At the weekend of the first annual Barbara Berlanti Heroes Gala benefiting F Cancer, Meaww spoke with the queen of all things ‘The Vampire Diaries,’ Julie Plec. Plec first created ‘The Vampire Diaries’ in 2009 which aired on The CW for 8 seasons. During the show’s third season, its first spin-off was born, ‘The Originals’, which ran for five seasons. 

‘The Vampires Diaries’ and ‘The Originals’ both received critical acclaim and became worldwide phenomena. Before ‘The Originals’ fifth season premiered, fans knew ahead of time it would be its last and were thrilled to hear there would be a third spin-off called ‘Legacies’. Plec made TV history being able to pull off having a television series to have not one, but two spin-offs.
