Career

In January 2013 it was announced that she was cast as the witch Sophie for season 4 episode 20 of The CW's hit series The Vampire Diaries. This episode serves as a backdoor pilot for a possible spin-off series, revolving around The Originals and taking place in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

Season one of The Originals was set to premiere on Tuesday, October 15. However, on July 29, 2013, The CW announced that the series premiere would instead air on October 3, 2013, following the fifth-season premiere of The Vampire Diaries in order to attract fans of the series. On October 10, 2013, the CW ordered three additional scripts for the series, but Pineda's character was written out of the show as her character was killed off. Daniella has since starred in other projects such as American Odyssey and The Detour.

In 2018, Pineda co-starred in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.[2]

Personal life
