'The Originals' season 4 release date, spoilers: Kol to severe ties with his family

(Facebook/cworiginals)Kol will make an important life decision in "The Originals" season 4.

Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic) has had enough of living with the rest of the Mikaelsons in the upcoming season of "The Originals." Will he be the next sibling to leave after Rebekah (Claire Holt)?

Showrunner Julie Plec recently talked with Entertainment Weekly about what's to come in the new installment, where the Originals are expected to come back more powerful than before, after Marcel's (Charles Michael Davis) revenge. Last season, Freya (Riley Voelkel) had no choice but to send their souls to a different dimension or else everyone would die. She, Kol, Rebekah and Elijah (Daniel Gillies) are now in a dreamscape, where they will be for several years until Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) can find a way to bring them back to life.

The EP specifically talked about Kol and his bonding with Rebekah, his only sibling who got to experience a life far away from the rest of the Mikaelsons. According to Plec, the two would share a nice talk about life and how difficult it is to be embroiled in the family's affairs.

Technically, both Kol and Rebekah had nothing to do with Davina's (Danielle Campbell) death, but because they were part of the family, Marcel felt they all needed to go. When they do get over this mess, will Kol decide to leave everything behind and make a life of his own, just like Rebekah? He will have to wait a little longer, though. The official teaser for season 4 shows that it will take years before Hayley can get a cure. By that time, baby Hope has grown up.

"Rebekah, like her siblings, has gotten caught up into the unified family takedown and spent five years in an alternate reality and is now back once again with that same choice she always has: What is my life supposed to be outside this crazy family.' Kol, interestingly enough, is asking himself those same questions. The two of them are going to bond in a way that we haven't gotten to see so much about what their future is in this family and how much of this crazy they're expected to live through," Plec explained.

"The Originals" season 4 is expected to return midseason next year.
