Season Summary

Set in the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted, LEGACIES tells the story of the next generation of supernatural beings as they learn what it means to be special in a world that may never understand. Typically a school for vampires like MG, werewolves like Rafael and witches like twins Lizzie and Josie Saltzman, the kids and their beloved headmaster Dr. Alaric Saltzman were stunned to come face to face with a series of monsters and creatures they had only ever heard of in myth and lore. A dragon. A gargoyle. The Headless Horseman. The evil behind the real-life resurrection of these formerly fictional beings proved to have a horrifying connection to the school's newest student, Landon Kirby. This led his first and only love Hope Mikaelson, the school's shining star, to sacrifice her place at the school — and in the world — to protect Landon from a terrible fate. The new season will show us a world without Hope Mikaelson and all the chaos that goes along with it. All the while, Hope will be trying to find her way back to the school she has learned to call home and the friends she has learned to love like family. It will be filled with new monsters and more romantic and emotional surprises than ever.^[5]

Plot

Hope is forgotten by everyone since she dove in the Malivore pit to stop the monster from rising. Due to not being a fully active tribrid, her presence merely weakened him. Sometime after returning from Malivore's darkness, Hope seeks refuge at Mystic Falls High School, with new principal, Alaric Saltzman's. The Salvatore School appoints a new principal; a witch named Rupert Vardemus. Meanwhile, Lizzie encounters a new mysterious vampire, and Josie begins a new relationship with Landon. After using a dark Japanese spell to free Lizzie from an Oni, the latter's memory of Hope is restored. Josie later reverse engineers the spell to restore everyone's memory of her with Freya Mikaelson's help, but this leaves Josie, Hope and Landon at odds with each other until he finally makes a decision about his feelings. Professor Vardemus is revealed to be Ryan Clarke who impersonated the real professor to plot against the Salvatore School, but ultimately meets his own end.

Hope and Alaric continues readjusting to being back at the Salvatore School while monsters continue to plague the school, though with different reasons than previously intended due to influence from the Necromancer, who was previously freed from Malivore's control after retrieving the knife, though his powers had been stripped. Josie's latest dilly-dallying with dark magic renders her prone to darkness, which she worries would turn her evil. They attempt to send the Mora Miserium containing the dark magic to a new prison world, only to be sent to the one where Malachai Parker was imprisoned along with three other students. Desperate to return to their world, Josie breaks the Mora miserium and takes in all the dark magic, giving them the opportunity to escape.

During the aftermath of the Saltzmans' escape from the 2018 prison world, Josie's evil alter ego takes over and threatens everyone's safety in her attempt to force Lizzie to go through with the Merge. Hope uses the opportunity to dive into Josie's mind in hopes of finding her subconscious. Meanwhile, Landon helps Rafael figure out what had happened to the latter, and discover he was killed and had been under the Necromancer's control. The Necromancer joins forces with Josie due to shared benefits. Back in Josie's mind, Hope is petrified by Dark Josie before Josie overcame her fear and defeated her. The Necromancer strikes a deal with Alaric to transfer Josie's dark magic into himself in exchange for Alyssa Chang and Rafael's freedom and Landon's resurrection, who was killed by Rafael while he was under control. Freed from the dark magic, Josie decides to give up her siphoning power and places it into a coin. Despite their brief victory, both and Hope and Landon remain unconscious and dead, respectively.
