Set in The Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted, and within "The Vampire Diaries" universe, LEGACIES tells the ongoing story of a new generation of supernatural students as they learn what it means to be special in a world that wouldn't understand their gifts. In season two, Hope Mikaelson returned to a world that had forgotten she ever existed and reunited with her former Headmaster, Alaric Saltzman. Working together, Hope and Dr. Saltzman ultimately rejoined The Salvatore School to lead their Super Squad of powerful vampires, witches and werewolves, including Lizzie & Josie Saltzman, MG, Rafael and Kaleb and even a Phoenix, her true love Landon, into battle against a dizzying horde of fantastic and deadly monsters birthed from the Malivore Pit ... and their old nemesis, The Necromancer, who was determined to resurrect Malivore. As season three begins, Hope has risked everything to pull her friends back from the brink of a monstrous prophecy that threatened to doom them all. But when a heartbreaking loss shatters her whole world, Hope Mikaelson will be forced to fight fate itself.[4]

Production News[]

  • Production has resumed as of mid-October 2020[6][7] with Jeffrey Hunt directing the first produced episode.[8] The season wrapped production as of June 24, 2021; this includes the four episodes that were cut short to premiere in the Fall (401-404).[9]
  • Originally We're Not Worthy was supposed to be the 2x17, while Goodbyes Sure Do Suck was 2x18. According to Julie Plec, both episodes were shot out of order and that allowed them to switch the order for this season. 2x17 became 3x02 while 2x18 became 3x01.[10]
  • Although originally planned to have 20 episodes[11] (with four episodes moved from the second season), due to the delayed start of the season and to set regular Fall premiere dates, the episode count has been reduced to 16 episodes again.[1][12]
