Those reports came out as a result of a recent interview with actor Ian Somerhalder, who plays Damon Salvatore on “The Vampire Diaries,” at the WalkerStalkerCon where he said that they have decided to do one last season for the popular TV series and do the story justice.
That’s in addition to the statement made by actress Kat Graham, who plays Bonnie Bennett in the series, that she will be leaving her character on the TV series after Season 8.
But executive producer Julie Plec believes that it is too early to say whether Season 8 is going to be the last for “The Vampire Diaries.”
In a recent interview, Plec said that she was so happy to get Season 8 for the show that even the idea of Season 9 is so far away. She admits that she has not even started thinking about it.
She nonetheless acknowledged the recent statements by some of the actors of the show about the TV series wrapping up after eight seasons.
Plec said that she wishes Kat Graham everything she wants and she can stay on the show as long as she wants, if they are given the opportunity to go beyond Season 8.
They should continue the show even after season 8 with bonnie and enzo. Their chemistry is off the chart. They alone can the the show to new level. The brothers storyline has fallen.
