The Vampire Diaries and its spinoffs,
The Originals and
Legacies, with the latter still airing on The CW. Clearly not done within the world of bloodsucking drama, Plec is now heading to NBCUniversalâs streaming platform Peacock to start up a new vampire franchise.

The Vampire Diaries franchise co-creator and her longtime collaborator Marguerite MacIntyre will serve as co-showrunners on the series, and according to THR, the new project has already received a straight-to-series order.
