As if this show wasn’t hot enough, the CW’s Vampire Diaries producer Kevin Williamson recently teased that this “upcoming second season will reboot the series”. How and why would the show performing as one of the network’s best in ratings even be subject to a reboot? One word says it all – KATHERINE.
Williamson explains:
“Katherine (Nina Dobrev) being back in Mystic Falls is a bit of a game changer. We’re going back to zero and telling a new story, but it’s the story that you already know half of because you’ve watched the first season. It’s the other half. There’s so much to still know about 1864.”
“[Katherine’s] meaner. She’s different, in the sense that she doesn’t have to wear corsets anymore. I’m scared to say [what she’s like] because it will tease where she’s been. What she’s been up to is a bit of a secret.”
A quick catch-up if you don’t know who Katherine is: Katherine is Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon’s (Ian Somerhalder) maker. For some reason yet to be explained, Elena looks and sounds just like Katherine (both characters are played by Nina Dobrev). Damon fought to free Katherine from a tomb last season, but it turned out that she wasn’t even imprisoned in there. At the season closer, we see Katherine for the first time in the present day.
That’s not all we’re going to discover this next season. We’re also going to have a history lesson about the Lockwood curse. *Insert wolfie howl here.*

Also new this upcoming season will be the character of Sarah (Maiara Walsh of Desperate Housewives and upcoming Mean Girls 2), who is “a girl who sets her eyes on Jeremy and encourages him to party it up at the Lockwood house” and Vanessa Monroe (Courtney Ford of Dexter and upcoming Sironia) “a Duke University grad student who’s helping Alaric (Matt Davis), Damon and Elena with Isobel’s research.”
