GET READY FAM. - by Milly Haddrick

We're not in Mystic Falls anymore! 

Ian Somerhalder's new vampire show V Wars has an official release date, and you won't have to be waiting too long to see your fave Salvatore brother back on your screens. 

WATCH: Ian Somerhalder talks new Netflix show V Wars

On Thursday, Netflix released its first look at the new sci-fi series, taking to Twitter to share just three images that look scary as all hell.

Welcome back friend, we missed you.

"If you’re battling the vamps, you’re going to need someone with experience. Good thing @iansomerhalder is here to join. V Wars coming to Netflix on December 5th!", Netflix wrote on Twitter.

GET HYPED.

In the upcoming series, Ian will no longer be giving us Damon Salvatore vibes, but instead will be portraying Dr Luther Swann, a man who is forced to confront the world of monsters and horror after a mysterious disease transforms his bestie, Michael Fayne (Adrian Holmes), into a murderous predator who feeds on other humans.

AKA, Michael Fayne becomes a vampire.

Hi, we love you.

As the disease starts to spread, a mini-war breaks out in society which pits vampires against non-vampires, with Dr. Swann having to figure out how to stop the disease from spreading. 

Showrunners William Lauren and Glenn Davis have already told us that season one will contain ten episodes, but so far we have no trailer and no other clues as to what the plot will contain. 

Mark December 5 in your calendars and prepare to binge.
