At the conclusion of the second season there was not any news on whether or not there would be a third season. Cherilyn Wilson and Alli Kinzel later stated in a YouTube video that there would not be another season coming in the foreseeable future as they have not been contacted about continuing the series, despite high fan demand.<ref name="season3">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcYeg8Ob510|title=corbin and sam vlog again |author=Alli Kinzel|publisher=[[YouTube]]|accessdate=June 15, 2011}}</ref> On June 15, Josh Nuncio announced on Twitter that both seasons with cast commentary and alternate endings would be available on [[Amazon.com]].<ref name="amazon">{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/JoshDNun/status/81112553031352321|title=I<nowiki><</nowiki>3Vampires fans we just finished filming the new cast commentary and both season will soon be available at Amazon with alternative endings|author=Josh Nuncio|publisher=[[Twitter]]|access-date=June 15, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140601081210/https://twitter.com/JoshDNun/status/81112553031352321#|archive-date=2014-06-01|url-status=dead|df=}}</ref>
