“It’s time for him to go out and live his life,” executive producer Julie Plec tells EW.com. “He’s growing up and moving on. He will be out living a real life.”

Jeremy’s exit comes as the show is “moving towards the end,” the EP explains. “Over the course of the next few years, we will need to start having the characters make choices about what they want with their lives and [we will] say goodbye to some people. It’s all part of moving toward the end, however long that takes.”

As a result, she added, Jeremy will be leaving town once again and going to “another place” — art school!

Maybe this is an indication of him getting the role of Nightwing in Titans? clear speculation on my part, but that would be awesome.

He’s been pushing for that role for ages, so now that titans is a go, it’s more than a little suspicious.

I am disgusted that this trash will finish with more episodes than Buffy

COMPLETELY ADORE YOU ! for that comment lol WELL SAID !! :D

Apples and oranges. There’s no comparing the two. Different networks. Different heads of scheduling. Different eras. This argument is moot.

..if you are here contributing on a TVD forum it means you love the ‘trash’ so shush!

I will miss his arms very, very much.

Art school, according to what Julie Plec told TVGuide.

Haha yea thats what I’m thinking. Hopefully its true!

Good. Hopefully Steven has something already lined up that won’t waste him.

Cough-Nightwing-cough,When does TNT do the TCA Panel this week?It just might be the right time to announce it,BTW,today is my birthday,so being. The Bat-fan that I am,this is great news!

And he is one of the good ones, sigh. “over the course of the next few years” good grief….they ran out of good story ideas a long time ago.

I’ve always thought that he should have stayed dead. Not that I watch anymore. But I wish good luck for Steven.

Nightwing is coming to Arrow, The Flash or the Upcoming Supergirl Series. It’s time CW people.

Years???? Hell. No. Season 7 is the final season. Julie Plec said when Elena became a Vampire, that was the half way point for their story. They should definitely be done by the end of Season 7.

Will def miss Jer, as long as he makes an appearance here & there that should be fine. Looking forward to seeing him in other roles. I doubt TVD will go past s7

I don’t think he will be very missed he’s hardly in the show much like Bonnie who is one of my favorites and this season has been very blah..

Sending Steven R. McQueen postive vibes. I hope he ends up becoming Dick Grayson.

I’m glad for him! Jeremy deserves it. It’s how I wish Matt had gone off to Europe with Rebekah and just stayed over there; settle in a new city, settle down with a nice girl, live his life.

He may have been officially a full time cast member but his storyline was non existent!!!
