There’ll probably be no avoiding this piece of news for long, but it is a potentially huge Vampire Diaries death spoiler so we won’t announce it before the cut!
Deadline reports that Matt Davis, who plays Alaric on The Vampire Diaries, has been cast as one of the leads in Cult, one of the new CW pilots.
Davis will star opposite Jessica Lucas, who plays a production assistant on the fictional show-within-a-show Cult. When murder mysteries ensue on set, Davis’ character Jeff enters the scene as a journalist blogger whose brother is amongst the people who have gone missing.
While Alaric could potentially leave Mystic Falls alive and return as a guest star, and while Cult might not get picked up as a fall series by The CW, this is ominous news none the less. After all, why would Matt Davis be looking for new work in the first place?! And we already know that the finale will be full of tragedy.
We know that Alaric survives the cliffhanger, but he could still end up dying in the finale. How would you feel about Elena losing the last adult role model in her life?
