Netflix has released the official trailer for their forthcoming sci-fi horror series adaptation of V-Wars based on best-selling author Jonathan Maberry’s comic series.
The series will be featuring Vampire Diaries alum Ian Somerhalder’s Dr. Luther Swann as he tries to stop his best friend’s plans of turning every human into a vampire.
