The Originals' Julie Plec Reveals Hayley's Friends With Benefits | SDCC 2017 | Entertainment Weekly

Joseph Morgan - along with costars Charles Michael Davis, Daniel Gillies, Phoebe Tonkin, Riley Voelkel, and Yusuf Gatewood - joined showrunner Julie Plec in EW’s Comic-Con suite to talk all about season 5, from Klaus killing “loads of people” to the fact that Hope will have a boy in her life now that she’s 15.

With one season left, The Originals is jumping ahead eight years to see a teenage Hope and a Klaus that’s “gone crazy” without his family, according to Morgan.
Speaking of boys, Plec reveals that “Hayley’s got a friend with benefits,” she says.”Hayley’s getting some.” (Specifically, that man’s name is Declan and he’s Irish.)
If that’s not enough scoop, Plec also speaks about Candice King’s time on the show and the role she plays in Klaus’ life. “She’s just got so much life in her,” Plec says. “She just brings the spirits up of people around her. There’s just something great about watching Caroline call Klaus on his s-.” (Translation: Expect Caroline to tell Klaus to get over himself.)
In terms of timeline, Plec reveals the entire season will take place during Mardi Gras, “from kickoff to the Jesus bits,” as she puts it.
And it all begins when season 5 premieres in 2018. Watch the interview above.
