tells the story of supernatural beings trying to survive in a town called Mystic Falls. The show’s love stories and action has pulled viewers in, and it doesn’t hurt that the series has one of the most attractive casts on television. So it makes sense that we will miss watching them every week when the show ends after its eighth season. But this isn’t the end of the road for the actors’ careers. Here’s what’s next for the cast of the show.

Fan favorite Damon Salvatore is sarcastic and dark, but has a romantic side. The actor has really drawn in fans, and even directed a few episodes of the show. He also has been a huge driving force of the show along with actor Paul Wesley.

, the creator of the show, Julie Plec said she would continue the show as long as Somerhalder and Wesley stayed on. So it’s not shocking that the show is ending now that the actors are done with it. Somerhalder opened up about what the role meant to him.

I’m so very grateful to those who fought for me to have this opportunity (you know who you are), for those that have worked so hard to make this show happen, and to those that have loyally watched it, making it part of their lives. This show has enriched my life greater than anything I’ve done in my career and it will live in my heart. We are a family and I will miss you. Thank you again to this amazing cast and crew, Kevin, Julie, Warner Bros., The CW and the most loyal fan base the world has ever seen. Wow, what a ride.

So will Somerhalder work in front or behind the camera after the show? He finished a movie called 

where he plays a secret agent on a mission. Hopefully this means we’ll be seeing the actor more on the big-screen.
