‘The Originals’ season 3 spoilers: First details all about ‘For the Next Millennium’

Originals -Season 3 of “The Originals” has made it fairly clear for some time that it plans to explore more of the early days of its characters as vampires, and you will see the show not wait too much time with that courtesy of the upcoming premiere episode “For the Next Millennium.” In this hour, you will get a chance to see more of the earlier days of Klaus and company, while at the same time see some of their hardships in the present as they start to unwind with what happened with Dahlia.

Specifically, the synopsis below chooses to focus primarily on the events of the present, and you learn a little bit about everything from a dangerous criminal being out there to some human struggles:

“Months following their violent and deadly showdown with the powerful witch Dahlia, a rift continues to divide brothers Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Elijah (Daniel Gillies), while Freya (Riley Voekel) searches for a way to heal their fractured bond and return their family to the way they once were. Meanwhile, Klaus’ suspicion piques when he learns that an old vampire friend named Lucien (guest star Andrew Lees) has arrived to New Orleans with a mysterious agenda involving the Mikaelson’s remaining sire lines. Elsewhere, Elijah questions whether he can truly forgive his brother for his mounting offenses, while Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) struggles with being cursed to her wolf form in the bayou. In the French Quarter, Vincent (Yusuf Gatewood) and Cami (Leah Pipes) assist Detective Kinney (guest star Jason Dohring) after a series of gruesome discoveries are made, leading them to believe they may have a serial killer on the loose. Finally, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), who has regained control of the French Quarter once again, tries a new strategy to recruit vampires, while Davina (Danielle Campbell), who is now Regent to the New Orleans witches, makes a decision that will find her and Marcel on opposite sides of an escalating conflict.”

Clearly, there is so much going on at the moment in the present that there is not even that much of a need to focus on things in the past, which is increasingly impressive the more that you think about it. This is a show that despite having a pretty fluid cast from time to time with new people being added, still manages to give you a variety of complex, thought-provoking stories that question these characters and their loyalties.
