Nina Dobrev Was Asked If She'd Ever Join "Vampire Diaries" Spinoff "Legacies"

There's plenty of familiar faces who have shown up on The Vampire Diaries spinoff Legacies since it premiered in October. But, crucially, the one person fans might be most excited to see more of — Nina Dobrev, reprising her TVD role as Elena — might not happen anytime soon.

When TV Guide asked her recently if she'd ever return to Legacies, Nina Dobrev opened up, saying, "I have a full-time job [working on the CBS sitcom Fam], so I don't know that I can."

But, Nina did offer that she was excited to see what the show would develop into, continuing, "But I'm excited and happy to see that the show is living on, and it's a testament to the show itself that people love it so much and have a hunger for it and have an appetite that they need to satiate. So spinoff after spinoff — that means it's a good thing... Julie Plec is the new Shonda Rhimes; she has like 95,000 shows on the air. She's a force."

So, sadly, the chances of seeing Elena again are slim, but as Nina referenced in her comments to TV Guide, it's not like you won't be able to see her on TV at all. Nina is currently starring on the CBS comedy Fam, which follows the story of a young woman who moves in with her older sister (played by Nina) and her sister's fiancé. If you still feel yourself dying to see more from Nina, then you're in luck because her IMDb tells us that she has two films coming out soon, Run This Town and Lucky Day, so hopefully that can help ease the pain of not seeing Elena on Legacies (for the moment, anyway).

Hopefully.
