During the panel, Julie did confirm that we will find out what happened to Klaus and Elijah in the series finale of The Originals.

She also said that this show is all that she hoped The Vampire Diaries would be.

“It’s a world that keeps giving back creatively,” Julie said, via TV Guide. “This show is what The Vampire Diaries was before it became TVD. Everything I always thought TVD would be, I was able to circle back and bring to here.”

Legacies premieres on Thursday, October 25th @ 9PM ET/PT on The CW.

The promo pics for CW’s upcoming Legacies are finally here!

We’re getting our first look at Hope Mikaelson (Danielle Rose Russell) as she heads to school at The Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted, along with Josie and Lizzie Saltzman, who happen to be Caroline Forbes’ and Alaric’s (Matt Davis) twin daughters.

The series will center around the school as the young adults come of age in the most unconventional way possible, nurtured to be their best selves…in spite of their worst impulses.

As they fight to protect their secret, their town of Mystic Falls and eventually the world, they will have to rely on ancient folklore and tales to learn how to battle their far-reaching enemies.

Jenny Boyd and Kaylee Bryant star as Lizzie and Josie, with Quincy Fouse as MG, a high-energy vampire, newly-triggered werewolf Rafael Waithe played by Peyton Alex Smith; and Aria Shahghasemi as the mysterious Landon Kirby.

Danielle Rose Russell looks like she’s pondering life in this brand new still from her new series, Legacies.

During the Summer TCA Press Tour, the 18-year-old actress joined co-star Matt Davis and showrunner Julie Plec to talk about the new series and reveal that it will be unlike The Originals and The Vampire Diaries was in format.

Instead, Legacies will have a “monster of the week” format.

“There is definitely an overall big bad that we slowly hint at, but we’re doing something on this particular series that I have never done before, which is embracing, not always but often, a monster of the week,” Julie shared.

Danielle added, “It’s something we’ve been so, so excited talking about. We’re like, ‘This is what’s going to make our show different. This is what’s going to make our show so good!’”

Another thing discussed were Caroline and Alaric’s twins, Lizzie and Josie, who are Gemini witches and that makes them a target.

Caroline won’t be appearing in every episode, however, she will be on a mysterious mission regarding the “long term survival of [her] daughters.”

Legacies premieres in October on The CW.

In “When the Saints Go Marching In”, intent on saving Hope’s (Danielle Rose Russell) life, Klaus’ (Joseph Morgan) plan will change the lives of the Mikaelson family forever.

“Some of you will be happy, some sad, either way, I ask you to be kind & not spread hatred,” Danielle tweeted out to fans as the series finale approaches.

She adds, “We all worked so hard to tell this story, & have it live up to so much. I feel very grateful I got to play a little part in the Mikaelson story..but with every end, comes a new beginning!(;.”

The Originals airs TONIGHT, August 1st @ 9PM ET/PT on The CW.

The writer/executive producer of the show, along with the two stars, gave a first look at the new show during a panel that same day.

Legacies is the third installment of The Vampire Diaries story, following The Originals. Here’s a synopsis: “Legacies is a thrilling new drama that tells the story of the next generation of supernatural beings at The Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted, where 17-year-old Hope Mikaelson and others come of age in the most unconventional way possible, nurtured to be their best selves…in spite of their worst impulses…all under the watchful eye of headmaster Alaric Saltzman.”

Can you believe there’s only one episode of The Originals left before the series finale?!

When TV Guide asked the cast what they’ll miss most about their CW show, they all brought up their fans.

“This show wouldn’t have existed without you guys,” Joseph Morgan said. “You watched Vampire Diaries and you started putting all of these trailers online, making all these trailers for The Originals. I mean, you guys even named it… You took a couple of villains from that show and you decided you wanted a show about them, and I’m just so grateful we got to go on that journey with you, so thank you so much for that experience.”

“We really worked hard to tell great stories for you,” showrunner Julie Plec added, “And your passion and your enthusiasm and your total rage at me for saying the show was over means that it meant a lot to you, and I appreciate that.”

“Your love and your support and your kindness does not go unnoticed,” Claire Holt shared. “We talk about it all the time, and I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.”
