Kevin Williamson has a new series called "Tell Me A Story". It will air on CBS in October 2018. Paul Wesley will star...

A Kevin Williamson Story could be great or not. We'll see...

You can watch the trailer here

I will probably give it a chance. KW is a skilled storyteller and he might get t right this time. I watched "the Following" as it meandered for a while before it got a strong last season. I hope this new series will not be just about violence and such...

We will see :lol:

I will let you teat the waters... can you cope with PW? It will be so strange to see both him and Ian in new roles, won't it? :017:

Absolutely!

I am not sure if I can cope with PW but according to KW Paul is doing a great job in his new role but I am not buying it right away HAHA!
"Davina" is also part of the cast and there are many new faces so we'll have to wait and see.

Not seeing Ian in a vampire role will be quite strange I must admit! By the way does anyone know when V-Wars will air? I couldn't find any info on that so far :017:

I will test the waters for you dear and will report back here. Probably some of it will be good but will the whole thing be coherent and brilliant or will it fall short of our expectations of a dark but skillfully woven story. Will it be emotionally satisfying?
I guess that it will be interesting to see how KW will apply his twists on the well known fairy tales and what the impact of that on us as viewers will turn out to be.

There was a Panel at comic con 2018 with KW and the main cast but I haven't watched it yet.

This is a short interview with TVLine:

EEEK!!! I'm not sure I can stomach the halting delivery of Paul Wesley unless he suddenly looks like Ian Somerhalder. I may watch for a nanosecond with you all just for fun. Actually, the trailer looks pretty good. I also watched The Following which was a bit to vile for me, but since I could not look away stuck with the series. Kevin W. is so much more talented than Julie Plec so I give this show a lot more credence than her new efforts. Now, in another life on another site I think we may have mistaken one of the Three Little fairy tale characters for JP, yes? (Patting the mean girl in me on the head.) Perhaps a fresh role will up Paul Wesley's game. One can hope.

V-Wars seems to be scheduled sometime in 2019. I don't think they have a solid release date or at least they haven't published exactly when it airs.

Season 2 of Tell me a Story is being filmed.

Paul Wesley will return as new character and will help KW with the show.
Season 1 was actually okay. I didn't like PW much but his role did not go on and on, luckily :roll: .

We'll see what season 2 will fare. I will watch because season 1 had good storytelling elements and a few twists and surprises and Paul Wesley did not stay until the end :72:. Read more here:
