Ian Somerhalder plays the lead character of Damon Salvatore in "The Vampire Diaries."

"The Vampire Diaries" was recently renewed by The CW for season 8.

According to TV Line, "The Vampire Diaries" is just one of the ten other shows that have been renewed by the network for their 2016 to 2017 lineup.

Following the announcement, fans couldn't help but express their excitement over the fact that they will still see their favorite characters for at least another season.

On Design N Trend's website, one fan @Aliya Naushad Ali wrote, "I am absolutely happy they renewed TVD and TO... you can't let go of the vamps... I wish they could go on and on..."

Another fan @prettylittlelairs666 wrote, "Vampire diaries and the originals are best shows ever I love them. Let's hope Vampire diaries gets renewed for 9th season. The originals renewed for 5th season."

One fan @Lemo wrote, "I hope vampire diaries n originals never end!!! Love love love them. Best 2 shows ever!!"

Another fan @KLoco wrote, "I can't imagine anyone not being happy that TVD and The Originals were renewed. I think there is so much potential now that Nina Dobrev is gone. Don't get me wrong, I was a big Delena fan and I do see them as endgame BUT I was a little tired of the entire show being based around her."

Meanwhile, there were also some fans who were clearly unhappy with the renewal news.

@JJ wrote, "I was surprised it was renewed, though maybe it's only for half a season to wrap things up. This season was so all over the place and ratings are as low as ever. They haven't had an interesting antagonist in a while. To be honest, I'll be surprised if I'm still watching until next season."

Another fan @hallie24 wrote, "Clearly a lot of fans are over TVD. I find it sad that they will run a once great show into the ground. The show has gone from a .09 in season 1 to being lucky if they pull up .04. I am afraid how bad next season will run them."

Do you think the series should have been renewed for season 8?

"The Vampire Diaries" season 7 airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
