Ian Somerhalder To Star in Netflix's Vampire Drama 'V-Wars'

Ian Somerhalder is sticking with the whole vampire thing after signing on for Netflix’s V-Wars.

According to THR, the former Vampire Diaries actor will star as Dr. Luther Swann, who enters a world of horror when a mysterious disease transforms his best friend, Michael Fayne, into a murderous predator who feeds on other humans.

As the disease spreads and more people are transformed, society fractures into opposing camps pitting normal people against the growing number of these vampires. Swann races against time to understand what’s happening, while Fayne rises to become the powerful underground leader of the vampires.

Netflix has picked up the series for 10 episodes.
