It wasn’t that long ago that The Vampire Diaries had the highest ratings on The CW. Those days are long gone but the series won’t be abruptly cancelled. It’s been decided that season eight will be the final season, giving the cast and creators a chance to give the series a proper series finale. Will the ratings continue to fall this year or will they rise, causing the execs to regret not making a ninth 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 recurring cast includes Nathalie Kelley, Kristen Gutoskie, Allison Scagliotti, Lily Rose Mumford, Tierney Mumford, and Tristin Mays.
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.

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 like The Vampire Diaries TV series? Do you think it should be ending or renewed for a ninth season?

It started with such a bang, going great but along the way it became complex and confused with other spin off series like the originals, it’s good that it has ended. It was a very very enjoyable TV show nevertheless. Great creative job done by the whole team. Congratulations.

My girlfriend and I love watching the vampire diaries and would really hate to see it end so soon. It would be amazing to have another season or two of the vamp diaries and I’m sure all the fans would agree on that one. Such a great show to see it go, please make another season. I’ve gotten a couple of my friends into the show as well and they are hooked. Please make another season
