‘The Originals’ Season 3 Puts The Mikaelsons In Harm’s Way [Video]
By now, most fans of The Originals know that the coming season will deal heavily with the Trinity, which is essentially the children of the three surviving Mikaelsons: Klaus (Joseph Morgan), Elijah (Daniel Gillies), and Rebekah (Claire Holt). Those first three vampires, each one having been sired by one of the Mikaelsons, will be coming in search of their lineage, which will lead to some new flashbacks as only The Originals can do, according to Entertainment Weekly.
“One of the stories that we’re telling is that first 10 years of being a vampire after [the Originals] fled their raging father and their mother, and how they became the cultured, posh, fascinating people that they are today,” showrunner Julie Plec said. “And that’s how we introduce the Trinity: through that flashback storyline.”
For fans of Claire Holt, there can be no better news. The Originals will use the flashback sequences to bring Ms. Holt back, as Rebekah’s past is delved into more deeply.
“We’ll actually be seeing quite a lot of Claire in the beginning of the season in flashbacks,” The Originals E.P. said. “We’ll see which of the three she sired and how that all went down and then we will come find [Rebekah] in present day, where she realizes she’s in as much danger from the other sire lines as her brothers are.”
The Trinity, played by Rebecca Breeds, Oliver Ackland, and Andrew Lees, will come between the Mikaelson siblings and, according to The Originals showrunner, that’s something easily done under the current circumstances.
“With Elijah and Klaus already being a bit frayed in their relationship, there is room for these new people to try to get in between them,” Ms. Plec said. “And Elijah’s point is, ‘Maybe they should get between us because every time I’ve stood by you it has failed spectacularly.'”

Meanwhile, another threat looms over the heads of The Originals‘ Mikaelson clan in the form of Davina Claire (Danielle Campbell).
“Davina 100 percent hates the Mikaelsons and has made this rule as we get to the top of the season where no witch in town is allowed to help a Mikaelson with anything, which of course, is an annoying thorn in Klaus’ side and also proving to make helping Hayley very difficult,” The Originals‘ Plec said. “But Davina is very quickly going to step in it a little bit where she is going to find that there are consequences to the things you do when you’re exercising the kind of power that she has, and she’s going to get herself into a bit of a bind and need bailing out. And it’s hard to call for favors when you’ve been denying everybody theirs.”
The Originals season premiere is scheduled to air on Thursday, October 8 on CW.
