What Is It?
Legacies is a spin-off from The Originals and focuses on Hope Mikaelson, the daughter of Klaus Mikaelson and Hayley Marshall, who is descended from some of the most powerful vampire, werewolf, and witch bloodlines. It takes place two years after the events of the parent series and follows Hope as she attends Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted. Following is the synopsis for the Season 2 premiere:
After discovering that there may be a way out of Malivore, Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) becomes more determined than ever to find her way back to Mystic Falls. Alaric (Matthew Davis), who is still reeling after being voted out as headmaster by the honor council, continues looking into the mysterious night Malivore was destroyed. Elsewhere, as the students leave for summer vacation, Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) stays behind to keep an eye on Rafael (Peyton Alex Smith), while MG (Quincy Fouse) heads to Atlanta to spend time with Kaleb’s (guest star Chris Lee) family. Finally, while Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) spends the summer in Europe with Caroline, Josie (Kaylee Bryant) searches for answers about the mysterious ascendant that Alaric was keeping from them.

Status
As with Charmed, this series did not draw high ratings based on the same day numbers during its first season, but it performed very well in digital viewing and the younger-skewing CW pays close attention to those stats. Expect this one to have a good chance of carrying on the Vampire Diaries franchise for a few more years. You can keep up with the ratings results and further status updates during the season at the show’s page on this site.
