On May 29, Ian Somerhalder posted a video on Instagram, with the caption “Season 9 wrap?” followed by an eye and laughing emoji. The video also featured his Vampire Diaries co-star Paul Wesley, who portrayed Stefan Salvatore.
The clip begins with Somerhalder asking Wesley, “Season 9 is starting off pretty well, right?” to which the latter replies, “Yeah bro.” Somerhalder followed by saying, “Season 9 just wait,” with Wesley then listing how they had “one camera…a few bottles of water, and a boom.” You can check out the video below:
