In 2009, while spectators were orphans of “Buffy against vampires”, the American channel CW seizes this fantastic myth to make it a series that will meet a resounding success … Quickly, she soon left Netflix.
When we think of teenage series in the United States, the CW channel immediately comes to mind. Launched in 2006, she offered us pure entertainment, especially in the 2010s when she was at her prime With superheroic or fantastic programs.
At the time, Vampire Diaries made the heyday of the chain. This free adaptation of “Journal of a vampire” by LJ Smith. By Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson (who both worked on Scream) was born in 2009 and will say goodbye in 2017 after 8 seasons and 171 episodes.
What is it talking about?
Four months after the tragic car accident that killed their parents, Elena Gilbert, 17, and her brother Jeremy, 15, are still trying to adapt to this new reality. Beautiful and popular, the teenager continues her studies at the Mystic Falls High by trying to hide her sorrow. Elena is immediately fascinated by Stefan and Damon Salvatore, two brothers that everything opposes. She does not take long to discover that they are in fact vampires.
A soap teen with fantastic sauce
Vampire Diaries quickly finds the recipe that works. It must be said that at that time, these mythical creatures were on the rise with the release of Twilight in the cinema. The series surfs on this success by mixing supernatural, romance and a little horror.
Spectators quickly fall in love with this charismatic trio worn by Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder. But fans are divided quickly on a very specific subject: for what Salvatore Elena should she crack?
For the kind and attractive Stefan or for the dangerous but no less attractive Damon? In almost 10 years, the writers had time to pull this common thread and please everyone, while exploring their fraternal relationships.
With his twists in Gogo sometimes pulled by hair, his romantic intrigues and despite his few teenage shots, Vampire Diaries is one of the best fantastic series of the chain – as evidenced by his excellent note of 4 out of 5 on Allociné.
Over the seasons, the writers have developed the supernatural universe: witches and werewolves rub shoulders with blood suckers and sometimes fight together for the good of Mystic Falls.
Two spin-offs were born
The fourth season of Vampire Diaries extends a little more The Lore By introducing to the public the new big villain of the series called Klaus (Joseph Morgan). The latter is one of the originals, the first vampires that have existed for over 1000 years. The CW quickly gives the green light to a spin-off which will be broadcast between 2013 and 2018.
These two productions will then give birth to a new series, Legacies, (2018-2022) which brings together the two universes: we follow the children of two protagonists of Vampire Diaries and two characters from The Originals. And once again, success is there, proof that fans are present when we talk to them about supernatural creatures …
Vampire Diaries leaves Netflix on July 16
