The Original family has lived all over the world. Literally, after more than 1,000 years, they’ve probably visited every possible city in the world … or at least the interesting ones. But it’s New Orleans that they now call home. However, the show shoots in Georgia, on a series of numerous beautiful, impressively elaborate sets.

While EW was on set, Originals star Phoebe Tonkin took us on a quick set tour through the Mikaelson compound, Hayley’s new apartment, the wardrobe department, and more. Now’s your chance to get a behind-the-scenes look at how the show creates New Orleans every week.

The Originals airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.

They will always champion their ship of choice, as loudly as possible.

And one of the most vocal and loyal ship fanbases is “Klayley,” aka Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin). The two hybrids share a baby daughter Hope, but that’s about all they share at the moment after Klaus betrayed Hayley at the end of last season.
