The Vampire Diaries is bringing in actors Blake Hood and Alyssa Diaz as Klaus’ new hybrid minions in season 4.

TV Guide has learned that Hood and Diaz will play the characters Dean and Kimberley. Dean will first appear in episode 4×05, while Kimberley will join him in the following episode. They will be under Klaus’ control, which seems to indicate that Klaus will be back in his own Joseph Morgan-shaped body by this point.

Blake Hood is best known for his work on 90210 and The Young and the Restless, while Alyssa Diaz is the second Nine Lives of Chloe King alum to join The Vampire Diaries this season (the other being Grace Phipps, who will star as Rachel, the Gilberts’ childhood friend).

What do you think will happen with Klaus this season? As we know, the producers had originally planned to kill him off at the end of season 3, but wanted to keep Joseph Morgan around. Claire Holt will also return as Rebekah, and even Daniel Gillies will be reprising his role as Elijah – so we’re definitely not done with the Originals!

The Vampire Diaries returns in just over a month, on October 11 at 8/7c on The CW! We can’t wait to find out what happens to Elena and the rest of the Mystic Falls gang.
