tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/more-tv-news/the-originals-and-izombie-renewed-at-the-cw-for-2017-18/twitter.com/julieplectwitter.com/MichaelNarducciDefying the odds and probably some sore personal egos, The Originals has been renewed for its fifth season. What does this mean besides we get another year of our favourite family and that the way things are we'll get an actual final season announcement? Mark Pedowitz either left his ego at the door or was forced to by the show's performance and refusal to die because a renewal in these circumstances is because a show made a compelling case for renewal that overrode the network's personal bias coupled with the sheer failure of the 2016-2017 first season shows. It's good for iZombie as well but The Originals has more than proven itself. Also all contracts come back into force- and the CW's panic to FOX over the table read was more than likely their realization they were looking down a bad schedule and needed to renew The Originals but held off as long as they possibly could and couldn't afford the show's ratings to be harmed. I think they had to give The Originals a fair assessment this season which is why the TV By the Numbers prediction was proven right as they judge renewal odds by logic and not favouritism.

That's great news! I honestly wasn't expecting it, and I kind of felt like the cast didn't expect it either.
Will it be another 13 episode run? I hope so, since it's been doing wonders for this season.

Just saw this. One of the few instances when I'm happy to be wrong.

Yes! CW ordered a lot of new shows but midseason seems to work for us. "Thus far this season The Originals is averaging 980,000 total viewers and a 0.3 rating, up in audience versus Season 3 but down a tick in the demo (where it matches the recently axed Frequency and No Tomorrow and bests Reign and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend)." TVLine.

Great news. I had kinda lost hope for season 5. I hope we get full season but I will take whatever. Love every minute with my favorite family.

Great news! Personally, I'm fine with shorter seasons. Less convolution and filler.
