Plec even likened the brutal CW cancellations to the “Game of Thrones” Red Weddingon Twitter.

Plec and Marguerite MacIntyre initially worked together when MacIntyre played Sheriff Forbes in “The Vampire Diaries.”

“Nothing could soften the blow of ‘Legacies,’ meaning its untimely demise,” she said.

“This particular story appealed to me, as Julie said, because I loved in the books.

This class system that is really not cool.

It’s falling apart,” MacIntyre explained.

“It’s stressing everyone, and it’s so relevant right now.

While the interview took place before September 8, the story is more relevant now than ever.

MacIntyre added, “This feels like the best time.

We get to say something really relevant while having castles and all the things.

It was a pretty perfect opportunity.”
