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.

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.
cancel tvd the originals and just make a vampire lestate series…
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 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
I’m curious to see where where they go in season 7 without Elena 🙂 I will not be happy if they pair Damon up with someone else right away, but just because Nina is leaving doesn’t mean that’s the end of everything!! Personally I’m looking forward to a bad Damon again!! and I hope they give Stefan and Caroline a rest, they are so much better as friends.
I love the show,but julie should have ended the series cuz I don’t see how the show will go on without nina,matt and micheal…All the same,TVD,u rock!!!
I absolutely love this so yes I still want it keep going!!!! I honestly don’t think the Cw double has any plans to cancel. Even with the ratings drop it is still one of the highest rated shows they have. It’s also tied to the originals which Julie said will be canceled if TVD is.
