The Vampire Diaries Season 8

In May 2016, the final 22nd episode of the seventh season of "The Vampire Diaries" will be released on The CW channel. The question of whether the eighth part of the supernatural show will be filmed and when it will be aired has become quite an exciting issue for fans, as the actress playing the main role, Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert in the series), announced that she is leaving the project.

In an interview from March 11, 2016, the director of The CW television network, Mark Pedowitz, announced that the TV series "The Vampire Diaries" is being renewed for an eighth season. The premiere of the first episode of the new season has been postponed until October 2016. The new season of the series will consist of 22 episodes and may very well be the final season.

What will happen in Season 8

The entire previous season for the Salvatore family was marked by a struggle against the vampire Julian. Turned in the early 15th century, he had been involved with Lily for over 150 years. He was killed in 1903, and his soul was trapped in the Phoenix Stone, where he had to endure punishment. In the fourth episode titled "Your Heart Takes Me With It," he was resurrected and began committing villainous acts against the Salvatore family. But the family will face even more demons in the upcoming episodes, as the writers are preparing new characters who will appear at the beginning of the season. The fight for control over the town of Mystic Falls in Virginia will continue...

In the past seven seasons of "The Vampire Diaries," The CW network has lost nearly half of its ratings. Despite this, the show will continue for at least a ninth season, as announced by the creators of the project. Moreover, the author of the book series on which the project is based, Lisa Smith, continues to release new novels, so there is still plenty of material for the storyline.

If everything goes well, the premiere of the eighth season of the vampire saga can be expected on Thursday, October 6, 2016. Perhaps we will have another 22 captivating episodes about the Salvatore family in Mystic Falls. In case the cable channel The CW decides to give up on this franchise, there is no need to be disappointed, as we are promised a spin-off titled "The Originals," planned for the next couple of years.
