Season 2 of Vampire Diaries spin-off Legacies will see Chris Lee's Kaleb feature in a more regular capacity.

His character was a recurring presence in the show's debut season, but the rebel neck-muncher's popularity has gained him some extra screen time in the upcoming episodes (via Deadline).

But that's not the only season two update, as Grey's Anatomy star Olivia Liang has landed a new role too – enter Alyssa Chang.

She's described as a "Salvatore School student witch and infamous instigator of drama among her peers".

The report adds: "Snarky, intelligent and egotistical, Alyssa is a main character in her own mind, and never backs down from a challenge or misses an excuse to show off."

Meanwhile, it was confirmed last week that Vampire Diaries' Riley Voelkel will be making an appearance in an upcoming Legacies episode (airing November 21), where she'll reprise her role as Freya Mikaelson.

"It felt great to have her back in the family, and it's great for the story," said executive producer Julie Plec.

We can't get enough of these reunions, keep 'em coming!

Legacies airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on The CW in the US.
