Fans of the “The Vampire Diaries” and “The Originals” could see another spinoff series heading to the CW Network. Series creator and executive producer Julie Plec talked about the possibility of having another supernatural spinoff series in an interview.

Plec admitted in an interview with Digital Spy that she considers the creation of another spinoff series following the success of “The Vampire Diaries” and its spinoff series “The Originals.” However, Plec thinks the third spinoff series will push through on the condition that the characters are compelling enough like the Mikaelson family.

The Original family got introduced in “The Vampire Diaries.” The Mikaelsons stayed in Mystic Falls for a couple of seasons as the show’s villains until Plec and her team decided to create the spinoff series “The Originals” set in New Orleans.

“I never would've thought that The Vampire Diaries would have a viable spinoff until I met the Originals,” Plec told Digital Spy. Plec explained that the creation of “The Originals” stemmed from the performance of the actors portraying the Original family.

“They were so good that we wrote more for them, and then they took up so much space that they earned their own series,” Plec further shared. For the third spinoff series, Plec thinks the Heretics, which is a pack of vampires with witch powers introduced in “The Vampire Diaries” Season 6, could be the main characters carrying their own show.

“I look at the casting of the Heretics and I think, 'Oh, they're interesting - could they be their own show?' - so it's one of those [where] we'll see,” Plec teased. However, Plec admitted she is uncertain she can handle another show under her sleeve since the new CW TV series “Containment” will be launched in 2016.

“I don't think I could actually do four shows - I'll be very honest about that,” Plec told Digital Spy.

Meanwhile, Plec attended the “Running the Show: The Women Executive Producers of The CW” panel at the Television Critics Association (TCA) tour on Tuesday to explain why she refrains from using sexual violence as a narrative device in her TV series. “For me it's always been about not wanting to,” Plec said in the Los Angeles Times report.

Plec admitted she has a rule but she already broke that rule a million times. As a fan watching TV, Plec explained that the show should never make a character alcoholic, raped or molested because their storyline becomes singularly about being a victim and the ability to write them as human beings will be lost due to the problem weighing over the TV character.
