Any Vampire Diaries fans out there? At the very least, you’ve heard of the popular TV series from the decade prior.
And now, a TV couple at the center of the show is making a return, with Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley reuniting to star in the book adaptation of You Deserve to Know, according to Deadline. The project has reportedly landed at Hulu for development in a competitive situation.
Based on the 2025 novel by Aggie Blum Thompson, You Deserve To Know follows three suburban couples — next door neighbors and best friends. When one of their husbands is murdered, a shocking trail of secrets is revealed, and their friendship cracks wide open, Deadline noted on Thursday, June 25.
Dobrev and Wesley play Gwen and Scott, respectively — two neighbors on opposite sides of a murder investigation, leading them on a collision course. In addition to starring, Dobrev and Wesley executive produce.
Dobrev, 37, and Wesley, 43, starred together in the first six seasons of The Vampire Diaries as Elena and Stefan, who started off as a couple before she fell in love with Stefan’s brother Damon (Ian Somerhalder). Talk about an iconic love triangle for YA television.
Recently, Dobrev starred in and produced the short film General Admission, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, Deadline reports. Next, she stars in the action thriller feature The Get Out alongside Russell Crowe and Theresa Palmer.
Wesley recently wrapped a recurring role opposite Christina Hendricks in the upcoming third season of the Apple TV+ series The Buccaneers. He also recently wrapped the 5th and final season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, where he plays the iconic James T. Kirk.
Back in March, Dobrev and Wesley were actually seen hanging out together by fans at the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris. Though the two are close friends now, for the first five months of filming The Vampire Diaries in 2009, it was known that they did not get along. Find out more here.
