As Alaric, Matt Davis may have met his end on The Vampire Diaries, but the actor is back tonight on the CW's newest drama, Cult. Matt stars in the small-screen thriller as an investigative journalist. When his brother goes missing, he discovers that a TV series about a creepy-but-charismatic leader and his followers — and the show's obsessive real-life fans — might be behind the disappearance. During our chat, Matt gave us some clues as to how the mystery will unfold this season, weighed in on whether there's any possibility that Alaric will return to The Vampire Diaries, and talked about a cause close to his heart: saving rhinos from poaching. Cult premieres on the CW tonight at 9 p.m./8 p.m. Central. On Lindsay: H&M jacket.

Ian, Nina, and Paul on Vampire Diaries' Love Triangle and Shirtless Beach Wishes
Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev, and Paul Wesley joined the rest of The Vampire Diaries cast in LA Saturday night for a PaleyFest Q&A panel. Before fans were treated to an exclusive peek at the next episode, we caught up with the stars backstage — stay tuned for more on PopSugar Rush! The actors agreed that though they all love Joseph Morgan, who plays Klaus, it seems Joseph's final days on the program could be near. Candice Accola, Nina, and Ian also shared their wishes to take the show to the tropics. A sunny beach location seems unlikely for vampires, but Candice wants to give Ian more opportunities to take his shirt off.
The show's creator Julie Plec tiptoed around upcoming storylines, but admitted she'd love to see a musical episode if it made sense. By the end of the season, Nina's character, Elena, will be forced to choose between her two loves, but no word on which brother she picks.
