Vampires might be immortal, but the actors who played them only had a few years to live out their fantasies! From Damon Salvatore to Tyler Lockwood, find out where the cast of CW’s The Vampire Diaries are post eternal life.
TVD Stars Where Are They Now?
Ian Somerhalder
Ian Somerhalder didn’t venture too far away from the bourbon-obsessed vampire he brought to life for 8 years. Somerhalder is now the proud co-owner of Brothers Bond Bourbon – an alcohol company he started with on-screen brother, Paul Wesley. Brothers Bond is a four-grain straight bourbon whiskey with nutty and caramel notes. Available here.

In addition to going into business with Ian Somerhalder, Paul went from one mythical land, to an intergalactic one – starring in Star Trek: Strange New World as Captan Kirk. Prior to playing Captain Kirk, he starred in the limited CBS series, Tell Me A Story, with a familiar face from the TVD Universe, Danielle Campbell.

Our fave vampires, witches, and werewolves have been off air for almost 6 years, but thanks to streaming services we never have to leave Mystic Falls.
However, if you’re like me, and crave in person experiences, check out Epic Conventions! Epic has yearly TVDU cast reunions in the same town the show was filmed, Covington, Georgia. “I Was Feeling Epic…Again” is scheduled for April 14-16, 2023, with a current cast lineup including Paul Wesley, Zach Roerig, Michael Trevino, and more.
