‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 6: Did Ian Somerhalder suggest show could end soon?
Is the end of the road really near for “The Vampire Diaries“? At the moment, we definitely know that there is some talk about this over Twitter about some alleged comments Ian Somerhalder made at a New Jersey convention this weekend.
Specifically, what was supposedly said by Ian (per Twitter) was that season 6 could possibly by the last season of the show, and he would rather see the show go out on a high note than be drug out for as long as humanly possible with subpar seasons. The latter part of this statement we can certainly agree with; we know that having ten seasons of a show can be great, but what happens if there are three or four of those that are quite frankly terrible? Shows like “The Office” and “Scrubs” are both shows where fans wish that they ended things around the time the original cast members started to leave.
In going back to whether or not “The Vampire Diaries” is ending, we can’t see it happening this year. Ian may be alluding somewhat to the fact that there are contract discussions that happen for shows after season six and seven, and we are at the point right now at least where these sort of discussions about the endgame do happen. We also don’t imagine this show going ten or twelve years, given that you have a big cast, and some of them like Ian and Nina Dobrev likely get many offers to do other things.
However, The CW still has a lot invested in this show financially; it’s their highest-rated program, it has a spin-off in “The Originals,” and when they do decide to end it we imagine it getting a full “final season” treatment in advance. We foresee at least one more season after this one, and maybe more depending on what the cast wants. The last thing that we’d ever want to see is the series without Ian (who is for sure returning despite what happened to Damon), Nina, or Paul Wesley.

I wish nothing good on this series. Like if murderous vampires are not bad enough, amoral relationships on top of it is just too F*&&^*. I see why judgement is coming to Unite States of America

All I care about right now, is Damon back, , and Season 6 will be more then likely the last one.

CW has a lot invested? That just means money over quality. Flogging a dead horse to a very tired end. TVD is not what it used to be in earlier seasons. It’s turned into a pure fan service and shipping show, whether Julie Plec wants to admit it or not. Just like Gossip Girl. Ended up with under one million in ratings each week and the die hard shippers waiting for their Chuck and Blair endgame. TVD isn’t a romantic comedy that should have an expected happy ending either, it’s about vampires, the Salvatore brothers. I will be praying for a Damon/Stefan endgame.

I seriously think that a bad ending is totally not cool I mean why? Exactly it is a vampire show but that doesn’t mean anything but it’s not up to me or you but really what about the Stefan and Elena fans who want them to be together or the Damon and Elena fans they deserve something even if a group doesn’t get what they want.
