Netflix mentioned, “So long, Salvatores!” The streaming service eliminated The Vampire Diaries on Saturday, September 3, however Elena, Damon and Stefan have already discovered a brand new residence.

Viewers who aren’t prepared to say goodbye to Mystic Falls don’t want to fear. All 171 episodes of The Vampire Diaries are streaming on Peacock and HBO Max. Both platforms added the CW collection, which initially aired from 2009 to 2017, on Sunday, September 4. HBO Max subscription plans begin at 9.99 per thirty days. The present, based mostly on the L.J. Smith e-book collection, isn’t a part of the free tier on Peacock, and premium plans begin at $4.99 per thirty days.

Former showrunner Julie Plec revealed that the addition of NBC Universal’s streaming service was sudden. “I mean, just a little surprise announcement on a Sunday. #TVD is now also streaming on @peacockTV,” she tweeted on Sunday.

Fans could have to rewatch TVD to see Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder as Stefan and Damon Salvatore once more. The preliminary collection adopted the brothers as they fell in love with Elena (Nina Dobrev), a modern-day doppelgänger of the lady who turned them into bloodsuckers in 1864. Obviously, a love triangle ensued and saved followers wrapped up within the story for eight seasons, spawning spinoffs The Originals and Legacies (which stay on Netflix for now).

Despite the longevity of the fandom, the actors solely informed Us Weekly in August that they don’t have any curiosity in showing on one other spinoff.

“No … I’m vampired out,” Wesley, 40, mentioned whereas at a pre-U.S. Open Kick Off occasion in New York City hosted by the Tennis Channel and Brother’s Bond Bourbon.

“Well, we would go … like, if we were to direct,” Somerhalder, 43, mentioned.

After eight seasons, the Brother’s Bond Bourbon cofounders are shifting on to much less fang-filled ventures — however that doesn’t imply leaving their TVD household. While the actors share their alcohol model, Wesley can be working with Plec to develop a collection based mostly on the 2015 article The Confessions of a Drug-Addicted High School Teacher and stays shut with lots of the forged and crew members.

“We don’t have a big group thread, but I’m still super close to Nina, I’m super close with Michael Malarkey – all of them! I mean I talk to all of them on a somewhat regular basis,” Wesley informed Us. “We haven’t had like a big reunion in a while. I did just have dinner at [cocreator] Kevin Williamson‘s house with [cocreator] Julie Plec and Nina.”

He added, “We all travel a lot so we don’t have, like, big parties or anything like that, but we’re all great and friendly.”
