Kat Graham Will Exit 'Vampire Diaries' Following Eighth Season

Kat Graham has announced that season eight of The Vampire Diaries will be her last.

The 26-year-old actress told Us Weekly at the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday (April 5) that she will be leaving the show.

“I just hope that whatever I do after, the crew can come with me,” Kat said. “If the crew can come with me, then we’ll be good. The crew is going to be the hardest thing to let go, because we are a family.”

She added, “You know what, another season is a whole other year, and we’re going to blow it out.”

Kat has played witch Bonnie Bennett on the series since its first episode in 2009.
