"The Vampire Diaries" spinoff "The Originals" is doing very well. Season 1 was well-received and it was no surprise that it was picked up for season 2. Now, due to the show's success, "The Originals" has landed a book series deal.
Media Bistro broke the news that Harlequin signed a deal with Alloy Entertainment's Josh Bank and Hayley Wagreich to write a three-book series for the hit CW TV show "The Originals." The editor of the book will be Margo Lipschultz.
The book series will feature new stories about the Mikaelson family, the original vampires. Wet Paint assumes that the Klaus will be the central figure in the books. It will hit the shelves on February 2015, April 2015 and June 2015. The release of the books is the same time that season 2 of "The Originals" will conclude.
Meanwhile, Wet Paint also confirmed that the majority of "The Originals" cast will appear at Comic-Con on July 25, Friday at 4:15 p.m. The cast members who will be sitting on the panel includes Joseph Morgan (Klaus), Daniel Gillies(Elijah), Phoebe Tonkin (Hayley), Charles Michael Davis (Marcel), Leah Pipes (Cami) and Danielle Campbell (Davina). Steven Krueger (Josh) and Claire Holt (Rebekah), who caused a stir when she left mid-season, will also appear as well as executive producers Julie Plec and Michael Narducci.
The cast of "The Vampire Diaries" will also sit on a panel at Comin-Con on Saturday afternoon. But before Comic-Con, there will be the Emmy's where CW received their first of two nominations this year.
"The Original" Season2 will air on October 6, Monday at 8 p.m. only on The CW.
