Last season, Arrow surpassed The Vampire Diaries as the most-watched show on The CW. Will this show’s ratings continue to drop this season? Is it essentially guaranteed to be renewed for a seventh season or could it be cancelled? Stay tuned.
The Vampire Diaries revolves around the search for love and the battle between good 04 17 2015 11 36
and evil in the supernatural-charged town of Mystic Falls, Virginia. The cast includes Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, Steven R. McQueen, Kat Graham, Candice Accola, Zach Roerig, Michael Trevino, Matt Davis, Michael Malarkey, and Chris Brochu.
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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
1/11 update: The Vampire Diaries and seven other shows have been renewed for the 2015-16 season.

For comparisons: The fifth season of The Vampire Diaries averaged a 1.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.23 million total viewers.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like The Vampire Diaries TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a seventh season?
I hate this show. I can’t believe it made it this far but whatever.
I don’t want this series to end! I love it! started watching it on netflex and I was hooked. please watch people.
The Vampire Diaries should have been cancelled when ratings dipped below 2m.
Some episodes now are as low as 1.2m. Once it dips below 1m I think the show will be gone. When The Following was cancelled it was still averaging 3m viewers. Ratings are what keeps a show from being decommissioned.
This is not personal but an analysis of the shows decline which started around season 4.
Renew this show. I love the brothers. Elena had sort of worn out her welcome.
This show went downhill since the originals left tbh, although it looked promising in season 6 (mainly because of kai, amazing character) but julie plec killed him off too, such a shame, so much potential and amazing chemistry between him and bonnie, would of loved to see that relationship develop. I really don’t know anyone who would be tuning in next season, no stelena, delena, elena, klaroline, forwood, bonkai, fans thats for sure. Maybe bamon fans but plec already stated they are not going down that route. Would not be surprised if the rating dipped under 1 million. RIP TVD,… Read more »
cancel tvd the originals and just make a vampire lestate series…
Just read the comments, they are very upsetting. Really, if you don’t like tvd, why on you on here commenting? I mean, just don’t watch it. There is no reason to hate on the show and its viewers. Many people still love the show and would continue to watch it for another 20 years if possible. I would. The show is about it characters. It’s the characters I come back for every week. I am upset, of course, that we will no longer have Elena on the show. (I’m watching the season six finally right now, for the millionth time,… Read more »
I agree 100% I don’t get why people think it’s okay to just bash what others enjoy. I mean it’s perfectly okay to have an opinion but the comments and the encouragement for cancellation needs to stop. As for Elena(Nina Dobrev) leaving I know she’s going to be gone for a while but I don’t think it’ll be forever like everyone made it out to be. <3
I love the vampire diaries. Season six was really good. I loved Kia, he is a really good actor. So glad some of the characters got to come back. I have always loved tvd. It is my favorite show. There is always something to keep me interested. I am very upset that Nina is leaving the show. It will not be the same without her, but show must go on. I am content with the way she left the show. That is the best way I can think of. I will continue to watch until the end unless something happened… Read more »
I agree with you can you please read jas comment
I was a die-hard fan of the show until they started throwing random characters together. Everyone knows how Klaus promised Caroline to come back for her & then the writers decided to put her with Caroline. I think the show is going to really decline in its ratings because of that and because of the fact that Nina Dobrev isn’t even going to be in the show anymore. I’m definitely not watching anymore
Sorry for my spelling Grammer I meant it was nina dobrev decison on leaving vampire diaries and It time to say a goodbye to nina
The show is a very interesting one, it had me hooked from the very first time I watched it. Maybe I hated how Nina Dobrev acted but she was a very good actress. When I learned she would no longer be a part of the show a part of me for the series faded. I am not very excited to see what they have in store for the season 7 because it is now out of my interest since Nina decided to leave. I think that Julie plec should give the show a great ending…The series finale should be season… Read more »
