We hope you weren’t getting too invested in V-Wars or October Faction…
The two Netflix original series – which premiered on December 5th and January 23rd, respectively – have officially been canned by the online streaming giant, and will now join the likes of Messiah, Aj and the Queen, Spinning Out, Soundtrack and Daybreak in the Netflix graveyard.
It’s a sudden change of fate for both original series, given they’ve only just been released into the wild. But as The Hollywood Reporter notes, Netflix has now pulled the plug on each of them, quashing any hopes for a second season of V-Wars. Or indeed the comic book-inspired October Faction.
The former series starred Vampire Diaries favorite Ian Somerhalder, who played the part of Dr. Luther Swann. Somerhalder’s brooding character gets a front-row seat to the end of days, after a mysterious disease transforms his best friend, Michael Fayne,...

Ian Somerhalder is well-known for playing vampire bad boy Damon Salvatore on The CW's The Vampire Diaries, but he's showing a whole new side of himself with his role in Netflix's V Wars, which drops on Dec. 5. Based on the bestselling books by Jonathan Maberry, the new series follows Dr. Luther Swann (Somerhalder) in a world where a mysterious disease has turned humans, including his best friend Michael Fayne (Adrian Holmes), into murderous predators.
After starring on The Vampire Diaries for eight seasons, you're probably wondering why Somerhalder would want to do another vampire show. While the actor totally understands people's fascination with him jumping back into the supernatural world, it's actually the differences between the two projects that drew him to V Wars in the first place.

What would happen if the human race slowly turned into murderous vampires? That's what Netflix's V Wars sets to uncover.
In the new series, which is based on Jonathan Maberry's bestselling books, the world gets turned upside down when a mysterious disease alters people's DNA and, as a result, turns them into blood-hungry predators. At the center of the story is Luther Swann (played Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder), a doctor who races to find a cure for the virus when his best friend Michael Fayne (Adrian Holmes) is affected.
Based on the first trailer alone, the show looks like a wild ride.

Calling all “Vampire Diaries” fans! Ian Somerhalder is officially back in the bloodsucker game and teasing his new character on the upcoming Netflix series “V-Wars.” But spoiler, alert, he’s not playing a vampire — at least we don’t think.
“Here he is… @drlutherswannofficial aka Dr. Luther Swann,” Somerhalder captioned a shot of himself wearing a white doctor’s coat and sporting some bloody knuckles, which he posted to Instagram Wednesday. “Would you trust this man?” Yes? Possibly?
Somerhalder’s first dip into the vamp world ended last year, when “The Vampire Diaries” wrapped its eight-season run on The CW last spring.
