4Liz Forbes Supernatural Procedural

Despite presenting some plot problems, a show about Caroline’s mother Liz could be a hit.

If everyone is unforced to accept a convoluted alternate timeline or soft retcon scenario , a show about a young Liz Forbes becoming sheriff and dealing with supernatural threats of the week would be awe-inspiring .

A spinoff about Caroline ’s mother Elizabeth " Liz " Forbes ( Marguerite MacIntyre ) would confessedly require a lot of plot gymnastic exercise . Liz passes out from cancer inThe Vampire Diariesseason 6 , and there is nothing to hint that she was always address with supernatural cases before the Salvatores give back to Mystic Falls .

3More Adventures From Damon Salvatore

There is still time from Damon’s life as a vampire that hasn’t been shown.

Damon Salvatore will always be able to carry more plot of ground through sheer charismaand a knack for discover trouble . Episodes from his 150 year as a lamia weave their way into the show , but there is still downtime that could be the basis of more stories . However , there are some possible pit to a Damon prequel show . Damon ’s character development is stagnant in this time yoke because he is principally being destructive while he waits for the chance to dislodge Katherine . to boot , his most compelling electric discharge is his family relationship with his blood brother , which could only be used minimally .

2The Life & Times Of Katherine Pierce

Fans will always want to see more of the infamous Katherine Pierce.

Like Damon , Katherine ( also played by Dobrev ) is an alluring personnel of nature who dominatesThe Vampire Diaries . Katherine spend 500 years on the streamlet from the original , and there were probable some close calls in that time . Her exploits of evading seizure and after , keeping tab on Stefan , could be turned into a villainous protagonist show . Katherine ’s show can also be used as a vehicle to show many different historical periods and location around the world , as well as introduce plenty of new hold characters .

Stories from the behind the conniption of The Vampire Diaries bring out how the show could have been different with an even bigger nidus on the Romance language .

1Bonnie & The Bennett Witches

Bonnie’s story is open-ended and the Bennett witch line promises many amazing characters.

Bonnie and the chronicle of the Bennett witches is probably the most promising idea for a spinoff of The Vampire Diaries .

The Vampire Diaries’endingalso show Bonnie taking off on an undefendable - ended adventure , with the ghost of her beau Enzo ( Michael Malarkey ) speaking to her and the story of centuries of hefty witches lifting her up . Bonnie ’s continued fib would likely show her face ( and defeat ) more villains and study more about her ancestors . Bonnie ’s meeting with Lucy Bennet ( Natashia Williams ) in season 2 , instalment 7 seems to cod this thought , as Bonnie is proud of to find out about the range of the Bennett beldame line .

Several Bennett witch appear in the show , each with a compelling tale to tell : Katherine ’s companion Emily ( Bianca Lawson ) , eighteenth - one C witch Beatrice ( Jaz Sinclair ) , Bonnie ’s own grandmother Shelia ( Jasmine Guy ) , and more . Despite Emily being burn at the wager by the Founding Families , the Bennett family remained in Mystic Falls for hundreds of age and in all likelihood know more about the town ’s supernatural ephemera than the Founders . Bonnie and the account of the Bennett enchantress is plausibly the most promising approximation for a spinoff ofThe Vampire Diaries .
