Get ready for more epic suspense, romance and thrill rides as hit series The Vampire Diaries continues for a sixth season. Season five began with a sense of hope for Elena (Nina Dobrev). After a passionate summer with Damon (Ian Somerhalder), Elena headed to Whitmore College with Caroline (Candice Accola), not knowing that Bonnie (Kat Graham) sacrificed her life to save Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen). As Bonnie's friends fought to bring her back to life as the Anchor to the Other Side, Stefan (Paul Wesley) had to face off with his doppelganger Silas, and a newly human Katherine (Nina Dobrev) struggled with mortality and motherhood. Damon's relationship with Elena was put to the test when Enzo (Michael Malarkey), an old vampire friend from Damon's past, revealed he was still alive and looking for revenge. Stefan and Caroline's friendship deepened as they stood up to the Travelers, a nomadic witch tribe driven to strip Mystic Falls of magic and cast out its supernatural residents. Damon, having lost his town and fearing that he would lose his loved ones on the crumbling Other Side, Damon made a huge sacrifice to bring them all back--with catastrophic results.

While the cliffhanger season finale sent our characters reeling, season six will be the story of their journey back to each other as they explore the duality of good versus evil inside themselves on their quest to reclaim their home. Matt Davis rejoins the cast as a series regular this season, reprising his role as Alaric Saltzman, recently returned from The Other Side.
