Virtual HH with

We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to BYO-drink or snack to our spooky TVD-themed Virtual Happy Hour, and chat with Samantha Highfill, ATX TV Festival Moderator, Executive Editor at Entertainment Weekly, and author of I Was Feeling Epic: An Oral History of The Vampire Diaries.

I Was Feeling Epic takes us back to Mystic Falls for every first kiss, decade dance, and unforgettable death. With brand-new interviews from cast and creatives like Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, Kat Graham, Candice King, Joseph Morgan, Michael Trevino, Zach Roerig, Michael Malarkey, Julie Plec, Kevin Williamson, and so many more, I Was Feeling Epic relives the show’s best moments, unearths never-before-told stories, and delves into some of the most widely discussed topics surrounding the series and its legacy, all in the words of the people who know it best.

ATX TV Members will be able to ask questions about Samantha’s career and all things The Vampire Diaries, as well as gain industry insights, listen to behind-the-scenes stories, and of course discuss what we’re all currently watching! And in preparation for this conversation, Samantha selected three episodes to get you in a perfectly vampiric mood! 

 – Season 1, Episode 1 “Pilot”
 – Season 2, Episode 1 “The Return”
 – Season 3, Episode 5 “The Reckoning”

An ATX TV Staff member hosts this conversation to get things started, but this time is for you to interact with our guests to learn more about your favorite shows or just talk TV with an insider that loves it as much as we do. As one of our community events, we’d love for you to attend with your camera turned on, but you don’t need to contribute unless you want. This will be a free flowing conversation, but we will also utilize Zoom’s hand raising and chat functions as needed to make sure everyone who wants to speak has a chance!
