‘Vampire Diaries’ Season 4 Trailer: Can Elena’s Transition Be Stopped?

‘The Vampire Diaries’ returns Oct. 11 with its game-changing fourth season. Watch the first official trailer here!

Vampire Diaries fans, your patience has paid off! The CW just released a 1-minute trailer for the show’s upcoming fourth season… and it’s a doozy. As Elena (Nina Dobrev) prepares to make the ultimate choice — you know, feed or die — the rest of the Mystic Falls gang is pulling out all the stops to prevent her from transitioning into a vampire.

Bonnie (Kat Graham) seems to be putting in the most effort, plotting a spell that would take her to the “other side” so she could bring Elena back, while the men in Elena’s life — Stefan (Paul Wesley), Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) — are mostly just there for moral support.

And then there’s Caroline (Candice Accola) and “Tyler” (Michael Trevino), who are too busy with sexy times to even care what’s happening with Elena. Oh, right, and Caroline still has no idea she’s actually banging out with Klaus (Joseph Morgan) in Tyler’s body.

God, I’ve missed this show.
