Set in The Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted, and within "The Vampire Diaries" universe, LEGACIES tells the ongoing story of a new generation of supernatural students as they learn what it means to be special in a world that wouldn't understand their gifts. In season two, Hope Mikaelson returned to a world that had forgotten she ever existed and reunited with her former Headmaster, Alaric Saltzman. Working together, Hope and Dr. Saltzman ultimately rejoined The Salvatore School to lead their Super Squad of powerful vampires, witches and werewolves, including Lizzie & Josie Saltzman, MG, Rafael and Kaleb and even a Phoenix, her true love Landon, into battle against a dizzying horde of fantastic and deadly monsters birthed from the Malivore Pit ... and their old nemesis, The Necromancer, who was determined to resurrect Malivore. As season three begins, Hope has risked everything to pull her friends back from the brink of a monstrous prophecy that threatened to doom them all. But when a heartbreaking loss shatters her whole world, Hope Mikaelson will be forced to fight fate itself.[4]
There was a genuine connection between her and Alaric, and it would be nice for them to pick back up where they left off, but her departure feels like the farewell between seasons that means the actress is probably gone.
She built a connection with him over three seasons, and if someone on the outside is picking up on him being completely different, then she's in denial because she's so scared at the thought of losing him.
Season 2 of the series, which centers on a boarding school for people with supernatural powers, ended early because of the coronavirus, and its final four episodes were pushed into the third season. Luckily, we had left off with some pretty tantalizing cliffhangers, and this premiere gets right to some answers.
Also, as you may have now heard, Legacies season 4 will be the final season of the show. It was axed alongside other major titles from The CW including Roswell, New Mexico, In The Dark, and Legends of Tomorrow.
That usually means the show comes to Netflix around 8-9 days after the season finale but that was not the case for season 3 as we mentioned above. Twenty episodes of Legacies season 4 are planned with the season finale now due to air on June 16th, 2022. That means we were expecting season 4 of Legacies on Netflix in the United States on June 24th, 2022.
That turns out to not be the case, however as it seems that Legacies is getting an early arrival on Netflix US. A notice is now showing on the Netflix page showing that Legacies season 4 arrives on June 3rd, 2022.
Landon's still dead for some reason, and Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) never woke back up after her trip into Josie's subconscious. Once again, a season of Legacies is starting off without its hero tri-brid, and her absence is certainly felt, though that cliffhanger was not originally designed as the season two finale.
Basically, the first "chapter" of season three is the resolution of season two storylines, and episode four is the finale we would have gotten last year. It had to be adjusted a bit to be COVID-safe and to fit into the middle of a season instead of the end, but Matthews said it's definitely a "larger" episode than usual. Post-COVID Legacies will then actually start with episode five.
E!: Josie literally murdered a classmate last season and tried to kill and absorb her sister, so how are Josie and Lizzie moving on from that? How is Josie facing the rest of the school?
Matthews: That will have a huge impact on Raf's story and that story will unfold at the beginning of this season. It certainly raises some frightening questions and that will certainly be a very big part of the beginning of the season.
Matthews: He's just a character we love. The Necromancer has launched this grand plan, and part of what we love about the Necromancer is, you know, do we call him the Necromancer or do we call him Ted, because now we know his human side? He is obviously up to no good on a scale the likes of which he has never been able to achieve before, so we will be resolving that storyline in the first chapter of season three. That will really be something that puts our characters to the test and have a profound impact on the whole season three. He will certainly be a central figure, but there will also be some new and exciting mythology starting this season as well. 041b061a72
