She also said that this show is all that she hoped The Vampire Diaries would be.
“It’s a world that keeps giving back creatively,” Julie said, via TV Guide. “This show is what The Vampire Diaries was before it became TVD. Everything I always thought TVD would be, I was able to circle back and bring to here.”
Legacies premieres on Thursday, October 25th @ 9PM ET/PT on The CW.
“We’re going to hear her and feel free a lot,” showrunner Julie Plec told EW. “I don’t know when we’ll see her. I, of course, would like to see her anytime. The door is open. But the girls are dealing with the fact that their mother, who has raised them, is a little absentee lately.”
So, what’s Caroline been up to since saying farewell to Klaus? “They believe she’s off on recruiting missions,” Julie shared about Caroline’s twin daughters. “Alaric knows she’s actually off doing other things that have to do with the long-term survival of their daughters. So the mystery of, where is Caroline, why isn’t she coming home for their birthday, that kind of thing is gonna be part of our story in the hopes that one day we’ll be able to walk to have her walk through the doors as well.”
“A lot of the supernatural beings that we’ll be opening our doors to are things you never would have seen on The Vampire Diaries,” Julie said as star Danielle Rose Russell added, “In our second episode, we have a very exciting new creature with a lot of CGI.”
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.”
Can you believe there’s only one episode of The Originals left before the series finale?!
When TV Guide asked the cast what they’ll miss most about their CW show, they all brought up their fans.
“This show wouldn’t have existed without you guys,” Joseph Morgan said. “You watched Vampire Diaries and you started putting all of these trailers online, making all these trailers for The Originals. I mean, you guys even named it… You took a couple of villains from that show and you decided you wanted a show about them, and I’m just so grateful we got to go on that journey with you, so thank you so much for that experience.”
“We really worked hard to tell great stories for you,” showrunner Julie Plec added, “And your passion and your enthusiasm and your total rage at me for saying the show was over means that it meant a lot to you, and I appreciate that.”
“Your love and your support and your kindness does not go unnoticed,” Claire Holt shared. “We talk about it all the time, and I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.”
The former Vampire Diaries actor tweeted where he’ll be on Thursday, July 19th at the convention, and his former EP followed up.
“Oh sh-t, really?!!! Do you stay through Saturday or are you in and out? I don’t get there until Friday,” Julie wrote.
The Originals and Roswell writer Carina Adly MacKenzie also got in on the conversation, writing, “He’s only there Wednesday and Thursday night, everything’s bad.”
Then Paul suggested that the girls should arrive early so they could all meet up, and Julie shot it down..

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s actually a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket!
There was a rocket launch that could be seen in the sky over California on Friday night (December 22), no one knew what was going on, and everyone took to social media to talk about it. Some joked it was Santa, and many went straight to aliens and UFOs.
“Wtf is in the sky…,” Zendaya wrote until she figured out what was going on. “Cause I was almost positive it was some UFO alien sh–… What in the Stranger Things…”
“Santa probably working with @SpaceX and @elonmusk,” Keegan Allen joked.
Cameron Dallas is highly convinced it’s aliens, “They already have a cover up lol if it don’t have a go pro I don’t believe them lmao.”
