The final season of TVD premieres Friday, October 21 at 8/7c on The CW. Season seven of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES finds those closest to Elena Gilbert striving to redefine themselves in the wake of losing her. Some recover, while others slide back to their darkest selves. Lily Salvatore takes advantage of this rocky emotional terrain and works to drive a wedge between her sons Damon and Stefan Salvatore, even as she loses control of her volatile heretic family. And looming over all the present-day suspense, flash-forwards to three years in the future will show glimpses of a horrific supernatural threat with profound consequences for our heroes and Mystic Falls.
