‘The Vampire Diaries’ Green-Lit For A Full Series

The Vampire Diaries

Nina Dobrev stars as Elena in 'The Vampire Diaries'

CW’s The Vampire Diaries has moved from a pilot to a full series according to a report on the LA Times.

The Vampire Diaries is a series of novels by American author LJane Smith that follow the story of a high school girl who falls in love with and becomes torn between two vampire brothers – one good and one evil.  The brothers end up at war over her soul as well as the souls of her friends, family members, and town.

Paul Wesley plays Stefan, one of the brothers.  26 year old Wesley’s previous credits include playing an Angel (Aaron Corbett) in ABC’s Fallen and Lucas Luthor in an episode of Smallville.

Ian Somerhalder plays the second brother Damon. Somerhalder is well known for playing the character of Boone in 28 episodes of Lost.  Just like his Vampire Diaries co-star Wesley, he has also appeared in Smallville where he played the character of Adam Knight in six different episodes.

20 year old Nina Dobrev plays Elena, the heroine who finds herself torn between both the vampire brothers. Dobrev is best known for her portrayal of Mia Jones in Degressi: The Next Generation but has also appeared in Eleventh Hour and The Border.

“[The Vampire Diaries] taps into what women have been fascinated with for years,” CW President of Entertainment Dawn Ostroff said. “‘Dark Shadows,’ ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer,’ and ‘Twilight.’ ” It’s a great story about a young woman who is in a love triangle between two brothers. It’s all about her life. We like that it’s romantic and dangerous all at the same time.”

The Vampire Diaries will premiere on the CW Network in the US during the 3rd quarter of 2009.
