Legacies Series Finale Includes Vampire Diaries Surprises, Says Creator
Julie Plec, the creator of Legacies,reveals that the series finale will feature plenty of surprises from the world of The Vampire Diaries. The Vampire Diaries, which Plec co-created with Scream scribe and Dawson's Creek creator Kevin Williamson, was an adaptation of the L.J. Smith young adult novels of the same name. The series, which follows a high school girl and a pair of undead vampire brothers, ran for eight seasons and was massively popular, making stars of its leads Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, and Paul Wesley. The series spawned two prequel spinoffs; The Originals, which ran from 2013 through 2018, and Legacies, which follows an academy for the supernaturally gifted and began airing in 2018. Legacies is currently airing season 4, with its finale set to premiere on June 16, 2022.
