Lock your doors and don’t invite anyone in. Or do, if you want a sexy yet tortured blood-sucking immortal for company. That's right, vampires are making a return to a TV near you.
Netflix recently announced the adaptation of Twilight author Stephenie Meyer ’s book Midnight Sun , as an animated series, and it will tell the story of Twilight through Edward’s perspective. So, what does this mean for the rest of the teen vampire genre that took over in the 2010s? Well, The Vampire Diaries' creator Julie Plec has some thoughts on the matter. In similar fashion to how Twilight impacted the genre when it was originally released, this continuation of Stephenie Meyer's fantastical world has stirred up rumors of a Vampire Diaries revival.
In addition to 8 seasons of TVD , showrunner Julie Plec also saw the success of two spinoffs, The Originals and Legacies . Now, after attempting a number of other projects, it seems she may be ready to return to Mystic Falls, as she told THR : You know what, Paul Wesley and I were literally just texting two days ago because he saw the news about the Twilight animated show and he’s like, ‘Why aren’t we doing this?’ And I said, ‘Good question. We should do this.
’ There are so many opportunities to keep this world alive and keep this franchise going. Well, well, well, it seems actor Paul Wesley , who played Stefan Salvatore, has changed his tune a bit. Only a few years ago he was saying he would never return to TVD , but Plec's comments.
