One of the amazing reasons that the first season has been so successful… That’s [climate change series] something that we have in the works right now. I’m ecstatic to explore it… This is very much where I want to put a ton of our focus. This is very much on the top of our slate list. There’s more to come.”

In his interview, the Lost television series actor said that he will never be doing The Vampire Diaries reboot and he’ll probably be living away somewhere in coming years.
“In 10 years, I’m going to be living on a ranch in Wyoming and you’ll never hear from me again. I think it’s good to close this chapter and really let it be.”
