After recurring heavily in Season 1, Arielle Kebbel (The Vampire Diaries) has been promoted to regular for the second season of Dwayne Johnson’s HBO comedy Ballers. Kebbel plays hot local sports reporter Tracy Legette, who is also Johnson’s love interest on the show.

From creator Stephen Levinson, Ballers looks at the lives of former and current football players, following former superstar Spencer Strasmore (Johnson), who is trying to reinvent himself as a financial manager for current players in sunsoaked Miami.

It’s a busy time for Kebbel, who also has landed a recurring role on the final season of FXX’s The League. The actress had a memorable turn as the hot-blooded and unstable Britney in Lifetime’s UnREAL. Her other TV credits include The Vampire Diaries, 90210, Life Unexpected, True Blood, and Gilmore Girls. She is repped by Paradigm, Principal Entertainment LA and attorneys Barry Littman and Gretchen Rush at Hansen Jacobsen.
