Given that we're still waiting to see how the second season plays out in its entirety, plot details for Legacies' third season are pretty slim at the moment. However, in her Twitter Q&A, Julie PLec did drop a few breadcrumbs for us to nibble on while we wait to see how things unfold. Questioned about whether the third season will see a return of the monsters that have been terrorizing Salvatore High, or if we'll get an all new set of villains, Plec replied, "both."
As for the fate of one particular monster, Plec had some exciting news. On season 2's seventh episode, a Sphinx appears in Mystic Falls and wreaks havoc with its ability to see into the future. The Sphinx delivers a mysterious and inscrutable prophecy to our heroes, which fans have already been trying to decipher. When a Twitter fan bemoaned that viewers had yet to see how big of a role this cryptic villain will play in the future, Plec promised, "You will eventually!"
Finally, we got some good news regarding Salvatore Boarding School's headmaster and The Vampire Diaries alum Alaric "Ric" Saltzman (Matt Davis). Fans of the franchise know that poor Ric has had a rough go of it in the love department, starting at the beginning of The Vampire Diaries when his wife was turned into a vampire and was then compelled to kill herself by an evil warlock. One concerned fan posed the question, "Will Alaric ever have a proper date?" — to which Plec emphatically replied, "YES."
