While Legacies wasn’t one of The CW’s top shows last season, it still did well in the ratings. Will fans stick around for season two? Will Legacies be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A supernatural drama, the Legacies TV show stars Danielle Rose Russell, Jenny Boyd, Kaylee Bryant, Quincy Fouse, Aria Shahghasemi, Peyton Alex Smith, with Matt Davis. A spin-off of The Originals (which is a spin-off of The Vampire Diaries), this show is set in the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted, a haven for supernatural beings to learn to control their impulses and abilities. Typically a school for vampires like MG (Fouse), werewolves like Rafael (Smith) and witches like twins Lizzie (Boyd) and Josie (Kaylee Bryant), the kids and their beloved headmaster Dr. Alaric Saltzman (Davis) were stunned to come face to face with a series of monster and creatures they had only ever heard of in myth and lore — a dragon, a gargoyle, and the Headless Horseman. The evil behind the real-life resurrection of these formerly fictional beings proved to have a horrifying connection to the school’s newest student, Landon (Shahghasemi). This led his first and only love, Hope (Russell), the school’s shining star, to sacrifice her place at the school — and in the world — to protect Landon from a terrible fate. In season two, Hope tries to find her way back to the school she has learned to call home and the friends she has learned to love like family.

What do you think? Do you like the Legacies TV series on The CW? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
*1/7/20 update: The CW has renewed Legacies for a third season.
I would really hate it if this show was cancelled. I really enjoy it.
I’ll be disappointed if they cancel the legacies, I’ve been following Hope since she was born in The originals. I’ll like to see her get more power, led the show. Thanks for the update!❤️
I swear Hope is the prize. Through her I see Vampire Diary’s and Original’s all rolled into her. She has her mother’s look and stare and her father’s take charge because I know I’m the strongest attitude. Her and Rick help me not miss my two favorite shows so much. Forever in my heart thanks to Hope molding the new students into our old favorites.
The Salvatore’s and Michelson’s would be proud of their Legacies
Please bring back the cw channel so people can enjoy there favorite shows again I really loved my cw show’s most people can’t afford to pay for nixflixs and Hulu please consider it thank you a true fan of cw

Hi accdg. To the final demo ratings of legacies last oct 17 was 0.3 it was adjusted up..how come it went down in your records at .25??
We use the unrounded finals when we can get them because they are more accurate, especially when it comes to CW shows. The 0.25 demo rating is the unrounded final.
Do not get tied up on those numbers, its not worth it. Just keep in mind those numbers are never true/fully captures actual ratings. Notice it says 18-49 Demo- in other words Advertisers don’t care what anyone watches that falls outside of those demographics, so how could you get accurate numbers. Do enough research and you will begin to see why Nielsen numbers are not something hold as true numbers and in fact after awhile of researching you might start to get angry as to why your other shows were cancelled based on not so accurate numbers. That’s not to… Read more »
