Ian Somerhalder To Star
It’s been a year since The Vampire Diaries finished (I’ve never seen a single episode), however Deadline reports that Ian Somerhalder is putting back in his fangs. Netflix has commissioned 10 hour-long episodes of V-Wars, based on Jonathan Maberry’s bestselling book, from IDW Entertainment and High Park Entertainment.
Based On Comic Book Series
In V-Wars, the vampires are trying to infiltrate the world’s governments, taking over human cities while simultaneously attempting to sway public sympathy to recognize them as victims of a viral outbreak, not just cold-blooded killers. Meanwhile, the humans are trying to stem the vampire tide, fighting back against their covert attacks and outright rebellions.
Somerhalder is attached to star and direct the series, originally developed as straight-to-series in 2014 by IDW Entertainment and then under eOne TV’s first-look co-production deal.
The Vampire Wars have begun.
