They have flashbacks and things like that. Because there’s this luscious backstory that, in the books, they reveal as the story progresses. We don’t actually start where the books kick off we start a little bit before that. What kicks off the events of Vampire Academy in the show? We had beautiful, beautiful locations – and then obviously this gorgeous cast. We’ll take that castle.” They were thick on the ground. Julie would make the joke of, “Which castle are we going to today? The third one on the left we like. Then we had great partners who allowed us to go to Spain and shoot. Once I saw all that beautiful underpinnings of “Why now?” and this really specific, unique world with different vampire rules, I was like, “Okay!” You could just see it. But it’s very timely, because it’s about a system that’s not working and a lot of people realizing things are unfair. There’s action, there’s passion, there’s romance. It was like, “How do we do this again and make it special and fresh?”Īnd then I reread the books and was like, “Wow, they are beautiful.” Richelle Mead wrote a beautiful, interesting, deep class system issues. Same thing I worked on the first season of Legacies very funny, different tone. I loved writing on Originals, and that was a very different tone.

She’s been brilliant at making Vampire Diaries one beautiful tone. You want to do it?”Īnd the way she tells it, I’m like, “Vampires? Why?!” And that is not exactly true. And so she was like, “Hey, I have Vampire Academy. I’d gone on to do Originals and Legacies, and there had been a lot of vampires in my life. I didn’t remember more than that I liked them and they were vampires, but I knew she loved them and she’d wanted to do them all these years.

She was reading this book series right when they came out it was before Vampire Diaries ever happened. We had done all these shows together and, back in the day when we were vacationing a million years ago, when we were doing Kyle XY… Back in the day, the no belly button show. So I’m glad she’s here, because she always tells the story. Marguerite MacIntyre: Julie tells this story in a very mean way. Marguerite, this is the return to vampires. Sisi Stringer: Why not? We’re here to challenge the system! Give her an Oscar for a YA television show.
