Update: Ian Somerhalder Retracts Statement on 'The Vampire Diaries' Series End
UPDATE: Ian Somerhalder has retracted his statements regarding the oncoming end to the series.
"Last weekend I talked to an audience at a Q&A about the end of #TVD and how excited I was to make what I believe - my last year - be as great as possible," he wrote. "Somehow in my infinite wisdom and end-of-season foggy brain, I managed to make it sound like the show was coming to an end."
"Thing is, the people who actually make that decision (the CW and WB) haven’t made it yet," he continued. "So let’s take things one step at a time: season seven wrap, vacation, lots of sleep, let the writers get started on season eight, and then we’ll all see where we go from there."
ORIGINAL ARTICLE: While no confirmation has been made by the CW regarding its vampire property The Vampire Diaries, two of the show's long-running stars have hinted that the upcoming season could be its last.
At the WalkerStalkerCon fan convention in Nashville, star Ian Somerhalder (who plays Damon Salvatore) told fans in attendance that the show is headed toward its official ending. "We have decided to do one last season to really do the story justice."
Co-star Kat Graham (who plays Bonnie Bennett) said on Thursday that "Season 8 will be my last." From the sounds of it, it looks like it'll be everybody's last.
"I just hope that whatever I do after, the crew can come with me," Graham said. "The crew is going to be the hardest thing to let go, because we are a family."
