TV shows about vampires, werewolves, witches, zombies are part and parcel of most network line-ups these days. So green lighting new ones is a no-brainer. Thus comes the casting commencement for Kevin Williamson’s new horror-related project ‘Secret Circle’. The series, based on the young adult fantasy romance series of novels written by L. J. Smith, is being adapted by ‘Scream 4’ scribe Williamson (who will also exec produce) and the first cast member has been signed up. And it’s in the form of the beautiful Brittany Robertson – below (‘Swingtown’, ‘Life Unexpected’), who has in fact just finished her new role in ‘Scream 4’. Britt will play the part of Cassie in the new CW pilot, which is also set to be helmed by Liz Friedlander who has previously worked on other CW shows such as ‘The Vampire Diaries’ and ‘90210’.
“The “Secret Circle” series follows 16-year-old Cassie, who moves from California to live with her mom in New Salem and falls in love with a mysterious boy named Adam. But, when she enrolls in high school there, she realizes that he, she and all the other elite students at the school are witches! She befriends their leader, Diana, but soon discovers that Adam and Diana are dating, which leads to a whole bunch of complicated drama.”
