The Vampire Diaries seasons one to eight are now available to watch on UK Netflix for fans of the teen supernatural drama to enjoy. However, if you’ve already finished your binge of the vampire show, Express.co.uk has rounded up some other series you may enjoy.
Teen Wolf
Where to watch: Netflix
Teen Wolf shares a lot in common with The Vampire Diaries as another long-running supernatural teen drama.
However, instead of vampires, the series focuses on a group of teenage werewolves.
The series follows Tyler Posey as a young werewolf called Scott McCall who must navigate high school while protecting his town from supernatural threats.
Alongside Posey, other actors like Crystal Reed, Dylan O’Brien, Tyler Hoechlin and Colton Haynes all also starred.
The Originals
Where to watch: Netflix
The Originals was one of the many spin-off series to emerge from The Vampire Diaries.
This show focused on villain Klaus (played by Joseph Morgan) and his family of ancient vampires.
Leaving Mystic Falls for New Orleans, the show followed him after the werewolf he slept with once, Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin), falls pregnant with his child.
The show ran for five seasons in total and featured a lot of characters from the original show.
V Wars
Where to watch: Netflix
If you’re after seeing more of Damon star Ian Somerhalder, then Netflix’s V Wars will likely be right up your alley.
The show was based on the comic book by Jonathan Maberry and is another take on the vampire story.
This version follows physician Dr Luther Swann as he attempts to find a cure for vampirism after his best friend is turned into one.
Sadly the series was short-lived and was cancelled on Netflix after only one season.

True Blood
Where to watch: NOW TV
If you’re looking for more vampire-themed television series, True Blood was one of the most highly acclaimed.
The HBO series began with the premise of a telepathic waitress called Sookie (Anna Paquin) falling for vampire Bill (Stephen Moyer).
However, the show is a lot darker than The Vampire Diaries, with graphic sex and highly violent scenes.
Viewers can watch seasons one to seven of the show on Sky’s streaming platform NOW TV until September.
Shadowhunters
Where to watch: Netflix
Much like The Vampire Diaries, Shadowhunters was also based on a much-loved young adult series of books.
The supernatural show is all about Clary Fray (Katherine McNamara) who finds out she is actually an angelic warrior called a shadowhunter.
She is dragged into a world of demons, fairies and werewolves, all while navigating her growing feelings for Jace Wayland (Dominic Sherwood).
The show ran for three seasons on Freeform but won many more viewers when it was released on Netflix.
The Vampire Diaries is available to watch on Netflix now.
