Primary
Legacies is a supernatural teen drama that primarily focuses on character development, relationships, and action within a fantasy setting, rather than promoting specific political ideologies. It balances themes of inclusivity and found family with those of tradition and individual responsibility without leaning definitively left or right.
The series features a visibly diverse cast, introducing new characters from various backgrounds. However, its narrative does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities, maintaining a generally neutral stance on such themes.
Secondary
Legacies offers a largely positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters, featuring openly bisexual and gay individuals whose relationships are depicted with dignity and complexity. Their identities are integrated naturally into the story, serving as sources of character development and love rather than conflict or degradation.
The show features Hope Mikaelson, a powerful supernatural being, who frequently engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat against multiple male opponents, including vampires and various monsters, utilizing her enhanced strength and combat skills.
Legacies is a spin-off continuing the stories of established characters and introducing new ones. All returning characters maintain their original canonical genders, and no new portrayals alter the gender of any character previously established in the source material or prior installments.
Legacies primarily features new characters or continues the portrayal of established characters from The Vampire Diaries and The Originals with actors of the same race. No canonical characters were recast with actors of a different race.
