Telly’s Take
Although it premiered with decent numbers for a show on the littlest network, there’s no need to use the ratings to predict whether The CW will cancel or renew The Originals for season six. Back in July of 2017, executive producer Julie Plec announced the fifth season would serve as the show’s final installment. Subscribe for free The Originals cancellation or renewal alerts.
