'''Visuals:'''
*Opening Variant: On a {{color|peru|bronze}} background, four frame lines, mimicking the style of a camera shot, expand quickly. A blurred close up shot of the Starz logo appears, with "{{color|chocolate|'''ORIGINALS'''}}" below it. The blur disappears quickly and the logo focuses. A little lens blur appears. The camera frame expands and shrinks back to its normal size.
*Closing Variant: The focus from the opening variant is shown. In it, an even larger close up of the Starz logo is shown as it sways around the screen like a camera pan. The screen then flashes and "{{color|chocolate|'''ORIGINALS'''}}" appears. The text pans. The screen flashes again, and the logo zooms out in its fully formed position. The background flickers and the logo gives out a lens flare. The screen flashes one final time and the logo disappears.

Starz Originals is the production arm of the Starz network producing original series, formerly known as Starz Encore Entertainment until it was renamed to its current name in 2005 when Starz began to expand its original programming slate in order to compete with rivals Showtime and HBO, with the inclusion of scripted series.

The letters of the word "ORIGINALS" fly onto the screen, and the blue streaks disappear, leaving behind the word "ORIGINALS" with a blue aura behind it.
