Disney Announces Animated ‘The Originals’ Series with Joseph Morgan Voicing Klaus Mikaelson in a Magical New Take This Fall!”
In a stunning reveal, Disney has announced an animated adaptation of the beloved supernatural series The Originals, set to premiere this Fall. Titled The Originals: A Magical New Tale, the series promises a fresh, family-friendly spin on the gritty vampire saga, with Joseph Morgan reprising his iconic role as Klaus Mikaelson—this time as a voice actor. The news has sent shockwaves through the fanbase, igniting excitement and curiosity about how Disney will reimagine the dark, complex world of the Mikaelson family.
Set in a vibrant, animated version of New Orleans, the series will follow Klaus and his siblings—Elijah, Rebekah, and Freya—as they navigate magical challenges in a whimsical yet mystical realm. Marcel, a fan-favorite, will also feature prominently, with his dynamic with Klaus teased to take on a lighter, more adventurous tone. Disney’s animation style blends their signature polished look with a supernatural edge, incorporating glowing magical effects, starry night skies, and subtle nods to the show’s lore like crescent moons and werewolf silhouettes.
Morgan expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “Returning to Klaus in this magical new format is a dream come true. I can’t wait for fans to see this enchanting take.” The series aims to balance the original’s dramatic essence with Disney’s charm, appealing to both longtime viewers and younger audiences. While some fans on X have voiced skepticism about Disney’s family-friendly approach to the mature themes of The Originals, others are thrilled by the creative direction. With Morgan’s voice anchoring the project, this animated venture could redefine the Mikaelson legacy for a new generation.
