had been forced to flee from their vengeful father. In their absence,
Klaus's protégé, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis),

and get back the city that once belonged to them. While doing that they
must also protect their city from a war brewing between vampires,
werewolves and witches. Over time new and old friendships are formed,
love is in the air, death surrounds them and most of all they learn more
about their own family past. The first season describes how Klaus's
mystical child is going to be born and speaks of the threats that the
family together must keep away from her. The second season deals with
the return of Klaus' parents, and the arrival of an aunt who threatens
the baby's life. The third season shows the Mikealsons facing a prophecy
that speaks of their downfall, and the first sired vampires who've
wanted revenge for a millennium. The fourth season jumps ahead five
years, with the Mikaelsons returning to NOLA, and a new, powerful, and
