New Promo & Stills For THE VAMPIRE DIARIES Season 8 Episode 11; Plus Nina Dobrev Confirms Series Finale Return
Next week, the Devil makes his return to Mystic Falls with a deadly ultimatum that leaves everyone scrambling. Come check out the extended promo & seven promotional stills from the next episode now!
It's official. Nina Dobrev is returning for the series finale of The Vampire Diaries,
The xXx: The Return of Xander Cage actress announced the news herself on Thursday afternoon with a post on her personal Instagram account, which almost immediately sent fans into a frenzy worldwide. Considering the eighth and final season began production on episode 816 (the series finale) earlier this week and with filming expected to wrap up relatively soon, it was only a matter of time before we received word on whether or not Dobrev would indeed make a return as Elena Gilbert (and/or as her doppelgänger Katherine Pierce) and now the good news has arrived.
After the announcement, showrunner Julie Plec released the following statement: “I’m thrilled to bring this show to an end the way we always intended — with Nina back to help us say goodbye," which was then followed by a second statement from executive producer Kevin Williamson: “I'm so excited to have Nina back to ensure our farewell episode is truly epic!”
Check out her announcement post below:

WHEN EVIL RETURNS - Cade (guest star Wolé Parks) returns to Mystic Falls and presents Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) with additional assignments, each with unthinkable consequences. Even with tension growing in their friendship, Caroline (Candice King) and Matt (Zach Roerig) do their best to protect the town's residents from Cade's appetite for their souls. Bonnie (Kat Graham) and Enzo (Michael Malarkey) hit the road on a romantic trip, taking the bell with them in hopes to keep it safe. Carol Banker directed the episode written by Melinda Hsu Taylor & Celine Geiger (#811). Original airdate 2/3/2017.
Plus, here are a few behind-the-scenes photos from the finale shoot:
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES sinks its teeth into its final season with more high-stakes romance, adventure and drama than ever before. Last season, our heroes rebuilt their world without Elena, and Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Caroline (Candice King) began their much-anticipated yet complicated relationship. Meanwhile, Damon pursued a vendetta against his mother Lily (guest star Annie Wersching), who abandoned her sons to care for vampire-witches. Lily’s misguided choices caused her own demise and Rayna forced Stefan to go on the run and leave Caroline to make a new start with Alaric. Damon enlisted the help of the Armory, but the Armory’s deeper agenda endangered Bonnie’s life. To remedy the crisis, Damon and Enzo entered the Armory’s occult vault. The triangle of Stefan, Caroline and Alaric will team up with Bonnie in season eight to search for the two most important men in her life – even though Damon and Enzo may be long past saving.
