Nachdem sich die ersten sechs Episoden der Alloy-Webserie "Dating Rules From My Future Self" großer Beliebtheit erfreuten, steht nun die Produktion einer zweiten Staffel der Webserie in den Startlöchern. "Dating Rules" handelt davon, dass eine App es ermöglicht, mit dem zukünftigen Ich zu kommunizieren, das einem via Handy Tipps gibt, wie und mit wem (bzw. mit wem nicht) man ein Date haben soll.
Während in Staffel 1 Shiri Appleby ("Roswell", "Life Unexpected - Plötzlich Familie") als Hauptdarstellerin zu sehen war, hat man nun mit Candice Accola das Gesicht für Staffel 2 gefunden. Sie wird die 26-jährige Chloe Cunningham spielen, die über die App SMS mit der zehn Jahre älteren Version von sich selbst austauscht.
Neben Accola wurde auch der aus "Modern Family" bekannte Schauspieler Reid Ewing an Bord geholt. Welche Rolle er spielen wird, ist bislang nicht bekannt.
Appleby wird, auch wenn sie nicht mehr als Hauptdarstellerin zu sehen ist, dennoch an Bord des Projekts bleiben: Sie wird bei einer Episode Regie führen, einen Gastauftritt haben und gemeinsam mit Accola als Produzentin tätig sein. Die Dreharbeiten zu den sechs neuen Episoden sollen diese Woche in Los Angeles beginnen. Man will Staffel 2 dann im August online bringen.
Unten stehend findet ihr den Trailer zu Staffel 1, die Appleby und Accolas "Diaries"-Kollege Taylor Kinney zeigte.
Ob "Vampire Diaries", "True Blood" oder nicht zuletzt die "Twilight"-Reihe: Vampir-Stories sind seit einigen Jahren der Dauerbrenner in der Gunst unzähliger Fans. Nun hat sich mit Serien-Schönheit Candice Accola eine echte Insiderin über den allgegenwärtigen Blutsauger-Hype geäußert.
„Ich denke, der Vampir-Hype ist ein witziges Phänomen der Popkultur und ich freue mich so sehr, ein Teil davon zu sein. Es ist schon eine skurrile Welt, in der wir leben“, so „Vampire Diaries“-Star Candice Accola (25) im Gespräch mit dem „Fault“-Magazine. Candice muss wissen, wovon sie spricht. Schließlich wurde ihre Rolle als Caroline im Verlauf der zweiten „Vampire Diaries“-Staffel selbst zu einem blutdürstenden Serien-Vampir. Ihre Popularität bei den Zuschauern stieg seitdem kontinuierlich an.
Derzeit zieht der letzte Teil der „Twilight“-Saga Unmengen von Besuchern in die Kinos und beweist damit einmal mehr, dass die Fan-Sympathie für romantische Vampir-Geschichten ungebrochen ist. Es dauert nicht mehr lange, dann können alle „Vampire Diaries“-Anhänger auch endlich wieder Candice Accola, Nina Dobrev (23), Ian Somerhalder (34) und Co. in voller Action erleben. Staffel vier der Diaries, die seit einigen Monaten bereits im US-TV zu sehen ist, soll 2013 auch in Deutschland anlaufen. Grandiose Quoten und jede Menge Blut sind wahrscheinlich vorprogrammiert.
"Vampire Diaries"-Star Candice Accola: Was sie wirklich über den Vampir-Hype denkt!
Der Hype um bleichen Gestalten mit langen spitzen Reißzähnen nimmt kein Ende. Ob „Twilight", "The Vampire Diaries“ oder "True Blood", noch nie waren Vampire so beliebt wie heute. Was "Vampire Diaries"-Darstellerin Candice Accola über diesen Hype denkt, verriet die 25-jährige im Interview mit dem Magazin "Fault".
"Ich denke, es ist ein witziges Phänomen der Popkultur und ich freue mich so sehr, ein Teil davon zu sein … Es ist eine solch skurrile Welt", lachte die blonde Mimin, deren "Vampire Diaries"-Figur Caroline Forbes, zu Beginn von Staffel 2 in einen Vampir verwandelt wurde.
In den Drehpausen versuche Candice Accola dennoch, ein wenig Abstand von all dem Vampir-Hype zu bekommen. So startete Mitte 2012 ihre Online-Serie "Dating Rules From My Future Self", in der sie die Hauptrolle der Chloe Cunningham übernahm. "Es machte wirklich sehr viel Spaß", so eine glückliche Candice Accola.

Go away with Candice Accola

The Vampire Diaries actress Candice Accola, visiting the Osa Wildlife Sanctuary in Costa Rica.
Born in Texas and raised in Florida, Candice Accola is best known for her portrayal of Caroline Forbes on the CW series "The Vampire Diaries." An avid traveler who counts her passport as one of her prized possessions, the 25-year-old actress says, "I don't think I could have a genuine relationship with someone who didn't love to travel and appreciate new foods. Traveling is a big part of my life, and I want to share that with the people close to me."
Q. What is the one thing you can't live without when you're on vacation?
A. Sunscreen. I burn very easily, so if I forget sunscreen, I will be a tomato by the end of the day. I'm very big on sunscreen and hats. I grew up in Florida and I love the beach and I think it's healthy to get a little bit of color. But especially with this show, we can't really get too sun-kissed in our off time.
Q. Did your family travel a lot when you were younger?
A. I was very fortunate to grow up with parents who love to travel, so I traveled from a young age. My dad's a heart surgeon and goes to conferences all over the world. By the time I was seven, I traveled outside the country for the first time. We went to Paris. The next year, we went to London, and then Brussels. My parents weren't able to travel when they were younger, so they really wanted my little brother and me to have that experience.
Q. Where won't you go?
A. Honestly, I'm up for anything. I just want to travel and explore. Even in the job that I do, it's taken me to different cities where I want to know everything. And even if it's not the most glamorous place, I still want to see everything. I explore Philadelphia like I do Tahiti. There's so much to see no matter where you go.
Q. Have you dated people who don't share your love of travel?
A. Yes. I've dated people where we traveled horribly together and if one thing went wrong, it was horrible for them. Then I've been fortunate enough to have great traveling experiences where everything lined up and even when things went wrong, you just laughed about it. You learn so much about yourself when you're traveling with someone. It's also a huge reason why they say that you shouldn't get married to someone until you've traveled with them. Being in close confines like that for an extended period forces you to explore different sides to yourself.
Q. How are you at hitting the road by yourself?
A. I'm fine with it. I've traveled by myself and gotten lost and I could sit there and pout that I didn't reach my destination. Or, I could say, "I'm lost, but I can appreciate that I'm here anyway." It's so good for the soul and mind. I traveled for a month by myself in 2011. I went to this amazing, charming bed and breakfast in the middle of nowhere in Santiago, Chile. I was the only guest there and the woman who owned this house was Romanian. I didn't speak Spanish or Romanian and she and her brother didn't speak English. It was fine. Sometimes you just have to go with it. I walked around the vineyards and had dinner with people I didn't know. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is get lost.
Q. What are some of your favorite memories from your past trips?
A. I remember as a kid eating mangoes in Manila. I love the crazy busy streets of Bangkok. I love the cafes and croissants in Paris. The people in Spain are so passionate and their happy hours are fantastic. I remember walking down the cobblestone streets in Prague. I was in Costa Rica this past summer and love how you live by the sun. I saw some of the most beautiful sunsets there.
Q. Where would you like to go that you have never been to before?
A. I want to get to Machu Picchu and hike and explore Peru. I've never been to Africa and want to spend a chunk of time there. If I was told to take two months off for a dream trip, I would use it there. I really want to get to Japan. And I've been to Prague, but it was only for 24 hours so it doesn't really count. I really want to spend time there.
Q. What untapped destination should people know about?
A. One of the most incredible places I've been to was Costa Rica. My boyfriend and I made a last-minute decision to go to the Osa Peninsula. It was one of those trips where you take a plane into the rain forest, and then you hike through this jungle. It was incredible, seeing all these big trees, different kinds of monkeys and species of birds.
'Vampire Diaries' star Candice Accola teases tonight's episode, takes the EW Pop Culture Personality Test -- VIDEO
We don’t often get to see Mystic Falls’ finest attend class, but on the season finale of The Vampire Diaries tonight (CW, 8 p.m. ET) we’ll watch them graduate (yes, they actually passed!).
“There’s a lot of really sweet, happy moments within the episode of just everyone being together,” teases Candice Accola, who plays Caroline. “You’re going to see the whole gang [together].”
Of course—as with any TVD finale—Accola says there will be at least one major twist and a possible death. But don’t expect the mayhem to distract Caroline from donning her cap and gown.
“She just wants to go to graduation. That’s her focus,” says Accola. “She’s definitely part of keeping everyone alive and wanting to help get the answers but in the back of her head it’s still, ‘I have a graduation to plan.’”
Before all the doom & gloom kicks off tonight, we recommend you unwind with something a bit more lighthearted courtesy of Accola. She recently stopped by EW to take our Pop Culture Personality Test and revealed which R-rated movie she watched when she was younger, her most prized pop culture possession (let’s just say the Spice Girls are involved!), why she once wrote a letter to Oprah, and more. Watch the video below:

Caroline Forbes-Mimin Candice Accola schwebt im siebten Himmel: Die 26-jährige und ihre Freund, ‘The Fray‘-Gitarrist Joseph King, haben sich in Florenz verlobt. „Sie hat ja gesagt. Ich bin ein glücklicher Mann", twitterte King und postete ein Foto von seiner Liebsten, die stolz ihren Verlobungsring präsentiert.
Auch Candice Accola postete via "Instagram“ zwei Fotos von sich und ihrem Verlobten - überglücklich und bis über beide Ohren verliebt, strahlen die beiden in die Kamera. Candices „Vampire Diaries“ Co-Star Nina Dobrev freute sich riesig für ihre beste Freundin. "Ich sterbe gerade! Bin so aufgeregt/begeistert/glücklich/hyperventiliere, weil du verlobt bist!", twitterte sie.
Nina Dobrev selbst ist dagegen alles andere als glücklich, sie und Co-Star Ian Somerhalder sollen sich erst kürzlich getrennt haben. Möglicherweise lenken sie ja Accolas Hochzeitsvorbereitungen ein wenig ab. "Welche Farben werden die Kleider der Brautjungfern haben? Gelb steht mir nämlich nicht besonders ... :P haha", so Nina laut "aceshowbiz.com".
Photos: TVD’s Candice Accola Appears On Whose Line Is It Anyway?
The Vampire Diaries’ Candice Accola appears in one of the episodes of The CW’s revived Whose Line Is It Anyway? on Tuesday, July 23 at 8PM (ET). Here’s how her episode is described:
SINKING HER TEETH INTO COMEDY — WITH GUEST STAR APPEARANCE BY CANDICE ACCOLA (“THE VAMPIRE DIARIES”) — Hosted by comedian Aisha Tyler, cast members Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady and Colin Mochrie, along with guest comedian Keegan-Michael Key (“Madtv”) put their comedic skills to the test through a series of spontaneous improv games that are prompted only by random ideas supplied by the studio audience. The four performers must use the little information they have and their wild imaginations to depict different characters and an array of scenes, as well as perform songs. After each round of improvisation, Aisha will dole out points to our four performers and declare a winner at the end of every episode. Directed by Geraldine Dowd (#106).
