Comic-Con 2018: Legacies --The New Vampire Diaries Spinoff Gets Trailer
<p>If <em>The Vampire Diaries</em>, <em>The Originals</em>, or the whole franchise is your guilty pleasure, you'll be excited to know that the CW is launching yet another spinoff based on the events of both shows called <em>Legacies</em>. The trailer recently premiered at <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/comic-con/">Comic-Con</a>.</p><p dir="ltr">If you recall, <em>The Originals</em> started off because Klaus, one of the original vampires who was a vampire/werewolf hybrid, got a girl pregnant. This meant that the kid would be born a vampire, a werewolf, and the grandchild of one of the most powerful witches who ever lived.</p><p dir="ltr">Now, that child is a teenager, and she has little control over her many powers, so she is heading off to the Salvatore academy (as in the Salvatore brothers from <em>The Vampire Diaries</em>), which helps supernatural teens get their powers, and their urges, under control. The academy is lead by Alaric Saltzman, a teacher who was a recurring character on <em>The Vampire Diaries</em> and managed to stay human.</p><p dir="ltr">The trailer gives a pretty good look at the story the show will follow. The characters get involved with the locals and use their abilities, not always in a good way. The trailer also features the same voice-over style that was used for the other two shows, which is a nice way to give it a sense of continuity. <em>Legacies</em> will premiere October 25 on the CW.</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>San Diego Comic-Con 2018 Coverage</strong></p><ul><li dir="ltr"><a
