The season starts with Damon and Bonnie gone and presumed dead. Elena, in a pretty spectacular attempt to hide from pain and heartbreak, has Alaric compel all of her memories of Damon away. He does come back (TVD without Damon is no show of mine) and they reunite, but it takes a while for the beautiful and tragic memories to come back. More on that soon...
He comes back from the dead (thanks Bonnie) but is still a mega-vampire (thus compelling the memories). He falls in love, gets killed (sort of), then comes back but this time as a human. Yeah, he had a pretty big season.
You probably already know that Nina Dobrev left TVD at the end of this season, but at least she had a really beautiful goodbye. Kai, evil genius that he is, linked Elena and Bonnie so that Elena will be in a sleeping-beauty like state until Bonnie dies. There was a second there where it looked like Damon was going to kill Bonnie to get Elena back... but in reality he is just going to wait 60 years for her until they can be together. Swoon.
The Vampire Diaries originally aired on The CW, telling the tale of the love triangle between Elena (played by Nina Dobrev), Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder). Unfortunately, the series came to an end following eight seasons four years. This is when Netflix then stepped in and added the drama to its library of content in 2013.
When The Vampire Diaries was taken down from the media platform, one subscriber said: "Netflix really did look at 2020 and go what could make this worse?? and decided the vampire diaries could be removed."
A second said: Just found out Netflix are removing the vampire diaries next month.

V Wars season 2 Netflix release date: Will there be another series? [RELEASE DATE]
Get ready to say goodbye, Vampire Diaries fans. The end of the popular vampire show is here and after eight long seasons of doppelgngers, vampires, ghosts, witches, and more, it doesn't seem real that it's actually coming to a close. But, unfortunately, it is. Thankfully, for those who just can't let go, you can rewatch every season online, but when will The Vampire Diaries Season 8 be on Netflix? Fans won't have to wait long to relive the final season.
Thanks to the latest deal Netflix signed with The CW last year, all The CW's shows will release their entire season on the streaming service eight days after their season finale airs. Therefore, The Vampire Diaries' last season will be available for streaming on Netflix as early as Saturday, March 18. So for those of you who missed this final season or the past few seasons or never watched the series at all, you'll be able to binge-watch the entire series very soon.
The Vampire Diaries began airing in 2009 when vampires were all the rage. From Twilight to True Blood, TVD fit right in with the vampire book series adaptation phenomenon that hit in the early 2000s and the show stayed popular for many, many years. It even inspired the spin-off series The Originals, which will begin it's fourth season on Friday, March 17, taking up The Vampire Diaries vacated time slot.
When The Vampire Diaries began, it was all about Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) who soon realized her small hometown of Mystic Falls wasn't as safe as she always believed it was. After the death of her parents, she found comfort in Stefan Salvatore (Paul Weasley), but also ended up falling for his brother Damon (Ian Somerhalder), thus beginning one of television's most fought over love triangles.
Dobrev ended up leaving the series after the show's sixth season, but will return in the series finale. The show has changed a lot in the past eight years and the love triangle between Elena and the Salvatore brothers is now non-existent, thanks to Stefan now being fully in love with (and married to) Elena's best friend, Caroline Forbes (Candice King), and fine with Damon and Elena, also popularly known as "Delena," being together.
The only other remaining characters from the show's first season is Elena's other best friend and the town's resident (former) witch Bonnie Bennett (Kat Graham), Elena's first boyfriend Matt Donovan (Zach Roerig), and Elena's former teacher Alaric Saltzman (Matthew Davis), who's died and come back a few times throughout the series.
According to International Business Times, Elena's Aunt Jenna (Sara Canning), Tyler Lockwood (Michael Trevino), and Elena's little brother Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) will most likely return for the series finale as well. So as sad as it'll be to say goodbye to this show that has dominated many fans' lives for the past eight years, at least viewers can always return to Mystic Falls if they choose to by way of streaming.
While the first season definitely left viewers with a cliff-hanger, fans will be disappointed to hear nothing is confirmed (re: a second season) at this moment in time, according to Digital Spy. But the show's starring actor and executive producer, Ian Somerhalder, is apparently hoping to continue the story.
Additionally, the show is based on a graphic novel series, and so far, there are five graphic novels already written, so having another few seasons would make total sense. And really, with that cliff-hanger viewers were left with, there's bound to be more to the story.
"Ideally two for sure, I mean, three, four would be amazing. ... There hasn't been a set number of season. Jonathan's written many books, so there's a lot of room for a storyline and directions for the seasons. So I think that as long as the writing is there and the performances are there we have a good shot at going for a [renewal] anyway. I really hope so."
Here's the premise of V Wars, according to Meaww: Basically, Dr. Luther Swann (played by Ian Somerhalder) inadvertently revives a virus alongside his colleague, Michael Fayne (played Adrian Holmes), and although Luther isn't affected, Michael turns into a vampire, feeding on humans to survive. The virus spreads, and eventually, Michael becomes the leader of the vampires, called 'Blood Nation.'
Luther wants to make peace with the vampires, and to ultimately cure them of their disease. Since that doesn't seem easy, he comes up with a temporary solution, creating substance called 'BludSub.' With this, he makes things right with Michael. But in the season finale, the Bludsub is contaminated, affecting a significant portion of the vampire community. The vampires rebel, and the relationship between humans and vampires is ultimately tainted.
Calix Nikolos (played by Peter Outerbridge), initially seemed to take side with humans, but ends up being a traitor, eventually becoming leader of Blood Nation. Luther's son, Dez, gets kidnapped, and the episode ends with Mila (played by Laura Vandervoot) revealing she knows where Luther's son is, after four long months. This paves a clear path for a second season.
It turns out the two series have no correlation. The actor and producer told Collider he was initially hesitant about being involved with Netflix's new show, but with his producer title and the show's social relevance, they decided it would be a worth-while project.

Netflix has been a haven for fans of teenage vampire melodrama for years thanks to seasons of The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, and Legacies, and now the streamer is adding an original series to join the ranks. A young adult vampire drama is on the way with none other than horror veteran Emma Roberts on board, and Netflix has already given a series order.
The new vampire drama will be called First Kill, with Scream Queens and American Horror Story alum Emma Roberts set to executive produce, according to Variety. Based on a short story of the same name penned by Victoria Schwab, the show will see teen vampire Juliette preparing to take her place within a powerful vampire family, which requires her to make her first kill.
Unfortunately for Juliette, her chosen victim turns out to be a vampire hunter by the name of Calliope, who comes from a family of vampire slayers. Calliope is a new girl in town, but Juliette will discover that she's not going to be easy to kill, and Calliope won't have an easy time trying to take down Juliette either. In true teen vampire drama form, the animosity could turn into something steamier, as they realize it's "way too easy" to fall for each other.
First Kill received an order for eight episodes from Netflix. Victoria Schwab created the series and is on board as co-writer and executive producer, which presumably means that the series will have a similar tone and feel to the short story, even if an eight-episode season has to go beyond what happened in the story. Schwab's story was published back in September as part of a collection called Vampires Never Get Old: Tales with Fresh Bite.
The series order for the new vampire drama comes less than a year after Vampire Diaries alum Ian Somerhalder's Netflix vampire show was cancelled after running for only one season. To contrast, Legacies (which will return for Season 3 in 2021) along with ended series The Vampire Diaries and The Originals have seemingly done well on the streamer. Maybe Somerhalder's V-Wars didn't have enough teen love triangles!
Vampire Diaries fans who rely on Netflix for their fix of the series panicked earlier this year when it seemed all eight seasons would no longer be available, and Vampire Diaries/Originals/Legacies creator Julie Plec has revealed that Legacies was actually bringing in new fans of the previous series. Netflix hasn't announced when First Kill will begin production, let alone be ready to premiere, but Netflix does offer plenty of vampire action during the wait.
