You may still be deciding whether you’re Team Edward or Team Jacob, but these new vampire brothers will definitely put an end to that saga.
Vampire Diaries, a new TV series which began airing on VUZU.tv 1 February, follows the love triangle between two vampire brothers – Stefan and Damon Salvatore – and Elena Gilbert, a high school student who’s just as damaged as them. But while the story revolves around high school students, the show is definitely not about high school as the Salvatore brothers’ 145-year-old feud now becomes a fight for Elena’s soul.
The official synopsis goes something like this:
It's Elena's first day back at Mystic Falls High School since the tragic death of her parents. Along with her Aunt Jenna, Elena tries her best to look after her troubled younger brother, Jeremy, and salvage what family they have left. The first day is already shaping up to be a struggle for Elena until she meets the mysterious new kid at school, Stefan. Elena is touched that he can relate to what she's going through. What Elena doesn't know is that Stefan is a vampire, constantly resisting the urge to taste her blood. As their undeniable connection grows deeper, Stefan's dangerous older brother, Damon, shows up to wreak havoc on the town of Mystic Falls – and claim Elena for himself.
Starring Paul Wesley as Stefan, Ian Somerhalder as Damon and Nina Dobrev as Elena, Vampire Diaries is based on the best-selling series of books by LJ Smith. But it’s not only the cast who make this production hot, the talented team of executive producers include Kevin Williamson (
Scream, Dawson's Creek), Julie Plec (
Kyle XY, Wasteland), Leslie Morgenstein (
Gossip Girl, Private) and Bob Levy (
Gossip Girl, Privileged). Williamson and Plec are also part of the show’s script-writing team.
