Vampire Diaries are now streaming on All4 in the UK. Legacies airs on The CW in the US.
