Definition
原班人马 is a fixed phrase (成语) meaning 'the original cast/team/crew' — it refers to the same group of people who worked together before, especially in film, theater, or project teams. The literal image is 'original squad and horses', but you use it to emphasize that no one has been replaced or swapped out. Common in contexts like 原班人马出演 ('the same cast performs') or 原班人马打造 ('created by the same team').
