‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 5: A potential filming update

When will the cast of “The Vampire Diaries” officially start work on season 6? This is not a date that The CW typically announces, and for good reason given that they do not want mobs of fans showing up to the various sets in Georgia. That makes it a little bit tricky when people are working on some outdoor scenes (especially late at night when some are exhausted to begin with.

For the sake of not making production any more maddening than it may already be, we’re not going to discuss on here too many specifics. However, we will say that the second week in July looks to be a good timetable from what we’ve seen as to when some production will be underway. This is a little earlier than some other shows start back, but one of the reasons for this here is mostly due to Comic-Con. There is a little window later in July where the cast has to fly out to San Diego, and then promptly fly back to Georgia in order to continue filming. It’s not much of a break, but it is a break nonetheless. There are potentially some more breaks in there if there are cast members attending the Teen Choice Awards or other events.

Some things that you can expect to see discussed in early episodes of the show include the fate of both Damon Salvatore and Bonnie Bennett following the finale of season 5, and also what the future holds for people like Enzo and Alaric now that we know that the two are going to be series regulars moving forward.
