The eighth – and final – season of “The Vampire Diaries” kicks off tonight with Episode 8.01, “Hello, Brother”; and finally The CW has unveiled the season’s official artwork. Along with that, we have an “inside” look at the episode plus video interviews with the Salvatore brothers, portrayed of course by Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder.
So, what say you guys? Excited for the final season? Glad it’s ending soon? We’re just happy that exec producer Kevin Williamson is back to work with Julie Plec on the show’s end game, which means we could see some hints of its former glory in the early days when he was still hands-on.

Meanwhile, a dangerous encounter with an unexpected visitor leaves Caroline (Candice King) and Alaric (Matt Davis) fearing that someone – or something – may be targeting their family.
Finally, after following some mysterious clues, Stefan realizes that whatever has a hold of his brother may have a more damaging grip over him than he could have ever imagined. Michael Allowitz directed the episode written by Julie Plec & Kevin Williamson.
