The Vampire Diaries has come to an end - The CW hit just aired the final episode of its eight-season run - but that doesn't mean the story is over.

吸血鬼日记　前不久迎来了最终章，CW电视台播出了该剧第八季大结局，但是，这并不意味着故事的结束。

Co-creator Julie Plec tells The Hollywood Reporter that she already has an idea for another TVD spinoff.

该剧联合制作人朱莉•普利克对 好莱坞报道　表示，她已经萌生了拍另一部 吸血鬼日记　衍生剧的想法(第一部衍生剧 始祖家族　于2013年开播)。

Friday's series finale alluded to "another story" for character Caroline Forbes (Candice King), who ends up opening a school for supernatural children like her own - funded by none other than her former love, Klaus (Joseph Morgan).

While the duo will not interact on the upcoming season of The Originals, they potentially could in the future.

周五的大结局中提到了另一故事”中的人物——拥有超能力的卡罗琳•福布斯(坎迪斯•金)，她最终为和自己一样的孩子们开办了一所学校，资助人正是她的前男友克劳斯(约瑟夫•摩根)。

尽管两人不会在即将播出的 始祖家族　中互动，但未来也许有可能。

"Obviously our timelines did not match up, so Caroline and Klaus are not coming face-to-face in this season.

That being said, we do have crossover elements in the upcoming season of The Originals that's about to start airing, and it all brings it back to what I see as a future for either The Originals or another piece of the franchise to launch off of the end of The Originals.

So I look forward to being able to play around in that sandbox and see if I can make something of it," says Plec.

我们的时间线明显不匹配，所以卡罗琳和克劳斯不会在这一季碰面。

话虽如此，但即将播出的新一季 始祖家族　中的确会出现两人的交集，这其实都是 始祖家族　和另一部衍生剧在未来剧情中需要探讨的东西，我很期待能够就此展开，看看自己能写出什么来。

”While Plec isn't actively working on the spinoff, she does plan to start after she takes a break.

"There's a lot of different things floating around in my head," she tells THR, "and the first thing I'm going to do is not write and take a vacation.

And then, when I come back on the other side of that, I'm going to go back to work.

"普利克还没有着手制作衍生剧，她打算休息一段时间再开工。

我脑海中浮现了各种各样的事情，第一件要做的事情是不写作、放个假。

当我再回来的时候，我会开始工作。

”The CW president Mark Pedowitz told THR this week that the fate of The Originals is not tied to TVD, so the show could potentially continue beyond the upcoming season.

"Look, the show stands on its own.

We have not premiered it yet; it's a week away," he said.

"This will be a decision we make in the May scheduling.

But I hope to be able to announce at the May upfront that it's returning.

That's my hope.

"CW电视台总裁马克•佩德维兹本周对 好莱坞报道　称， 始祖家族　不受 吸血鬼日记　的影响，所以新一季之后还可以继续。

他说：这是一部独立电视剧，新的一季目前还没有首映。

还有一周的时间。

我们打算5月份决定这件事，但是我希望能在5月这部剧回归之前公布消息。

这是我的期望。

”As for the second spinoff, he added, "Julie and I have only had casual discussions about it.

I actually guessed what her plans were in one of our casual discussions.

I saw them coming.

I think that is a discussion that we can have as we go into development.

I think she had it set up the right way.

"至于第二部衍生剧，他说：朱莉和我只是闲聊过这个话题。

事实上，我已经在谈话中猜到了她的打算。

我看到了新剧在招手。

随着进一步的发展，我认为这是一个可以探讨的话题。

我想她已经找到合适的方式了。

”To clarify: He's not ruling anything out.

澄清：他不排除任何可能性。
