TVLine reported Sunday from the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Pasadena, California that The CW President Mark Pedowitz said, "You will see, organically, a crossover this year."

"Not of the size and scope of we do with Arrow and Flash. They have to make sense [story-wise]," the network's president added.

The crossover will begin during the fourteenth episode of The Vampire Diaries this season, in which Paul Wesley's character Stefan is "in need of a mystical safe haven" according to executive producer Julie Plec.

"And as we've seen on The Originals, there is a bar called The St. James Infirmary, in which no magic can permeate. So he goes to seek refuge in New Orleans and comes face-to-face with Klaus Mikaelson [Joseph Morgan] because, of course, nothing happens in Klaus' town without Klaus knowing. I call it the reunion of the Bourbon buddies," Plec further dished.

Plus, Stefan will stick around to appear on The Originals since he'll "help" Klaus out with something that "has a direct impact on Stefan himself."

Sounds interesting, right?

The Vampire Diaries will return on its new night, Friday, January 29, 2016 at 8 p.m. ET.
