Is ‘The Vampire Diaries' returning for season 9? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on May 12, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated May 12, 2025, 11:52 IST The Vampire Diaries captivated audiences with its supernatural drama, love triangles, and thrilling plot twists for eight seasons. Since the series finale in 2017, fans have been eagerly asking: Is The Vampire Diaries Season 9 happening? Here's everything we know so far about The Vampire Diaries Season 9. Is The Vampire Diaries Season 9 Happening? As of May 2025, The Vampire Diaries Season 9 has not been officially confirmed. The CW announced in 2016 that Season 8 would be the final season, allowing creators Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson to craft a conclusive ending. Despite persistent rumors, no credible plans for a ninth season have emerged. In 2020 and 2021, fan-driven speculation about Vampire Diaries Season 9 gained traction, with some outlets claiming a 2021 release. However, these rumors were debunked by Julie Plec, who confirmed no new season was in development. A 2024 video from Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley jokingly teased a 'Season 9 wrap,' but it was a playful nod to fans, not a confirmation. For now, The Vampire Diaries Season 9 remains a fan-fueled dream rather than a reality. The show's creators and cast have moved on, and the Season 8 finale provided a fulfilling end. While the supernatural world of Mystic Falls could theoretically return, no official plans exist as of May 2025. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

LJ Smith Dead: Author Of ‘The Vampire Diaries,' ‘The Secret Circle' Was 66
LJ Smith, the author whose bestselling Vampire Diaries novels were adapted into a hit TV show, has died aged 66. The New York Times reports that the bestselling author died on March 8 in Walnut Creek, Calif, after suffering effects of a rare autoimmune disease for a decade. More from Deadline Julie Plec Reflects On 15 Years Of 'The Vampire Diaries' & Teases Upcoming YA Mystery Series 'We Were Liars' 'Legacies' EPs Julie Plec & Brett Matthews On Saying Goodbye For Now & Their Plans To Expand The Universe 'Vampire Diaries' Co-Creator Julie Plec Responds To Kat Graham: "The Door Will Always Be Open For Bonnie Bennett" A statement on Smith's website said: 'Lisa was a kind and gentle soul, whose brilliance, creativity, resilience and empathy, illuminated the lives of her family, friends and fans alike. 'She will be remembered for her imaginative spirit, her pioneering role in supernatural fiction, and her generosity, warmth and heart, both on and off the page.' (Lisa Jane) Smith published the original four-book series, about two vampire brothers and an orphaned young woman, in 1991 and 1992, before they were turned into a hit TV show that debuted in 2009. She wrote another trilogy in 2009-11. BBC News reports that in 2011 Smith was dropped by her publishers, who owned the rights to the series, and commissioned other writers to continue. But later the series was added to an Amazon Kindle scheme, which gave anyone the right to publish fan fiction, and she continued to create new instalments for the characters she had created. The Vampire Diaries TV show ran for eight years and won 30 Teen Choice Awards, including six consecutive wins for Nina Dobrev who played Elena for six seasons. Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder also starred as brothers Stefan and Damon Salvatore. Smith also wrote a series of Night World novels, also featuring vampires. Nine books in this series were published between 1996 and 1998. Dark Visions and The Forbidden Game were other trilogies she penned. Her trilogy The Secret Circle was published in 1992 and adapted into a TV drama in 2011.
