The Vampire Diaries Season 2 TEASER TRAILER

Don't judge me, you know I love all things vampire, including this cheesy CW show...and if for no other reason you should watch too because Ian Somerhalder is smoking hot!

There’s a new vampire in town — or make that an old one.

Katherine (Nina Dobrev), who returned to Mystic Falls in the season 1 finale of The Vampire Diaries (after being trapped in a tomb by a witch in the 1800s), is here to stay a while — and cause even more chaos for the town that’s had its share of troubles. In an exclusive trailer for season 2 of the CW show, Katherine is out to play games and get revenge, coming between brothers Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and facing Elena along the way.

“Last year was just a taste. Get ready for the year of the Kat,” a voice says in the clip. “The ex games are about to begin.”

The trailer features music by Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen‘s band, Pretty Reckless.

The Vampire Diaries returns Sept. 9 (8 p.m. ET) to the CW.
