Vampire Diaries successfully finished its eight seasons in March 2017 which also marked a painful end to our favorite teen drama supernational series. Starring Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder in lead, the series enjoyed an impressive fan following across the globe. Its first episode on CW captured the attention of over 3 million viewers. Well, that was just the beginning as you will agree that the series is nothing ordinary because of its handsome vampires and riveting stories. Vampire Diaries introduced the audiences to Mystic Falls, a town known for its eerie history with supernatural forces. The series first made its appearance in 2009 and brought one season every year till 2017. Although there is no possibility for a season 9 of Vampire Diaries, still the die-hard fans are willing to accept the fact that Vampire Diaries has drawn to a close. So, why did Vampire Diaries season 9 is never happening? Read on to find out the answer.
In 2015, Nina Dobrev who essays the character of Elena Gilbert took to Instagram to announce her exist from the series after its sixth installment. Julie Pec, the series creator was supportive of Dobrev’s decision as she understood that Dobrev wants to explore more, and spread her wings. Julie told that she supports Dobrev a thousandfold. However, Dobrev’s department from the show cannot be said to be the sole reason behind Julie’s decision to end the popular show.
When asked about it, Julie said that she had to consider a lot of things before deciding the fate of the series like logistics. And she thought it was the ideal time to pull the trigger. Julie added that when you tell stories to audiences, you must also know how to lead the characters to the conclusion otherwise there is no point in starting it in the first place. Additionally, reports claim that the decline in viewership number is also a reason why the showrunners could not continue the series. But that does not make us love it any less.
It’s been a long, long while since we saw the Salvatore brothers fighting off evil forces in the small town in Virginia. Season 8 of Vampire Diaries gave closure to every character’s story and left no loose threads hanging. It was a wholesome experience to see Elena Gilbert reuniting in the finale episode with Damon and Stefan one last time. Although there is no way to bring back the series, we have incredible memories of these cute-looking blood-suckers.
With that said, fans can stream its spin-off series, The Originals, and Legends, and try not to miss Vampire Diaries that badly. Even if you do, revisit the 171 episode series on a happy morning.
The Vampire Diaries will remain close to our hearts for many reasons. Though its spin-off series exits and might have exciting announcements on the way, nothing can take the place of Vampire Diaries. In case you have not already, you can catch the special episode ‘Forever Yours’ featuring cast members of all seasons sharing their experiences and TVD journeys.
