Exclusive: Rising British actor and director Maisie Richardson-Sellers has signed with Tfc Management.

Richardson-Sellers will next be seen in a lead role on the upcoming second season of Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers opposite Nicole Kidman. She most recently was seen starring in Hulu’s LGBTQ+ psychological horror film Jagged Mind, directed by Kelley Kali.

Richardson-Sellers previously starred opposite Mark Rylance and Simon Pegg in the six-part cyber-thriller from Peter Kosminsky, The Undeclared War, currently streaming on Channel 4 and Peacock. Set in 2024, the series follows a team of analysts buried in the heart of British spy agency Gchq, secretly working to ward off a series of cyber attacks on the UK in the run-up to a general election.

After making her big-screen debut in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Richardson-Sellers went on to portray Chloe in the last two installments of Netflix’s The Kissing Booth films, opposite Joey King and Jacob Elordi.

Nina Dobrev starred in the gothic drama The Vampire Diaries as Elena. The CW show revolved around a love triangle between two vampire brothers and was one of the most-watched series on the network. It also spawned two spinoff series and lasted eight seasons.

Apart from millions of fans, pop star Taylor Swift was also reportedly a fan of the series. Dobrev revealed that the makers actually tried to get the All Too Well singer to come on board the show and play a recurring character. However, it never materialized and her role was played by Arielle Kebbel.

Nina Dobrev starred in The Vampire Diaries till season 6 and became a household name. The romantic drama involving vampires was a runaway hit and spawned two spinoff shows, namely The Originals and Legacies.

The Netflix series Stranger Things launched the careers of its young main cast, transforming them into rising stars in the industry. However, the supernatural sci-fi drama also inspired one of its supporting actors, Madelyn Cline, to pursue her Hollywood dreams.

The actress, who makes a brief appearance in Season 2 of the show, has shared how her experiences working on Stranger Things and the supernatural drama The Originals fueled her passion for acting, leading her to drop out of college and embark on a journey to Los Angeles to chase her ambitions.

Stranger Things Inspired Madelyn Cline to Chase Her Acting Dreams

After starting out as a model, Madelyn Cline was soon landing small roles in movies and shows. However, it was shows like Stranger Things and The Originals that truly solidified her passion for acting.

In Stranger Things,...

People have harbored a deep fascination for werewolves, vampires, witches, and ghosts for ages. While ample series and movies have been made on the supernatural theme, The Originals has managed to satisfy fans’ craving in a way like no other.

A spin-off of The Vampire Diaries, the CW show features the origin and present of the first vampires ever created: the Mikaelson family—Mikael, Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah, and their half-brother and hybrid, Niklaus. While the show features all of the Mikaelson family at different times, it primarily deals with Elijah, Niklaus, and Rebekah.

The show aired from 2013 to 2018, and its five seasons were extremely gripping, exploring the emotional bonds that kept the Mikaelsons together and their battles against various supernatural threats amid constant power struggles. The Originals‘ fan-favorite cast has since embarked on diverse projects, from movies to television series.

So while in 2024, the Mikaelsons...

Nina Dobrev’s flawless beauty and impeccable acting charms most certainly seem to have helped in making her one of the most iconic talents in Hollywood’s entertainment industry. And yet, it can’t be denied that it was her performance as the lead female protagonist Elena Gilbert in the all-time fan-favorite The Vampire Diaries that had fans absolutely smitten with her.

Even after she went on to star in multiple other star-studded projects, Tvd continues to be the show that the 35-year-old actress is best known for. But while the staggering fame she received from the series isn’t surprising, what’s astonishing about it all is that Dobrev just may have never joined the cast of this drama had the other show she auditioned for, not had a “nudity clause”!

Nina Dobrev’s Reason for Joining The Vampire Diaries...

The Vampire Diaries was a hit, fan-favorite show on The CW for years!

Starring Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, Kat Graham, Matthew Davis and more, the supernatural drama ran from 2009 to 2017 for eight seasons.

The series spawned two spinoffs – The Originals and Legacies, and there’s even an idea for a fourth series in the Tvd universe.

Tvd centered on 17-year-old Elena (Dobrev), who was torn between two vampire brothers, good Stefan and the evil Damon, who face new dangers in the town of Mystic Falls.

Other stars on the show included Steven R McQueen, Sara Canning, Candice King, Zach Roerig, Kayla Ewell, Michael Trevino, Joseph Morgan and Michael Malarkey.

Since it’s debut in 2009, the stars have gone on to have successful careers in Hollywood, and they have wracked up impressive fortunes in the process. But who is the wealthiest? We did some digging and looked at the...

There was a time when Marvel Studios and its dedicated fan base were making it seem like their movies and shows should be judged within the parameters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So, if they made a spy-thriller film like Captain America: The Winter Soldier and I compared it with, let’s say, The Bourne Identity and came to the conclusion that Tws was bad, that was considered unfair. If they made a legal sitcom like She-Hulk and I compared it with something that’s referenced in that miniseries, Ally McBeal, and said that She-Hulk seemed like a cheap copy of Ally McBeal, then I’d be called a hater. But now, Marvel’s aura has dissipated quite a bit due to the decrease in its output, thereby pushing people to watch original stuff. So, I don’t think I’ll be burned at the stake for saying that...

Kevin Williamson’s upcoming Netflix drama series “The Waterfront” is rounding out its cast.

Variety has learned that Melissa Benoist, Jake Weary, Rafael L. Silva, Humberly González, Danielle Campbell, and Brady Hepner have all been cast as series regulars.

Additionally, Michael Gaston and Gerardo Celasco will appear as recurring guest stars, while Zach Roerig will guest star.

Full character descriptions can be found below.

Finally, Marcos Siega has joined the series to direct the first two episodes. He will serve as an executive producer on the pilot.

“The Waterfront” is currently filming. The new cast members join previously announced series leads Holt McCallany and Maria Bello.

The official logline states, “Inspired by true events, ‘The Waterfront’ dives into the flawed Buckley family as their attempts to retain control of their crumbling North Carolina fishing empire drive them to increasingly dangerous means to keep themselves afloat.”

Netflix has commissioned eight episodes.

On 10 September 2009, we all walked into Mystic Falls and simply never left. We fell in love with everything The Vampire Diaries had to offer – heart-stealing bromances, selfless heroes, unforgettable couples in love, and even the villains. Everything was simply perfect. And then one day, it all came to an end. We said goodbye to our favorite vampires, witches, werewolves, and hybrids in 2017 but hey, what goodbye has actually lasted? Call us Tvd fans sappy but we keep going back to the series time and again to witness it all again as if we are seeing it for the first time.

While it is good to rewatch the eight seasons (or the first 6 if we are being honest), we can’t help but wonder if there is more to the story. Now, showrunner Julie Plec recently opened up about wanting to revisit the Tvd universe,...

For 13 years, Julie Plec oversaw some version of The Vampire Diaries on The CW. First there was the original show, which ran for eight seasons of supernatural mayhem. The Originals, which brought vampire-werewolf hybrids into the mix, ran for five. Legacies featured characters from both series and ran for four seasons, ending in 2022. That's also when The CW was sold to Nexstar Media Group, which got rid of basically all of the network's original programming and has left it a shell of its former self. Apparently the Vampire Diaries universe had the support of CW CEO Mark Pedowitz, but a new owner's going to do what they're going to do.

“I was not entirely pleased with that decision,” Plec told Deadline about the cancelation. “There had been a Vampire Diaries show on the air for 13 years, and it seemed unfathomable to me that the studio wouldn’t want to keep...

The Vampire Diaries is one of the best and most iconic teen drama fantasy series and it captured the hearts and minds of its audience for over eight years during its eight-season run. Developed by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec, the teen fantasy horror drama series is based on the book series of the same name by author L.J. Smith and it follows Elena, who faces high school after just having lost her parents, and on her first day back she sees Stefan a brooding guy in a black jacket who is hiding a lot of things, for instance, his brother Damon and the fact that both of them are vampires. The Vampire Diaries stars Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, and Paul Wesley in the lead roles with Steven R. McQueen, Sara Canning, Kat Graham, Candice King, and Kayla Ewell starring in supporting roles.

In the realm of the supernatural genre, The Vampire Diaries occupies a very special separate space for being an incredibly intriguing and fascinating series about blood-sucking fictional beings known as Vampires. Having won several awards and fashioned off several spin-offs, the series remain as beloved as ever despite its end in 2017.

What made the tale even more interesting was that the series took creative liberty to expand upon the concepts of ‘Originals’ aka the first-ever Vampires, in turn leading to an equally successful series, The Originals. The concept turned out to be instrumental to the success of The Vampire Diaries, yet Ian Somerhalder has a good reason to be bitter about the show.

The Vampire Diaries started as a standalone supernatural...

Imagine The Vampire Diaries without Ian Somerhalder as Damon Salvatore. There, there. Hope you didn’t choke. But boy, it almost happened! In some wild alternate universe, the brooding vampire could’ve been played by none other than a Marvel star. Yep, before Somerhalder won fans over with his smirks and dangerous charm, the showrunners were eyeing a completely different actor—one who’s since made waves in the superhero world.

But as fate would have it, and thank God it did, that other guy just didn’t hit the mark, leaving the door wide open for Somerhalder to swoop in and claim the role of a lifetime. It’s crazy to think that one casting decision could’ve flipped The Vampire Diaries upside down!

Ian Somerhalder Almost Missed Out on The Vampire Diaries Lead Role to a Marvel Star...

Fifteen years ago, Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson thought that, on the heels of True Blood and Twilight, vampires were becoming a bit overrated.

Luckily, they didn’t listen to that instinct when they forged ahead with an adaptation of L. J. Smith’s fantasy horror novel, The Vampire Diaries, for The CW.

The pilot aired on Sept. 10, 2009, and, not only was it a resounding success, putting up what at the time was the largest premiere audience since the network debuted three years earlier, it also spawned an entire franchise that would last more than a decade. The Vampire Diaries would also influence pop culture and the entire young adult genre in unpredictable ways — so much so that it’s still worth talking about seven years after the final episode.

“It feels like blip, and yet, like the longest 15 years of my life,” Plec told Deadline this week, reflecting on...

It’s been 15 years since audiences were introduced to Mystic Falls and its vampires, love triangles and teenage drama. And still, The Vampire Diaries holds a special place for many viewers.

Vampire Diaries premiered on The CW on Sept. 10, 2009, and ran for eight seasons,. Now, to celebrate the milestone anniversary, showrunner Julie Plec looks back on the series she created with Kevin Williamson and how it launched a supernatural franchise.

She recalls wanting to “tell a really emotional story that was sexy and romantic and scary and all the things,” while also creating “something that felt timeless, that could live on and continue to feel like anybody, any generation at any time can connect to it.”

Julie Plec

And to accomplish that, Plec and Williamson knew they had to build a solid team that could produce stories with “creative integrity and that we’re deeply emotional and highly entertaining.”

They also needed the perfect cast,...

Todd Stashwick is boldly going from Starfleet to the Marvel TV universe.

The Star Trek: Picard alum has joined the cast of Disney+’s upcoming Vision series, with Paul Bettany reprising his WandaVision role as the android superhero, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Stashwick will reportedly play “an assassin who is on the trail of the android and the technology he possesses.”

Todd Stashwick, who played a key role season three of Star Trek: Picard, has joined Paul Bettany and James Spader in Marvel Studios’ untitled Vision series, the follow-up series to its Emmy-winning WandaVision.

The actor is reuniting with Terry Matalas, the much-heralded showrunner Picard, who is spearheading the new show that has sometimes been referred to as Vision Quest, although that is not its official title.

Bettany is reprising his role as Vision, the android who fell in love with the Scarlett Witch and then was destroyed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. In WandaVision, he returned via magic and the power of grief but also as a rebuilt android, now ghostly white.

Spader is reprising his role as Ultron, a sentient being created by Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, to act as a defense program but that instead turned against humanity, as seen in the movie Avengers: Age of Ultron.

On Sept. 1, Netflix shared some good news with its subscriber base. It announced that the first season of the popular Showtime horror-thriller series Yellowjackets would be coming to the streaming platform in October. We definitely didn't see this coming, but we couldn't be more excited. Yellowjackets season 1 is slated to land on Netflix on Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024.

Recently, we've seen the release of several Showtime series on Netflix. For example, the streamer added the anthology drama series Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber, the drama miniseries Patrick Melrose and the legal drama series Your Honor to its platform in May 2024. Then, in June, we saw the addition of all eight seasons of the hit crime drama series Dexter on Netflix. So, it's not totally surprising that the streaming giant decided to acquire the streaming rights to yet another Showtime series.

Torrey DeVitto had zero hesitations about her decision to not return to The Vampire Diaries following her divorce from Paul Wesley.

The Pretty Little Liars alum, who played Dr. Meredith Fell in seasons 3 and 4 of the hit supernatural drama, was married to Wesley, who starred as Stefan Salvatore, from 2011 to 2013. However, DeVitto shared on a recent episode of Rachel Bilson’s Broad Ideas podcast that she went through a “really dark time” post-split.

“It was [public],” she explained. “It was the first time I did something like that. Because he was on a really big show that was really popular, so it did draw [attention].”

As a result, DeVitto admitted that she had no interest in continuing to work on The Vampire Diaries with Wesley following their divorce.

“I was [on it], but I only did like six episodes. And then once we were splitting up I was like, ‘Pfft, not going back there,...

Julie Plec, co-creator of the hit supernatural drama “The Vampire Diaries,” has hinted at the possibility of a new series in the franchise. During a promotional event for her new Max series “The Girls on The Bus,” Plec shared her enthusiasm for expanding the “Vampire Diaries” universe.

“I have a story I still want to tell,” Plec told Screen Rant. “I know that the people who are on the book have a story that they still want to tell. I’m sure Warner Bros. has plenty of stories they want to tell. So, the hope is they’ll give me the opportunity to do it again. We’ll see.”

While no specific details were provided about the potential new series, Plec suggested that L. J. Smith’s original novels could serve as inspiration. The franchise, which began with “The Vampire Diaries” in 2009, has already spawned two successful spin-offs: “The Originals” and “Legacies.

Since good folks way back in the day began finding dug-out graves with missing bodies and encountering people with photophobia, the tales of vampires have been ever-present in our civilization. Even today, when we don’t believe in monsters anymore, those bloodsucking parasites found a cheeky way to stay a major part of our culture: by becoming more modern, sleek, and dangerous than ever.

World of Darkness Made Vampires Great Again

While a relatively niche franchise, it was World of Darkness that largely rebooted our vision of vampires thanks to its “subdivision,” Vampire: the Masquerade. VtM brings together everything we’ve learned (made up) about those nocturnal creatures throughout the centuries and frames it in a nice and scary concept: the bloodsuckers are ancient, immensely powerful, and still very much present.

In VtM, vampires rule the night and have human cities as their domains, pulling the strings of mortal affairs as they please.

The CW used to be the ideal network for soapy teen dramas, sci-fi vampires and werewolf series, and DC superhero shows.

Now, it's a disappointing shell of those days.

The Vampire Diaries premiered back in 2009 and led to two additional spinoffs, while DC's Arrow began in 2012 and also began a massive franchise.

The CW used to include soapy dramas or sci-fi series, such as Supernatural, which launched Jared Padalecki's career.

The CW has only four original series left, and Superman & Lois will air its final season in the fall.

All American and All American: Homecoming are all on the bubble, while Walker was canceled. It seems like The CW has changed its' identity, and it's not favorable.

We long to return to those glory days when The CW ruled TV fandoms.

We often picture vampires as the ultimate nocturnal predators, masters of seduction and illusion, don’t we? The entire charm of the Wwds’s bloodsuckers is how humane they are.

Sure, they only survive on drinking blood, but they’re just as funky, daft, insecure, and troubled as us — and that makes them all the more relatable.

If you need a simple and unsophisticated conflict in a vampire story, all you need to do is throw in some werewolves.

Rising British talents C.J Beckford and Maisie Richardson-Sellers are set to appear in the feature “Run.”

The film, from director Bernard Kordieh and Rashomon Films, was shot in 2022 under Covid-19 restrictions and is, per the description, a “social impact feature film designed to start a conversation about mental health and strip away the stigma surrounding the issue.”

“As filmmakers, finding one’s creative voice is a difficult and sometimes isolating process, and the dynamics of personal relationships can either aid or hinder this journey,” Kordieh said in a statement. “‘Run’ explores the complex relationship between mental health and creativity, as our protagonist grapples with the pressure to produce great work and the emotional toll it takes on him. It also explores the complexities of relationships with no true ‘villains’ in a break-up that seeks to create a story that balances raw authenticity with magic realism on a deep and emotional level.

We’re just a week away from the premiere of X-Men ’97, the highly anticipated relaunch of the beloved ’90s animated series, but in a shocking move, Marvel has fired creator Beau DeMayo.

THR reports that DeMayo was fired from X-Men ’97 last week, with his company e-mail immediately deactivated as cast and crew were informed that the creator was out of the picture. DeMayo’s Instagram account, which he frequently updated, has also been deleted. The reason behind the firing is unknown, as Marvel had no comment and DeMayo’s reps didn’t return calls. DeMayo had already completed work on the second season of X-Men ’97 and had even been brainstorming ideas for a potential third season, which makes his abrupt exit all the more mysterious.
