The pretty bad pilot for Vampire Diaries still had the brotherly bond/rivalry between Stefan and Damon and the whole mortal/immortal romance thing the kids love so much. What it doesn’t do effectively is provide a juicy hook for the series. (Quincy Fouse) and self-described “evil temptress” Penelope (Lulu Antariksa). It turns out, though, that he and Hope have a bit of a past, and he’s unexpectedly difficult to brainwash.įor the most part, the pilot is spent getting viewers up to speed on the school and a few of its diverse pupils including Alaric’s daughters Josie (Kaylee Bryant) and Lizzy (Jenny Boyd), pop culture-quoting vampire M.G. Landon, none of the three, is just there to temporarily accompany Rafael before having his mind erased. The Salvatore School is a refuge for kids with supernatural gifts, with a special focus on vampires, witches and werewolves. Rafael and Landon are plucked by Alaric Saltzman (Matt Davis) and Hope Mikaelson (Danielle Rose Russell) and whisked off to the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted on the outskirts of good ol’ Mystic Falls. There’s something lurking in Rafael, and an attempted exorcism quickly reveals him to be a werewolf. Scripted by The Vampire Diaries mastermind Julie Plec, Legacies begins two years after the conclusion of The Originals, jumping right into things as young Rafael (Peyton Alex Smith) shows up at an Atlanta church accompanied by friend and foster brother Landon (Aria Shahghasemi).
