Season 6 Synopsis Revealed!

The Vampire Diaries Spoilers: Season 6 Synopsis Revealed!

We may be a few weeks out from the Season 6 premiere of The Vampire Diaries — mark your calendars for October 2 — but thankfully The CW has released the synopsis for the upcoming season. What can you expect to go down this year? Read on for all the details!Here it is, straight from The CW:

“Now, months after this devastating tragedy, everyone is dealing with the loss of their loved ones [Damon Salvatore and Bonnie Bennett] in different ways, some more destructively than others. What happened to Bonnie and Damon, and if they can even be saved, remains a mystery. Meanwhile, their beloved hometown of Mystic Falls continues to be a magic-free zone, protected by a mysterious new community watch program. If there’s any hope of salvaging their former lives, our heroes must find a way to push through their grief and band together. This season will explore themes of loss, denial, and what it means to move on in the face of immortality, ultimately begging the age-old question — can you ever really go home again?”

Wowza, this season description certainly packs a punch! We already know that the gang will be taking Damon and Bonnie’s loss in different ways — Stefan Salvatore has fled his friends and has anew girlfriend, Caroline Forbes is trying to bring everyone back together, and Elena Gilbert has a “witchy drug problem” — but it seems like the underlying storyline is the quest to go back to Mystic Falls.

We can’t wait to see what happens when the show returns in just a few weeks, let’s just hope our heroes can find each other, band together, and retake their home once more!

The Vampire Diaries Season 6 premieres Thursday, October 2, at 8 p.m. ET on The CW
