How The Vampire Diaries Spin-Off Ended & Where Can You Watch It

With all five seasons of "The Originals" streaming on Netflix, you can indeed experience this part of the sprawling Mikaelson saga in its entirety on the platform. The streamer also has all four seasons of "The Originals" spin-off "Legacies," by the way. That makes it the place to get your melodramatic vampire kicks in the streaming realm, though you'll also need a subscription to Peacock if you want to add "The Vampire Diaries" to your binge.

Assuming you don't already have a subscription to Netflix, you do still have a few viable ways to bring the vampiric chaos of "The Originals" into your living room as the series in full is available through several video-on-demand providers. That list currently includes major players like iTunes, Prime Video, Vudu, and Google Play. Before you set about buying episodes, or even full seasons of "The Originals" through those channels, you should know it'll cost you a pretty penny. And yes, purchasing episodes at the going rate of $1.99 a pop will add up very quickly on a series that aired a total of 92. Ditto for a full season buy-in, which, as of this writing, will cost you a whopping $24.99 per on those platforms.

Yes, these days it's a little harder to love Netflix than it used to be. And far be it for us to tell you how to spend your money, but if you are hell-bent on binging "The Originals" anytime soon, it makes a lot of sense to seek it out on Netflix.
