After six seasons, Nina Dobrev has left The Vampire Diaries TV show. Will this hurt the ratings or could the changes bring new life to the long-running CW series? Will it be cancelled or renewed for an eighth season? Stay tuned.
The Vampire Diaries revolves around the search for love and the battle between good and evil in the supernatural-charged town of Mystic Falls, Virginia. The cast includes Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, Kat Graham, Candice King, Zach Roerig, Matt Davis, and Michael Malarkey.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like The Vampire Diaries TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for an eighth season? How long should it continue?
I love this show and I just wish they’d bring back Nina so she can help save Ian whos gone murder crazy. I hope season 8 is awesomely entertaining!
Renew please!!!
I watch all cw network programming shows on TV I watch Crazy ex girlfriend Jain The Virgin The Flash I Zombies Arrow Supernatural Legend of Tommrow People The 100 Vampire Dairies The Orginals Regin
Are you watching Vampire Dairies and The Orginals on tv
I watch all cw network programming on i watch Crazy ex girlfriend Jain The Virgin The Flash I Zombies Arrow Supernatural Legend of Tommrow People The 100 Vampire Dairies The Orginals Regin best shows ever
I have no idea why cw network moved vampire dairies and crazy ex girlfriend to Friday night schedule
I think its a good idea to have Vampire Dairies tv series and The Orginals series on the mid season schedule
I really really love the show but they need to kill Elena off or something . The false Hope that she is coming back kills the show for sure. Could even get a look a like but I really don’t want the show to be canceled!! I hope they figure it out.
I don’t think they should renew Vampire Diaries because it’s Fallen far really fast when they removed Elena Gilbert from the TV show it basically took a chunk out of the TV show itself honestly I think they should end it then the new season coming up on if they want to have her come back but Bonnie would have to die throughout the process honestly people have stopped watching it due to the fact that Elena has left the show or Nina Dobrev if you like to watch the show I totally understand everybody else that watches it but… Read more »
The most anticlimactic season finale ever. Of course bonnie’s powers never came back, its the writers go to move. I don’t get it TVD could have fallen so far so fast.
they could develop other characters from the beggining of season 7, like bonnie and enzo, their relationship was kept me watching this season, its not only elena or salvatore brothers, sorry for my english
It’s already been renewed as of March 11th. The CW essentially renewed all shows they are airing currently.
Renew please!!!
this show, led me to the originals.!! but its time to stake the VD, in the heart.!! and let it die.!!! long live the originals.!!
The whole period changes of 1-3 yrs in a possible future is killing the show. Had you just made it as you have done in the past, I believe that the show could last for maybe 1 more season. I can’t stomach this show anymore. Time to kill it! PLEASE DONT RENEW!
The vampire diaries is one of my favorite shows. Of course I was sad to see Nina Dobrev leave at the end of season 6 but the show must go on. I would be extremely upset if the show wasn’t renewed for a ninth season simply just because she isn’t on the show anymore. There are many other characters, Elena wasn’t the only one on the show. The vampire diaries is a great show even with out Elena. I would be very sad if it didn’t get renewed for a ninth season, this show should NOT be cancelled.
Let’s hope vampire dairies will be renewed for 9th Season
