"The Originals" season 4 is set to feature a five-year time jump from the previous season and will reportedly follow Hope as she rescues her Daddy Klaus.

According to reports, Hope, Klaus' daughter, will save him from the agonizing pain brought by the curse put on him in the season 3 finale. Considering this, fans can expect that Hope will already be a grownup in the upcoming season, with the combined powers of a witch, werewolf and vampire strong enough to rescue Klaus.

Other reports claim that Klaus will die in season 4. Rumor has it that "The Originals" will take a bow after the upcoming season since it will see the death of its lead character. However, some believe that Klaus will not die but will be able to outlive season 4, since his being an original hybrid will make it difficult for any villain to kill him. Also, fans believe that Hope and the entire Mikaelson clan will be able to save him from his ordeal.

There are speculations that if Klaus will outlive season 4, then the series will be renewed for another season. However, some reports say that after the upcoming season, the series will leave The CW and move to ABC.

As for its storyline, fans believe that season 4 will also focus on the love triangle between Klaus, Caroline and Stefan, although the creators of the series have yet to confirm that. The new season will also feature a new villain who holds a grudge against the clan.

"The Originals" season 4 is set to return in 2017.
