Would Paul Wesley star in a potential reboot of The Vampire Diaries? According to him, fangs but no fangs.
The actor, who rose to fame playing the vampire Stefan Salvatore in the CW drama series alongside Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder, told InStyle magazine that that would be a “hard pass” for him.
“I would never do another vampire anything, period,” Wesley said, “let alone Vampire Diaries.”
The Vampire Diaries premiered in 2009 and ended in 2017 after eight seasons. The series spurred the spinoff The Originals, which later had its own spinoff show, Legacies. No plans for a reboot of the franchise have been announced.
“I don’t really miss anything about playing him, and I don’t mean that in a [negative way],” Wesley, 40, said in his InStyle interview, posted July 6. “Eight years is a long time, and I’m so glad to put that to rest. Eight seasons.”
