Everything We Know About Legacies Season 5's Canceled Story Plans
The Vampire Diaries spinoff Legacies was canceled after season 4 and since then, quite a bit has come out about Legacies season 5's canceled story plans. The second TVD spinoff after The Originals, Legacies was decidedly different in tone and focus. Instead of focusing on adults playing teenagers–or just adults–Legacies' cast skewed decidedly younger. The tone was much lighter and campier, with the story revolving around the students of the Salvatore School facing down a multitude of foes in a monster-of-the-week style setup.
Despite the fun change and promising start, Legacies was never quite embraced the way the other two series were. The show never quite seemed to find its footing, then lost a number of less die-hard Vampire Diaries and Originals audiences by being so disconnected from the wider universe for multiple seasons. Legacies season 4 started to rectify that, bringing back plenty of the Vampire Diaries lore it had ignored for the first three seasons, as well as cameos from beloved characters. Ratings continued to drop, however, and in the middle of the Warner Bros.-Discovery merger, the decision was made to cancel it following season 4.
