With Legacies, a spinoff of The Vampire Diaries, ending in 2022, many of the cast are off to expand their careers, which means new shows and movies with the Legacies cast. Some actors are blossoming into big stars following their run on the CW series while others are starting to carve out their careers with strong performances in lesser-known indie roles.
Regardless of where their respective careers are heading, the show helped prove that every member of the cast was talented and has an exciting future in the industry. Since the planned Legacies season 5 was ultimately canceled and the series concluded with season 4, these upcoming movies and shows with the Legacies cast are the best place to see them.
Courtney Bandeko - Alask'Car
A recurring character starting with season 3 of Legacies, Courtney Bandeko played Finch Tarrayo, a student at Mystic Falls High School. Finch eventually joined the Salvatore School after being outed as a werewolf by Lizzie Saltzman and formed a romance with Lizzie's sister Josie. An upcoming role for her is the comedy TV series, Alask'Car, directed by Ron Carlson; Bandeko plays Mandy Warhol. This film follows a car dealership owner, who is focused on his TV commercials, taking on the responsibility of teaching his naive niece how to navigate the world. Bandeko has also appeared in the CW's All American since Legacies wrapped.
Nick Fink - Dad's Party
When he first appears, Ryan Clarke is seemingly a good guy but it is later revealed that he has an unfortunate connection to both Malivore and Landon, making him a major Legacies villain. Clarke was played by Nick Fink and he's one of the Legacies cast members with an upcoming role, landing the part of Peter Barrows in the film Dad's Party. It's about the birthday party of a family patriarch that gets dragged down by confrontations among family members and acquaintances.
Zane Phillips - Glamorous
Zane Phillips played Ben, the Legacies version of Prometheus and now self-proclaimed demigod. He first appeared in season 4 and played this recurring character for 11 total episodes, so while he wasn't a major part of the show, he was pivotal while he was around. Philips is among those listed to appear in the new TV drama, Glamorous. There isn't anything known about his role yet but the series is about a gender non-conforming queer person who lands a job working for a makeup mogul.
Chris Lee - Single Car Crashes
Chris Lee played the powerful vampire Kaleb Hawkins, who attended the Salvatore boarding school. He started out as a recurring character but was promoted to the main cast and became one of the most important parts of the show. Lee landed a role in the upcoming film Single Car Crashes, directed by Brittani Ward. Not much else is known about the film but Lee is also focused on his singing career. He showed off those talents in an episode of Legacies and once had a role in Hamilton.
Karen David - Isabel's Garden
Karen David's character, Emma Tig is a witch and former guidance counselor for the school, hired by Alaric Saltzman. While Karen was only in a handful of episodes, her persuasiveness led to Hope Mikaelson's enrollment in the school. As a continuation of her acting career, Karen David is set to star in Isabel's Garden as Maya in a story about a woman who has her life turned upside down after someone she loves is killed in an accident. David also had a longstanding role on Fear the Walking Dead.
Matthew Davis - Blunt
Nobody was part of The Vampire Diaries universe for longer than Alaric Saltzman, who debuted back in season 1 of that show in 2009 and stuck around until the end of Legacies. Played by Matthew Davis, the character has become iconic. Davis has been a consistently appearing actor since the early '00s and has landed another role in Blunt, an upcoming film about a trapped single mom who must piece together clues to escape her captors. He plays Matt Reynolds and his co-stars include Amy Smart, Billy Zane, and singer Ne-Yo.
Omono Okojie - The Entertainers
Omono Okojie played the recurring witch turned main character, Cleo Sowande. She first appeared in episode 6 of season 3, but after being freed from the artifact she enrolled in the Salvatore Boarding School and befriended Hope Mikaelson. Okojie plays a small role in this new comedy film starring, directed, and written by Christopher High of the Hip Photographer. The Entertainers is based on an Adirondack woman daring to demonstrate what "aspirational" means on social media. She stars alongside Monica Baker, Nick Zephyrin, and Eshan Misra in this upcoming film about social media and the internet.
Aria Shahghasemi - The Snag
For the duration of the series, Aria Shahghasemi played Landon Kirby, the main love interest of protagonist Hope Mikaelson. He was the rare character on the show who was actually introduced back in The Originals and he was revealed to be the first phoenix of the franchise. Shahghasemi has wrapped production on what could be a huge role, portraying the head chef in a miniseries titled The Snag, which focuses on a trio of petty thieves who get in over their heads during a heist.
Kaylee Bryant - Spin The Bottle
Kaylee Bryant was one of the main trio of the show, playing Josie Saltzman; the brilliant daughter of Alaric Saltzman. Bryant was the first main actor to depart the show, doing so ahead of the series finale. After finishing her main role, Kaylee Bryant has lined up a part in the horror film Spin the Bottle, which sees the party game unleash a deadly force on a small town. Her character is named Kasey and she'll be starring alongside veterans Ali Larter and Justin Long.
Kaylee Bryant - The Locksmith
Leaving the series a bit early has likely helped Kaylee Bryant get a bit of a jump in nabbing new roles as she has another project that is actually just arriving. That is The Locksmith, which is directed by Nicolas Harvard. The film follows a thief straight out of prison and uses his skills as a gifted locksmith to get back into the lives of his daughter and ex-fiance. Bryant plays Tanya Saunders and is joined by veteran performers Ryan Phillippe, Kate Bosworth, and Ving Rhames.
