ITV has confirmed within the last few days that The Vampire Diaries: Season 8 will return from its mid-season break on ITV2 in the UK, although it will be at the very late time of 11.55pm on Tuesday night, March 14th 2017. Even though everyone in the UK has had to wait since December 21st 2016 for the eighth episode of season 8 titled We Have History Together to air; we can now rejoice in the knowledge that we finally get to see the last nine episodes of our favourite television series and find out exactly how Nina returns as both Elena Gilbert and Katherine Pierce in the season finale.

Just make sure to avoid spoilers as the final-ever episode of The Vampire Diaries will air in America on The CW on Friday, March 10th 2017.
