In case you missed the news earlier this year, Ian Somerhalder is going to be in another TV show all about vampires – and he’s now revealed the first look at his character.
Netflix’s V-Wars will see the former Vampire Diaries actor play Dr. Luther Swann, who isn’t actually a vampire himself.
Here he is… @drlutherswannofficial aka Dr. Luther Swann. Would you trust this man? #vwars @vwarsnetflix @vwars @vwarsofficial

Posting the picture on his Instagram, Somerhalder captioned it: “Here he is… @drlutherswannofficial aka Dr. Luther Swann. Would you trust this man?“
With those bloody knuckles he’s sporting, we’re really not sure at this point…
V-Wars will arrive on Netflix with 10 episodes and is an adaptation of best-selling author Jonathan Maberry’s IDW novel series about a world where a vampire virus sweeps through half of the population.
The story goes, Dr. Luther Swann is in horror when his best friend Michael Fayne is transformed into a blood-sucking fiend. As Fayne rises through the ranks of the growing vampire army, Dr. Luther struggles to bring peace to both sides.
An IDW spokesperson said back in April: “We could not have dreamed of a better choice than Ian Somerhalder to bring his keen understanding of this genre from his years of starring in The Vampire Diaries to lead the cast of V-Wars as Dr. Luther Swann and to be a creative force on this series, as well as to serve as a director this season.”
V-Wars is yet to get a release date on Netflix.
This will be Somerhalder’s first role since he and his co-stars walked away from The Vampire Diaries after eight seasons in March 2017.
