The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder has revealed if he'd ever appear in the spin-off series Legacies.
Unfortunately, it's not good news for fans of his character Damon Salvatore, as Ian has all but ruled out a cameo.
While promoting his new vampire-based Netflix series V Wars, the actor made it clear to TV Guide that Damon isn't even alive in the timeline of Legacies.
"He's not alive... Damon is dead. That's how he finds Stefan. He became human, and then he knocks on the door and he goes home. Now he's with his brother," he said.
Anyone who's seen the final scene of Vampire Diaries will know that Damon and Elena reunited with their respective families in the afterlife, with the former once again joining up with Stefan (Paul Wesley) in the Salvatore Boarding House.
While Ian might not be making an appearance in Legacies, that isn't stopping him from getting seriously excited about it.
"I do know that when Paul went to direct Legacies, he sent me this video message like, 'Whoa bro, this is insane,'" he added. "Because they have the same set. They have our old set and stuff. It's just like a time warp."
Legacies airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on The CW in the US.
