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’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 definitely think the show should have ended in Season 6. They could have written the last couple episodes a little differently where the characters get a peaceful, happy ending. I feel like any more story line that will come in Season 7 will just drag and people will lose interest fast. Especially now that Nina Dobrev (who I believe is the heart of the show) is leaving, the show is losing a good number of fans even before the new season. No matter how much I loved this series, I don’t think I will be watching it any longer.… Read more »
I love this show and the acting is great. I’m sad to see Nina leave but to be honest I feel that ever since Stelena have been on the outs, the show has lost it way. I’m a loyal fan and will continue to watch regardless of who is coming and going. The storyline needs a new direction for the longevity of the show. Stephen’s character has lost it way. Which is why the show ratings has dwindled down over the past recent years. Damon’s character is fit for a supporting role not a lead. The Salvatore’s would be a… Read more »
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.
I totally agree Erin. This show has been nothing but fan service. Julie Plec ruined this once amazing show. She knew that Nina was leaving since before season 6 but she couldn’t let the show end with dignity and respect the fans who have been around from the start with a good ending instead of a ******** one. You can’t continue a show without its lead. Several shows have done this in the past and it was cancelled the season after, it never works. The Vampire Diaries revolves around Nina and her characters so to send her off and continue… Read more »
Kaylee forgot something sorry i also noted that I love vampire diaries I wanted to renewed sorry feel free to talk to mark pedowitz he will tell you the reason why nina left it’s due to her contract she still had her old contract JuIle plec will answer this if TVD ends TO will end too do you love the originals
Keep the show going!!!! This show means so much to me and I’m not going to let a bunch of Nina Dobrev fans ruin the show for TVD fans! don’t get me wrong, I love Nina but the viewers who stop watching because Nina left aren’t really TVD fans are they? They are only fans of Nina and were destined to leave anyway. I love Delena but I will get over it. My sisters and my best friend all agree that the vampire diaries should keep going even without Nina . . . or anyone else who leaves. Some of… Read more »
Love it!! Keep it going!! There are still TONS of fans out there who absolutely love this show!!
This show has been the best part of my life for a long time, well that time has come to an end. When Nina Dobrev is no longer on my screen I will no longer be watching. I loved the show for it’s characters and with so many of them leaving it’s not the same. I’ve watched TVD go down hill for this entire season and I will not watch it destruct anymore. Without the posssibility of Stelena or Delena, Elena, Tyler, or Jeremy there really is no reason for me to watch anymore. It was a good run I’m… Read more »
This show was amazing when it started and it still is now i will always love this show as it is fresh has great actors/storylines and characters, it is not boring its just that they have grown up and they are not in HS anymore, a lot of people started compiling after they left HS and to me that is just silly because characters grow up to they can’t stay 17 forever can they,also all this BS on who ships who is kind of getting annoying now, i love a good love story as much as the next person but… Read more »
I have been watching TVD since September 10th of 2009, and I look forward to it every Thursday. This show has had a tremendous impact on my life. Yes its a supernatural fantasy, but it was created at a point In my life where I needed a fantasy world to endure my reality. I love/live for these characters that Julie Plec has continued to make great. The day this show gets cancelled, there will be a severe sadness that speads throughout the hearts that fell in love with these amazing people and this incredible story. Yeah, thoughout the seasons its… Read more »
This may be completely wrong of me to say but I don’t really like It that much anymore. I can really tell that they are struggling with decent story lines and I’m finding it really hard to continue watching it.
I used to like the show but now it has become boring and just plain bad. I love Nina Dobrev and she is an amazing actress but other than her, there is no point to watching the show.
If you don’t like the vampire diaries then don’t watch it at all if you don’t like the cw network shows don’t watch at all this is not your cup of tea I recommend you watching something else here the thing if vampire diaries ends the series the originals series will end too
Love the show and miss it when it’s not on!! My friend and I discuss every episode and can’t wait for the next one!! Love love love it!!
Steph please help please read Lauren comment
I mean this with all of my heart. I hope the ******** show gets canceled. Nothing makes sense anymore the storylines are nothing but fan service and plot devices for people who ship both delena and steroline. Meanwhile they treat the other fans who ship other couples like ****. Which is why people like myself have stopped watching all together.
Ya I agree with this… The storyline is nothing but plots based on fan feed back. I love the show and would love it see it going on and on. But if they want it to be a feedback based fan directed plots show. It rather end. I will cope eventually.
If people don’t like watching vampire diaries don’t watch it juile plec noted that if vampire diaries ends the originals will go too
