Legacies ~  

💔🩸For the first time in 13 years, there won't be a Vampire Diaries show on the air🩸💔

 The CW’s Vampire Diaries franchise concludes the series comes to an end after four seasons, one season less than fellow
'TVD' spinoff The Originals

 "There will not be a fifth season for Legacies. The CW has canceled The Originals spinoff from Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries), Warner Bros. TV and CBS Studios, after four seasons. Legacies was on the bubble, but had a slight edge due to its ties to one of the CW’s signature series, The Vampire Diaries, but ultimately the CW decided not to go forward with another season as the network has been making some tough calls as it prepares for a sale. The June 16 Season 4 finale will now serve as the series finale.

Following The Originals, Plec and company launched Legacies, which spun off the Originals character of Hope Mikaelson (Danielle Rose Russell) and followed her as she attended the Salvatore School that was created in the Vampire Diaries series finale. So on Thursday, when it was revealed that Legacies would end after four seasons,

~ it marked the end of not just a show, but rather a universe ~

Looking at the current television landscape, it's important to note how impressive the Vampire Diaries universe is. Not many shows can create a spin-off that's both unique and complementary, that can both stand on its own while also adding value to the established universe. Not many shows can then spawn another spin-off that delivers something entirely new, as Legacies offered a more lighthearted monster-of-the-week approach to telling supernatural stories. And yet all three shows blended together seamlessly

Now, with Legacies' June 16 finale, fans will really have to say goodbye to Mystic Falls, a place many have visited once a week for the past 13 years. It's the place where Elena first bumped into
  Stefan (Paul Wesley) in the hallway. It's the place where
  Damon (Ian Somerhalder) first told Elena he loved her (and then compelled it away… and then told her again). It's the place where Bonnie (Kat Graham) became a powerful witch,
  Caroline (Candice King) became the best vampire ever, and Katherine Pierce (also played by Dobrev) stole all our hearts (and ripped out a few others). It's the place that launched countless epic moments, from declarations of love to Elijah (Daniel Gilles) saying, "I believe the term you're searching for is OMG." It's the place where
  Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan) rediscovered the power of family, and where his daughter grew into a powerful tribrid.
  For a lot of fans, it's a second home

But at least we can walk away knowing that the
 Vampire Diaries universe did the opposite of kill the genre. Instead, it showed us all how it could be improved upon. We'll miss it, but thankfully we'll keep the memories. And as Stefan once said,
the memories are "too important" to lose"
