'The Vampire Diaries' Crossover
During the TCA Press Tour, Mark Pedowitz said that "The Originals" season 8 could stand on its own. He hopes the series could see a fifth year ahead. If this is the case, then there's a high probability that some of the characters from "The Vampire Diaries" may appear temporarily or permanently in "The Originals " season 8.
The website suggests that Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) may crossover to "The Originals" season 8. Since he's done it already, transferring to the spinoff series after "The Vampire Diaries" may be possible. It's up to Wesley on where to go next. "The Originals" season 8 may also see Alaric Saltzman (Matt Davis). The cast of the spinoff series has put their highest best that this character will make the jump after "The Vampire Diaries" ends.
Enzo St. John may also make the jump towards "The Originals" season 8. The website noted that he's already got what it takes to belong to the spinoff series. Lastly, Tyler Lockwood (Michael Trevino) will also make the jump towards the spinoff series.
"The Vampire Diaries" season 8 will air on October 21 on The CW. Meanwhile, "The Originals" season 4 air date is yet to be announced.
