Q: Is it true "The Originals" is being canceled?
Not quite -- it's more like an agreement. But the "Vampire Diaries" saga will continue.
"The Originals" was the hit spinoff of CW's even bigger hit teen drama "The Vampire Diaries." "The Originals" got a full five seasons in its own right, with the series finale airing just a couple of weeks ago.
Producer Julie Plec said that the network and the show's production team agreed to end it with the fifth season, adding that that kind of a deal is something most TV writers would envy.

It does seem a little surprising that Robin Williams, one of the most prominent comic actors of his generation, never appeared in the show that made use of just about every comic voice actor available (and quite a few non-comic actors to boot).
Of course, there's more than one way to appear in "The Simpsons." Though the show couldn't land him as a guest, the writers felt free to mention him in a couple of episodes.
