And while you'll probably hate them for what they're doing to Mystic Falls, star Paul Wesley confesses that he is a fan. "I love the Heretics, actually. They really kick in in the fourth and fifth episode. You really like them in terms of the dynamic they bring to the show," he tells E! News during a visit to the TVD set. "They're old, so they're wise, and I like that. It's a little reminiscent of the Originals."
In the premiere, we'll see the storyline bounce between present-day Mystic Falls and three years from now, something star Candice King explains will eventually pay off in a big way.
"We're going to see how Mystic Falls became the way it is now," she reveals. "There's some really fun flash-forwards. That's coming up in season seven, which has been my favorite to read about and to also try to guess what's happening because I still can't put the puzzle pieces together."
Check out how Enzo fits in to the picture and more scoop on the season premiere in the video above. The Vampire Diaries airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on The CW.
