The CW has added one more to its recent string of cancellations with Legacies, a series that spun off of the network’s popular The Vampire Diaries.

Legacies will not return for a fifth season, as reported by THR. This marks the end of the shared universe which included eight seasons of The Vampire Diaries and its previous spinoff, The Originals, which ran for five seasons and ended in 2018. The cancellation of Legacies follows several DC adaptations being pruned from The CW, including Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow, which respectively failed to secure fifth and eighth season renewals. Most recently, it was announced that Naomi, which premiered in January and wrapped its 13-episode first and only season on May 10, would not be returning for a second season. Charmed, Dynasty, In the Dark, Roswell and The 4400 were also dismissed.

Created by The Vampire Diaries co-creator Julie Plec, Legacies had a cast including Danielle Rose Russell, Jenny Boyd, Kaylee Bryant, Quincy Fouse, Aria Shahghasemi, Peyton Alex Smith, Matt Davis, Chris Lee, Ben Levin and Leo Howard. The series took place two years after the events of The Originals and followed Russell’s character Hope Mikaelson, daughter of Klaus Mikaelson and Hayley Marshall. At the age of 17, Hope attends the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted, a haven and training facility for supernatural beings like herself.

The most recent episodes of Legacies began to dig into the history of Luke Mitchell’s character Ken, considered the most powerful being in the universe. As the mysterious and merciless patriarch of a pantheon, Ken was feared by his children Ben and Jen, respectively known as Prometheus and Vulcan, and the student body of Salvatore School was attempting to prepare for a confrontation with him. Unfortunately, it appears that some plot threads from this final season won’t see a resolution.

Reports previously indicated The CW planned to cut the number of superhero shows the network had on its schedule for next season with Batwoman, Legends of Tomorrow, Naomi and the Gotham Knights pilot reportedly on the chopping block. Of these, only Gotham Knights ended up receiving a series order.

The CW has also picked up the pilots for The Winchesters and Walker: Independence. The fate of Legacies, however, was unknown until it failed to obtain a renewal.
