Joseph Morgan makes us put on our detective hats.
The actor who played Niklaus “Klaus” Mikaelson on The Vampire Diaries and its spin-off The originals, tweeted this seemingly harmless update on May 25: “First, I have not seen any cast from TVDU for years, at least not personally, I promise you. All this speculation is going to drive you crazy. Let go these nonsense theories about hidden codes, everyone knows that Klaus Mikaelson is dead. “
It seems straightforward enough, right? But take a closer look.
Every first letter of Joseph’s tweet spells a very important and tempting word, especially for fans of Vampire Diary universe: FINAL. Well, it’s just the fourth season finale off Originals spin off Legacies sent on June 16!
When people started putting the pieces together, Joseph responded with a video follow-up.
“Let the past be,” he said. “Everyone is so obsessed with hidden messages. Get all that out of your mind. And believe me. Can you do it? I hope so. Even just for a heartbeat. So we can find some kind of peace.”
Joseph thinks he’s smart! As you have probably already composed yourself, the first letter of each sentence spells the word INHERITANCE.
