Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley reunite for Hulu thriller

Actors Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley, best known for their roles as the central couple on the long-running series "The Vampire Diaries," are set to reunite for a new television project. The pair will star in "You Deserve to Know," a thriller series currently in development at Hulu.

The series is an adaptation of the 2025 novel of the same name by Aggie Blum Thompson. It centers on three suburban couples who are neighbors and close friends. Their lives are upended when one of the husbands is murdered, revealing a trail of secrets that fractures their bonds. Dobrev will play Gwen, a suburban wife and mother whose husband is killed, while Wesley will portray Scott, a neighbor on the opposite side of the murder investigation, setting their characters on a collision course.

The project landed at Hulu following a competitive bidding situation. It is being produced by Alex Cooper's Unwell and Aaron Kaplan's Kapital Entertainment. Brian Tanen, known for "Love, Victor" and "Grand Hotel," is writing the adaptation and will serve as an executive producer. Dobrev and Wesley will also executive produce alongside Tanen, Thompson, Cooper, Matt Kaplan, Mina Lefevre, and Aaron Kaplan.
