“Legacies,” the supernatural drama series set in the “Vampire Diaries” universe, has been a captivating and spellbinding journey for fans of the genre. Legacies made its debut on The CW in 2018 as a spin-off of both “The Vampire Diaries” and “The Originals.”

The series is set in the fictional town of Mystic Falls, where supernatural creatures are a part of everyday life. It follows the lives of young witches, vampires, and werewolves as they navigate the challenges of their supernatural heritage while attending the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted.

The show is known for its blend of action, drama, romance, and humor, making it a favorite among fans of the supernatural genre. “Legacies” has garnered a dedicated fanbase that eagerly awaits each new season to see how the characters and their supernatural abilities evolve.

In this article, we will explore the release date for “Legacies” Season 5 and what fans can expect from the next installment of the series.

Is Legacies Season 5 Cancelled?

The CW announced the cancellation of the show in May 2022, and fans went insane, using Twitter as a therapeutic, secure forum to express their outrage.

Fans were the only ones who were saddened by the loss of Legacies. It appears that its creative crew was similarly unwilling to let go.

Julie Plec, the show’s executive producer and co-creator, expressed her feelings about the news in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying:

“What I felt in the moment was concern for the hundreds and hundreds of people who’d just lost their jobs across three of my shows,” Plec said.

Rumors have circulated relating the show’s premature demise to the CW’s planned sale, which has had a knock-on impact on other major shows that have also been canceled (as reported by The Express).

Among those who have been axed by the CW is the contentious Charmed revival. The witchy drama ended with a bang, yet its contentious climax had viewers (and authors) scratching their heads.

What Could Have Happened if the Show Had Been Renewed?

Hope, the show’s titular character, eventually arrives at a conclusion. The emotional reappearance of her father, Klaus (Joseph Morgan), assisted her in coming to terms with his death, and she was ready to take on a mentoring position at Salvatore.

In an interview with TV Insider, the actress admitted that this is the first time her character has been so optimistic.

“This is the first time we really see her at such peace, and it felt that way when I was filming the finale.”

That tranquility is tinged with sadness because her romance with Aria Shahghasemi’s Landon ended on a sour note due to him being in limbo.

Russell suggests that if the show had continued, this might not have been the end for them both.

Klaus’ entrance was hardly the only unexpected cameo in the finale. Candice King reprised her role as Caroline in the finale, taking over as the school’s new interim headmistress from Alaric (Matthew Davis).

Caroline would have thrived in her new role if she had been given half the chance (*ahem, that chance being season five).

Plec said that she was mainly happy with how everyone’s tale ended (via EW); but, the creator also revealed that she is still bothered by Ben [Zane Phillips] and Jed [Ben Levin].

If the show had continued, we imagine Ben and Jed’s romance would have had some ups and downs (come on, it’s Legacies), but we have a feeling the two would have some staying power.

Conclusion

Legacies Season 5 is not expected to air anytime soon. However, the plots have the potential to be expanded upon in a future spin-off. Fans will have to hope and pray for it to continue, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
