When it first debuted, The Vampire Diaries earned the highest ratings of any show to have premiered on The CW (at that time). While its Nielsen numbers waned over the years, and the first spin-off, The Originals never quite lived up to the mother show’s standards, Julie Plec and company have done pretty well by the littlest network. Now they have introduced another sequel series, the Legacies TV show. Can it bring viewers old and new back to good old, bad old Mystic Falls? Will Legacies be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A CW supernatural drama, Legacies stars Danielle Rose Russell, Jenny Boyd, Kaylee Bryant, Quincy Fouse, Aria Shahghasemi, Peyton Alex Smith, and Matt Davis.The horror fantasy centers on Hope Mikaelson (Russell), daughter of the Original, Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan). Hope is now a student at The Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted, along with other unusual students, including Lizzie (Boyd) and Josie (Bryant), the twin daughters of Alaric Saltzman (Davis). Although they’re still in school, they have to keep their abilities and true natures a secret, while they rely on age-old lore to help them learn how to fight their enemies.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like the Legacies TV series on The CW? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*1/31/19 update: The CW has renewed the Legacies TV show for a second season. Details here.
I think that I fell in love with this spin off from the originals. I think that hope should be able to be saved or returned to the show somehow with the help of her aunt freya. Please make a second season. I agree with Alisha Noles, I also loved TVD&TO… don’t let this be the end.
Legacies should have more seasons!!!! I was really surprised how interested I was. It would be awesome to see them renew the contract and produce more seasons!!! The best way to get the audience is being a few more old TVD cast. Season 3 bring Hope back. Let her be found by Damon and Elena. Think of going awesome!!!
We miss TVD & TO. PLEASE RENEW FIR MORE SEASONS!!!
Legacies got off to a slow start. The show has made it’s mark on me and I vote for the renewed season two and three. Love to see these story lines evolve! I am a huge fan of The Originals and know story lines resurrecting the Mickelson family would be a huge ratings changer!! Please renew for two more seasons and give Legacies a real chance!!
I watched all of Vampire Diaries, The Originsls, and now Legacies, I am hoping since in the last movies people are brought back from their world of the dead; that somehow Hope will get her dad and uncle back, highly unlikely, but I am excited to see where this may go once they graduate and get out in the world, if it lasts that long I believe this can be a a great show and I have been enjoying it. Keep the show.
Cancel Legacies please its horrible.
Wow the drop for ep 2×11 is big. How come?
It aired behind a rerun of Charmed instead of a new episode of Supernatural.
Please the movie is very very interesting and I need the continuation of the season 1 episode 10 where I stopped…
I love this show because im a fan of the originals and this girl is daughter of Klaus so I’m very supportive of it. And by Hope being a breed reminded me of underworld she is a breed and a witch wich makes it better and high school drama felt like I was in high school. I feel this show could become very popular hope it does to continue watching more of it .
I love this show it is great I fall into the 18 to 49 demographics. I have always watched shows like this because, it allows you to get away from your life for an hour and enjoy yourself.
Keep the show!!! It’s great and each episode gets better
Legacies is a good horror and drama tv show like supernatural. Should have 2nd season
Keep the show just started watching it and i love it. Needs more promoting (i heard about it and then forgot about) BUT ITS OVERALL A REALLY GOOD SHOW
Legacies Should definitely continue. I love this show.
This show gets better each episode. The demons from the hell (which is from their version) are weird but really scary and dark. Through the good ratings, we can see It’s definetly gonna be renewed. Legacies is a great show and an amazing expansion of The Vampire Diaries Mithology. Congrats for CWN.
Joey, I’m with you. Legacies keeps getting better and evolves each character with every episode.
Cancel it, nothing comes close to THE ORIGINALS or any of their cast of THE MIKELSONS!
Yes cancel it it became boring , I thought it was gonna be like the originals but not even close, it needs to go, is becoming like a kids show if they want to keep it need to add more action and not make stupid , I keep watching it n see when is gonna take a turn but is not happening what a waste
