The CW has released a number of images and a brand new promo trailer “New Rules” from The Originals season 2 premiere.

Entitled “Rebirth” the episode will see Klaus and Haley still suffering the aftereffects of having their daughter taken from them. However the loss has brought them closer together in their mutual desire for revenge.

Meanwhile, as Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) adjusts to her new Hybrid life, Klaus discovers his own powers have been diminished by the werewolves.

There’s a lot going on in these first look images (first shared by the CBS/CW owned TV Guide). Check them out for a glimpse at what we can expect from the premiere.

The Originals returns to the CW Monday, October 6 at 8/7c on The CW.

REBUILDING HOMES AND RECRUITING NEW FAMILY — After months of being holed up inside his compound, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) enlists the help of Elijah (Daniel Gillies) and Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) in plotting his revenge against the Guerrera werewolves, and vows to take down anyone who poses a threat to baby Hope’s existence.

Elijah watches helplessly as Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) spirals downward while mourning the loss of her daughter and struggling to adapt to her new hybrid status. Exiled by the Guerrera werewolves, who now control the French Quarter, Marcel is still reeling over the destruction of his vampire family, and attempts to rebuild his home with the help of Josh (guest star Steven Krueger).

Elsewhere, Cami (Leah Pipes), who is attempting to regain some normalcy in her life, seeks comfort in a surprising place.

Last, Davina (Danielle Campbell) continues her plan to use Mikael (guest star Sebastian Roche) against Klaus, but gets sidetracked when she meets the mysterious, yet charming Kaleb (guest star Daniel Sharman), who holds a few secrets of his own.

Lance Anderson directed the episode written by Marguerite MacIntyre & Julie Plec (#201).
