Plec also said that it is also their way of toasting the success of both shows and also as a gift to their huge fanbase. She also confirmed that nobody in the network is requiring them to do the crossover between “The Vampire Diaries” and “The Originals.” She says that the production team and the cast members of both shows just feel that it is fun to find small and organic ways to just do it.
While The CW has not yet announced the official air date for the Season 8 of “The Vampire Diaries,” most fans of the TV series know that it would happen in the fall, the way it did over the last seven years.
The reports that Season 8 of “The Vampire Diaries” is going to be the show’s swan song started swirling as early as April when actor Ian Somerhalder said during the WalkerStalkerCon 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 earlier 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 Plec believes that it was too early to say at that time whether Season 8 is going to be the last for “The Vampire Diaries.” The latest indicators flooding the internet, however, all point to the direction that Season 8 would the swan song of the TV series.
