    CW Cancels ‘Legacies’ After Four Seasons

    In what has been a day filled with mass amounts of cancellations from the CW, Legacies has officially become the latest casualty. After four seasons beginning in 2018, the Julie Plec-created series has officially been pulled by the network. The show continued the overarching narrative of the Vampire Diaries franchise while introducing audiences to a new generation of supernatural beings at Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted. With the cancellation of this series, it quietly marks the end of the Vampire Diaries saga as of now, with both the original series and additional spin-off The Originals having come to an end in recent years.

    Even with the end of the series, creator Julie Plec remains fully ensconced in the world of young vampires. She continues to be working on the Vampire Academy series, created by Marguerite MacIntyre and herself, for the Peacock streaming service. As well, she has recently reunited with Vampire Diaries co-creator Kevin Williamson earlier this year to begin development on an additional series for Peacock based around the Death Day film franchise.

    The CW has very much upended its original programming lineup with the cancellations of 4400, Charmed, Dynasty, In the Dark, and Roswell, New Mexico earlier today. As well, the network has officially eliminated a large portion of their shows built around the DC Universe with Naomi being canceled today in conjunction with Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow recently. It certainly begs the question of what the CW has planned moving forward in terms of original programming.

    EXCLUSIVE: Elvis Presley Heads to the CW’s ‘Legacies’

    Like its predecessors, The Vampire Diaries and The Originals, the CW’s Legacies has been known to go off the rails a bit from time to time. So, it shouldn’t be too surprising then that the series is looking to bring in the King. 

    We here a Murphy’s Multiverse can exclusively reveal that the eighth episode in Legacies ‘ fourth season will bring in Elvis. How and why Elvis is coming? Well, that remains to be seen. However, the King has the potential to become a recurring character in the fourth season. The character breakdown for the episode simply says the series is looking for a male actor to portray Elvis Presley in his 40s. Despite being the King in real life, Elvis now finds himself humbled in the Afterlife. As it stands, the role is a co-starring role specifically for this episode, however, the actor does have the potential to land a recurring gig on Legacies as Elvis. Unsurprisingly, the series is encouraging Elvis impersonators to audition.

    Filming on the fourth season of Legacies will begin on Dec. 15 with the series breaking after the 19th for the holidays. Production will begin again on Jan. 2 and continue through Oct. 22. As usual, filming will take place in Covington, Georgia.
