The CW has Canceled Legacies
After 13 years, 3 shows, and 331 episodes, The Vampire Diaries Universe has ended. The CW canceled Legacies today.
Tonight's episode has moved to June 2 and Legacies‘ June 16 season finale (9/8c) will now have to serve as its series finale.
TVLine readers chose Legacies as the one bubble show they most wanted to be renewed, but alas, it wasn’t to be.
As of April 26, Legacies this season has averaged 760,000 total weekly viewers and a 0.2 demo rating (with Live+7 playback factored in), down from its Season 3 tallies (1 mil/0.3).
Out of the 19 dramas The CW has aired this TV season, it ranks No. 12 in audience and only trails All American, Superman & Lois, and The Flash in the demo.
Of note, its audience enjoys one of the two largest DVR bumps (+107%) of any CW series.
