The writer/executive producer of the show, along with the two stars, gave a first look at the new show during a panel that same day.
Legacies is the third installment of The Vampire Diaries story, following The Originals. Here’s a synopsis: “Legacies is a thrilling new drama that tells the story of the next generation of supernatural beings at The Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted, where 17-year-old Hope Mikaelson and others come of age in the most unconventional way possible, nurtured to be their best selves…in spite of their worst impulses…all under the watchful eye of headmaster Alaric Saltzman.”
During their panel, the cast unveiled the season two trailer, and revealed that Jordan Calloway has been upped to series regular, where he will reprise his role as Painkiller full time.
That same day, China, Christine, and Nafessa, and the guys stopped by the Pizza Hut Lounge where they posed for some photos together, as well as a big group pic. China and Damon also played a little Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for Nintendo Switch at the Variety Studio.
The following day, the cast stopped by Sirius XM’s Entertainment Weekly radio broadcast.
While exclusive footage from the upcoming 14th season was shown at the panel, we don’t get to see what was shown. We do however, get a highlight reel from last season. Check it out below!
The new season, which premieres October 10th, will see the show’s 300th episode, and will also have fewer episodes than normal.
During the panel, the cast talked up the upcoming third season, and even shared a sneak peek video!
It was also announced that Penelope Ann Miller has joined the cast as District Attorney Ms. Wright, who is the “savvy, eloquent, prosecuting attorney in charge of handling Archie’s case. With a conviction in mind, she will weave together disparate moments of Archie’s young life to portray him as a dangerous, violent sociopath who is capable of committing a heinous crime.”
FYI: Jessica is wearing an Elisabetta Franchi top and skirt, Christian Louboutin shoes, Joan Hornig earrings and rings from EFFY Jewelry, Ben Bridge, and Graziela Gems. Candice is wearing a Jay Godfrey dress and Loriblu shoes.
