Paul Wesley has been added to the cast of CBS All Access’ upcoming fairly tale-inspired thriller “Tell Me a Story,” the network confirmed to TheWrap.
The casting reunites Wesley with Kevin Williamson, who co-created The CW’s “The Vampire Diaries,” where Wesley starred for eight seasons. Williamson is writing and executive producing “Tell Me a Story” along with Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment.
Wesley will play Eddie, whom CBS describes as “a derelict and troubled individual whose petulance is fueled even more by his problems with drugs and alcohol.”
He joins a cast that includes “The Originals” alum Danielle Campbell, Billy Magnussen and Kim Cattrall.
