This week has been marked by a surprising number of television cancellations, with networks bringing down the axe on an array of recent shows. This included seven different shows at The CW, including the rebooted version of Roswell, New Mexico, as well as The Vampire Diaries and The Originals spinoff Legacies. Julie Plec, who created Legacies and served as an executive producer on Roswell, recently took to Twitter to address those cancellations. In a thread, which you can check out below, Plec paid tribute to Legacies, Roswell, as well as NBC’s heist drama The Endgame, which she also served as an executive producer on, and which was also cancelled after one season on Thursday.
It’s the Red Wedding at WBTV/CW today. Much more to say, but not today.Loads of gratitude coming for fans and cast and crew in future tweets. But today, we mourn.
To The Endgame, a show centered around two brilliant women played by two brilliant women, surrounded by an army of great men and women, led with kindness and grace by the wonderful Nick Wootton.
To my beloved Legacies — after the Parkland shootings, I decided I wanted to tell a story about the young heroes who would save us from ourselves. Good kids living on the fringe who ultimately were the heroes of the whole story.
To the cast and crews of all. Some who have been part of the family since Day 1 of TVD in 2009. To the marriages that happened along the way, the children who were born, the friendships we all made and to hopefully many, many more stories to come.
A final tip of the hat to our kindred spirits in cancellation at the CW. What a run we’ve all had. It’s sad when the business changes beneath your feet. May you all find your way to your next adventure with the knowledge that you did yourselves proud.
