The Vampire Diaries was a whirlwind of romance, supernatural forces, and epic battles between good and evil. But since March 2017, when the series finale aired, fans have been wondering where their favorites have run off to. Here's what the Vampire Diaries cast is doing today.

By the time The Vampire Diaries ended, Paul Wesley was a staple of the show, and not just as the main good-guy love interest Stefan Salvatore. He began directing episodes in Season 5 and became a producer during Season 8. Wesley told BuzzFeed:

"I spent a year shadowing directors, attending meetings, prepping, sitting in the editing room, etc. Even though I have been working in TV for years, it ended up being such a blessing because I learned invaluable information."

This experience behind the camera would prove useful as he started his own production company, Citizen Media, and began making deals of his own.

In 2019, Citizen Media partnered with Kapital Entertainment to produce Confessions of a Drug-Addicted High School Teacher and Possessed. Wesley signed on to star in Confessions of a Drug-Addicted High School Teacher, so fans can watch a more experienced version of the actor they fell in love with.
