The Vampire Diaries is ending after eight seasons. That much was revealed at the San Diego Comic-Con panel for the show. The CW lifted the lid on a beautiful video that had the cast saying their goodbyes to the fans that have stuck with the show through it all.
We also got word that Kevin Williamson has been back in the writers room. He made it clear that the show will always be dear to him.
“I’ve never been too far away. … As Julie and I sat down to write the first episode of Season 8 together, I was freaking out. … Julie was like, ‘You write all the Damon stuff.’ It came back pretty quickly, and I think we’ve got a great Season 8 planned out. It’s really nice to live in this world again.”
Williamson was responsible for the show when it was on top creatively. The last few seasons have suffered a downturn in quality.
Julie Plec shared very few details about the final big bad of the series.
“The villain has a finger so far. … It’s a new take on villains for us. It’s rooted back all the way to ancient times.”
Williamson chimed in with his take on this new villain, noting that it's a “cool way to infuse Mystic Falls with this ultimate evil. It’s like a cherry on top of the entire mythology of Mystic Falls.”
It all sounds very apocalyptic and we can't wait to see how this new villains comes together.
Will she be able to match the greatness of both Klaus and Kai?
Ian Somerhalder let us in on the news that Damon and Enzo would be "doing some gnarly s–t,” adding that “the mind control thing is actually quite interesting. … In their minds, they’re still them. That conflict and that struggle is what we always look for.”
Kat Graham also revealed that Bonnie will be struggling in the aftermath of losing her magic. Will that be the main conflict for Bonnie of the final season?
We don't know for sure. Her boyfriend, Enzo is off with Damon doing some pretty crazy stuff.
Finally, we got word that Caroline Forbes will be very busy trying to keep a connection to Alaric while raising the twins. She'll also join forces with Stefan and Bonnie to locate Damon and Enzo.
