Warner Bros. Television Group disclosed their plans to expand their social media audience in a press release today. Warner Bros. is partnering with Virtual Greats to bring three of their hit shows into the virtual world. Out the gate, the three shows going virtual for the coming 2011-2012 television season are "The Vampire Diaries," "Gossip Girl," and "Pretty Little Liars."

"The Vampire Diaries" which premieres Thursday, September 15, at 8PM will be available on Meez.com, WeeWorld, and Zwinky. These sites will allow you to visit Mystic Falls. Once there, you will be able to create an avatar of one of your favorite characters, and dress them in the fashions shown on the hit series. At launch, fans will only be able to chose between Stefan, Damon, Elena, or Katherine avatars. No word as of yet if/when other characters will become available. Lisa Gregorian, Chief Marketing Officer at Warner Bros. Television Group states,
