In a world that feeds on racism, border wars, politics, discrimination of every kind, disease, exploitation of nature etc, V Wars reflects on these ideas. It tries to show our image which has turned us into a predator. A predator of our own self, which is terrifying. The “politics of fear” under which we are now sheltered upon, a propaganda that the capitalist applies on the lower class is what the show is all about. These are the inner meanings of the show.
Somerhalder told TVLine shortly before the series’ premiere in Dec. 2019. “These things aren’t just happening in our echo chambers, they’re happening around the world. And [the vampire virus] comes about as a result of rampant glacial deterioration. Ice is melting and exposing pathogens, viruses and bacteria that could make the bubonic plague look like a chickenpox party.”
