Though the series ran for a whole, there were still plenty of storylines that could have and should have happened. One of those storylines I wish happened was a crossover with <em>The Vampire Diaries<\/em>, something that had been discussed in the past by both shows&#8217; creative teams. However, TVD co-creator Julie Plec shared her reason for turning it down, and I understand it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Julie Plec Shares Her Rationale For Denying The Crossover<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Throughout the two CW shows\u2019 respective runs, fans wondered if the Winchester brothers would ever cross paths with the Salvatore siblings, especially since they were on the same network and were in the same genre. Via <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/1213966\/the-vampire-diaries-supernatural-crossover-turned-down-reason-julie-plec\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TV Insider;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TV Insider<\/a>, Plec shared in the new book <em>I Was Feeling Epic: An Oral History of The Vampire Diaries<\/em> that she didn\u2019t think it made sense at the time when the network approached the creators about a crossover.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At that point, <em>Supernatural <\/em>was in its fifth season, while <em>Vampire Diaries <\/em>was just starting out and being <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/television\/the-vampire-diaries-ian-somerhalder-reflects-on-how-twilights-success-impacted-the-tv-drama\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:impacted by Twilight's success;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">impacted by <em>Twilight<\/em>&#8216;s success<\/a>. Plec admitted, however, that her tune would have changed had the request come in later:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">By the way, if that same request had come my way in Season 7, I would\u2019ve been like, \u2018F**k yeah.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s interesting to learn that Plec\u2019s mindset changed as TVD went on, even despite initially refusing because the mythology was so different. She even admitted in 2019 that a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/television\/2478120\/legacies-and-supernatural-could-absolutely-have-a-crossover-according-to-julie-plec\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:crossover between Supernatural and Legacies could happen;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">crossover between <em>Supernatural <\/em>and <em>Legacies <\/em>could happen<\/a>. That particular mashup would have been entertaining, not only because both shows were so big at the time but because they also represented two different worlds. Even the casts previously discussed the possibility of that crossover happening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But that doesn\u2019t mean it would have been a good idea. At the very least, a <em>Supernatural <\/em>and <em>TVD<\/em> <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/television\/2494820\/why-legends-of-tomorrows-supernatural-crossover-will-be-surprisingly-dangerous\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:crossover \u00e0 la Legends of Tomorrow;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">crossover \u00e0 la <em>Legends of Tomorrow<\/em><\/a> would have also been fun.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Why A Vampire Diaries\/Supernatural Crossover Wouldn\u2019t Have Worked<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As a fan of both <em>Vampire Diaries<\/em> and <em>Supernatural<\/em>, I would have loved nothing more than for the two to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/television\/1677320\/stephen-amell-really-wants-that-arrow-and-supernatural-crossover-so-lets-make-it-happen\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:cross paths with one another;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">cross paths with one another<\/a>. However, aside from the fact that <em>TVD <\/em>filmed in Georgia while SPN filmed in Vancouver, mythos-wise, it would have been hard to explain some details. For instance, at the time of <em>Supernatural<\/em>\u2019s fifth season, the series was focusing heavily on the devil and Hell and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The show was also setting up what would have been the final episodes of the series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Additionally, <em>Supernatural <\/em>has basically every form of otherworldly creature you can think of, including actual mythological gods and the actual God. TVD, on the other hand, does have its fair share of creatures such as vampires, werewolves and witches, among a few others. However, demons and Hell weren&#8217;t really tackled. The show did branch out, adding more creatures as it went on. That may or may not explain why Plec wouldn\u2019t have minded doing a crossover towards the end. Still, she was right to decline at first.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Alas, with <em>Supernatural <\/em>done and <em>The Vampire Diaries <\/em>seemingly at an end as well now, a crossover doesn&#8217;t seem to be in the cards. However, considering how beloved both shows are, it wouldn\u2019t be surprising if they were to be <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/vampire-diaries-julie-plec-weighs-213000556.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:revived in some way;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">revived in some way<\/a> (and I don&#8217;t mean as a prequel like <em>The Winchesters<\/em>) down the road.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
