The series premiere of The Originals will now debut on a special night and time on Thursday, October 3, 9:00-10:00 p.m. ET, the network announced today.

The following week, The Originals will then move to its regularly scheduled night and time Tuesday, October 8, 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET, followed by the Season 9 premiere of Supernatural, 9:00-10:00 P.M. ET, a week earlier than previously announced. An encore of The Originals second episode will air Thursday, October 10, 9:00-10:00 p.m. ET, again following an original episode of The Vampire Diaries.

The CW will launch the highly anticipated premiere of its Mary, Queen of Scots drama, Reign, on Thursday, October 17, 9:00-10:00 p.m. ET, a week later than previously announced, allowing for even more time and opportunity to promote the series.
