Created by Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson, The Vampire Diaries has been a fan favorite and popular show ever since the first season was released on September 10th, 2009. It kept its place as one of the most popular teen series during the past couple of decades.

The show follows the life of a 17-year-old girl, Elena Gilbert (played by Nina Dobrev), who loses both of her parents in a car accident. She then falls in love with a 162-year-old vampire, Stefan Salvatore (played by Paul Wesley) and his 170-year-old brother Damon Salvatore (played by Ian Somerholder). The 2 brothers struggle to protect Elena from numerous villains and threats through Mystic Falls.

Since all 8 seasons of the show have been released on Netflix and the show wrapped up in 2017, there has been some removal of the show in different Netflix regions.

On January 1st, 2022, three regions that have removed the show include: Netflix Australia, Netflix Germany, and Netflix Switzerland.
