Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley Reunite to Star in Hulu’s You Deserve To Know

The Vampire Diaries co-stars will also executive produce a Brian Tanen adaptation that is now in development at Hulu and backed by Unwell, Kapital and 20th Television.

Overview

  • Deadline first reported the deal and both actors confirmed on Instagram that they will star as Gwen and Scott and serve as executive producers.
  • Writer-producer Brian Tanen is adapting Aggie Blum Thompson’s 2025 novel and will executive produce alongside the author and producers from Unwell and Kapital Entertainment.
  • The series centers on three suburban couples whose lives are upended when a husband is found dead, putting neighbors on opposing sides of a police investigation.
  • Hulu has the project in development with Kapital and 20th Television attached, but no series order, premiere date, additional casting, or trailer has been announced yet.
  • The reunion taps built-in fan interest from The Vampire Diaries and follows a streaming-era pattern of selling recent bestsellers with star-driven creative control, a dynamic that could speed interest but leaves key production dates uncertain.
