Considering that The Originals is a spin-off of The Vampire Diaries and exists in the same universe, it doesn’t seem all that hard for the shows to cross over every once in a while. But as executive producer Julie Plec mentioned at Comic-Con, it’s harder than fans might think. Not only do the stories have to come together in a natural way, but the logistics of getting an actor (or two) from one show to another isn’t the simplest task.
《初代吸血鬼》是《吸血鬼日記》的衍生劇，而且兩部劇的劇情都處在同一大背景下，所以想讓兩部劇出現(xiàn)串劇情節(jié)似乎不是那么難。但是同時擔(dān)任這兩部劇制片人的Julie Plec在圣地亞哥動漫展上表示，想讓串劇成功發(fā)生重要做的工作比粉絲們的想象中要困哪得多。因為這不僅需要劇情很自然的過渡到串劇情節(jié)，而且想讓某個或者兩個演員從一部劇去到另一部劇，在后勤上都不是那么簡單的事情。

That being said, the two shows did manage a total of two crossovers last season—one when Tyler came to The Originals and another when Klaus and Rebekah made an appearance in Mystic Falls during TVD‘s 100th hour. And the good news is that it looks like the stories are going to converge again this year.
說起來，這兩部劇在上一季就出現(xiàn)過串劇的劇情——當(dāng)時《吸血鬼日記》的Tyler出現(xiàn)在《初代吸血鬼》中，之后《初代吸血鬼》的Klaus和Rebekah也出現(xiàn)在《吸血鬼日記》第一百集中。好消息是，這樣的串劇今年似乎還將繼續(xù)發(fā)生。

Plec revealed that, as of right now, there is a crossover in the works. “It looks like we are going to be able to do a crossover in the first half of the season, and I can’t tell you what or who or when because it hasn’t been shot yet, but things are looking good,” she said.
Plec透露，這樣的串劇正在籌備中?！皬默F(xiàn)在的情況看來，新季的上半季中可能就會有串劇，不過我現(xiàn)在還不能告訴大家串劇的是誰、串劇什么時候發(fā)生，因為現(xiàn)在一切都還沒有定，不過一切進展都很順利，”她說。

The Vampire Diaries returns for its sixth season on Thursday, Oct. 2 at 8 p.m., ET with The Originals returning for its second season on Monday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. ET, both on The CW.
