Legacies - Season 2 - Thomas Doherty Joins Cast

Thanks to A for the heads up.

Thomas Doherty (Disney's Descendants) has joined the cast of The CW's Legacies per TVGuide. Additionally TVGuide and others at SDCC have provided some teases from the panel. It has not been revealed whether Doherty is playing a series regular, recurring or guest starring character.

"We're really excited about a new character that we're introducing. We really want to bring in an old, old, old-world vampire," Plec told TV Guide. "We made the rule for our school that the vampires who go to our school actually need to be teenagers... not hundreds of years [old] because then you get into some creepy math. But we want to introduce a vampire who kind of got desiccated when he was 17 in maybe the 15th century and now wakes up in the 21st century and realizes that all the rules of being a vampire have changed and that he does not fit in into this very modern world."
