'Vampire Diaries' Bosses Tease Last Season: 'Things Are Final Now'

Check out the episode stills for the upcoming season eight premiere of The Vampire Diaries!

Co-creator Kevin Williamson and executive producer Julie Plec recently opened up about the last season.

“Things are final now,” Kevin told EW. “Decisions are being made. People’s lives are hanging in the balance. Relationships hang in the balance. Who’s going to end up with whom?”

Julie said, “Fans are always talking about endgame as though endgame has been chosen from minute 1. I don’t know that you could talk to a single series creator that would say confidently ‘Where I started is where I finished and there was no way in hell I was going to stray from that path.’ Dawson’s [Creek] being the perfect example.”

“You have to be open to change and be able to evolve and keep an open mind, because the next idea may be the best one,” Kevin added.

The Vampire Diaries premieres on Friday, October 21 @ 8PM on The CW.
