The Vampire Diaries is returning with its fourth season premiere next week on October 11 and they have recently released a new cast photo as seen above. The cast looks stunning and the overall photo looks pretty sexy to me. Seems like it's going to be a hot season! Executive produced Julie Plec didn't say much, but she did mention that fans will only get small glimpses of Daniel Gillies' character Elijah in flashbacks, but it won't be the last fans see of him.

Are you ready for season four? I know I am!
