Here's some bewitching news: The CW has finally greenlit the pilot for "Secret Circle," which will re-team their superstar writer-producer Kevin Williamson with "The Vampire Diaries" author L.J. Smith for the hour-long drama.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Alloy Entertainment, Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios will join forces with writer Andrew Miller, as well as Elizabeth Craft, Sarah Fain, Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo, who will once again take executive producer duties.
But where is Julie Plec in all this? While she isn't on board for "Secret Circle" at the moment, it's likely she'll become part of the project in the future. (Fingers crossed!)
While there's no word yet on who will play newly discovered witch (and the key to unlocking a centuries-old battle of good versus evil), high school student Cassie, her friend—and fellow witch— Dianna, Dianna's boyfriend Adam, the evil Faye or the swoon-worthy Nick, it seems fans have been excited for months that the Williamson-CW-Smith powerhouse trio might be bringing another beloved YA series to the small screen.
Kevin (whose already busy schedule, includes, among other things, penning "Scream 4") was initially supposed to be part of the "Vampire Diaries" companion series but has instead signed on for "Secret Circle."
