Last night The Vampire Diaries returned to The CW after a brief winter hiatus, and tonight the cast is returning to Covington, GA, which has played Mystic Falls in the series since its first season.
The Vampire Diaries is expected to shoot scenes for an upcoming episode tonight from 4:30 p.m. clear to 4:30 a.m. along Clark Street, between Church and Monticello, on Hays Street from Clark Street to Usher Street, and on Hunter Street between Clark and Usher streets. ]]>
The CW recently jumped on the vampire bandwagon with The Vampire Diaries. The series was destined to be hit as it is executive produced by Dawson's Creek head honcho Kevin Williamson and is based on a series of popular teen novels. It also has all the ingredients of a great teen drama: a girl who is grieving the recent death of her parents and who deals with two brothers who are both into her and have been waging a war against each other for most of their lives, which equals about 150 years since they also happen to be vampires.
The show is set in the small town of Mystic Falls, VA but is filmed in Convington, GA. The pilot was filmed in Vancouver but Georgia's film tax incentives lured the production back to the U.S., which is just as well; there are already enough vampires in Vancouver. ]]>
