Six Degrees of Joss Whedon. Pop Confidential and Daytime Confidential would like to extend mad props to one of our favorite writers, Andrew Miller, creator of the best web series ever, Imaginary Bitches. Miller has been tapped to write the pilot for a new, high profile project for Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain, both of whom wrote for Joss Whedon's Angel and Dollhouse series. New York Magazine's Vulture blog broke the news of Craft and Fain adapting Vampire Diaries author L.J. Smith's Secret Circle book series for The CW. Alloy Entertainment, the transmedia juggernaut behind such teen hits as Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants, Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars and Vampire Diaries, is packaging the series.
The Secret Circle books revolve around Cassie, a teenage girl who is forced to leave behind SoCal for life in New England. Once there she bonds with a creepy group of kids, who turn out to be a coven of deadly witches. Yep, just like my high school senior trip. I caught up with the hubby of The Young and the Restless cutie Eden Riegel to get the dish on his new gig.
"The Secret Circle is a brilliant book series that uses the supernatural to explore the idea of adolescent empowerment and what to do with the power once you've got it," says Miller. "It's fun, sexy and edgy and I'm thrilled to be a part of it."
Sounds like Must See CW to me!

I used to read The Secret Circle, they were pretty good! A show based on the books might actually be quite interesting to watch. But then again, I'm a sucker for anything supernatural/scifi, so I'll probably watch it regardless of whether it was based on The Secret Circle or not.
ReplyDeleteThis was my favorite series by L. J. Smith. I can't wait. Well, as long as the CW doesn't ruin it by turning it into the Vampire Diaries without vamps.
ReplyDeletesounds good hope it makes it unlike Betwixt / Changelings still disapointed that wasnt picked up though we did get a Fae series in Lost Girl instead :)
ReplyDeleteUnlike the possible new pilot by Josh Schwartz featuring Michelle Trachtenberg, this show based on L.J. Smith bookseries actually sounds pretty good =)
ReplyDeleteYES! I love the books :D
ReplyDeleteOh and what I believe to be a great idea? Change the title of the book for the show?
ReplyDelete(Maybe just "The Circle" or "The Coven"???) lol
Ok writers of Joss Whedon, same developers as VD...this could be a great idea, actually. And we know exactly where the CW can put it. lol
ReplyDeletethis sounds so interesting! I really hope it gets picked up as a series!!
