For CW President Mark Pedowitz, spinning off a show from his network’s biggest hit was a no-brainer.

The pilot, which will air as an episode of The Vampire Diaries on April 25, will focus on Joseph Morgan‘s Klaus and the members of the Original Family of vampires in New Orleans. “Klaus was the founding father of New Orleans, and the show is set in that venue,” Pedowitz said. “Klaus is just a great character and the Original Family has such dysfunctional family dynamics.
