Executive producer Kevin Williamson, who also produces the CW&#8217;s hit series &#8216;The Vampire Diaries,&#8217; which is also based on a book series, said that &#8220;(The books) are a great place to jump off from..It&#8217;s a wonderful world, which I hope I could add to it, spin it around and let go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The Secret Circle&#8217; will follow Cassie Blake, played by &#8216;Life Unexpected&#8217;s Britt Robertson, who moves to Chance Harbor, Washington, after her mother dies. When she arrives, she discovers that she&#8217;s a powerful witch, especially after she joins a secret coven.<\/p>\n<p>The television series will be different than the book series in the fact that the parents of the witches are much more developed in the show. For example, Natasha Henstridge&#8217;s character Dawn Chamberlain, the mother of resident evil witch Faye, portrayed by Phoebe Tonkin, is now the principal of the school. Henstridge said the school &#8220;is a very wonderful wonderful place to keep an eye on everything in the town and the circle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Robertson said that Cassie is also torn between embracing her good side and running from witchcraft, like her mother did, or becoming evil like her father, immortal witch Black John. &#8220;There&#8217;s that pull inside of her and she&#8217;s not sure where to go with it,&#8221; she said. But Williamson added that the introduction of John will be slow, much like &#8216;The Vampire Diaries&#8217; Klaus. &#8220;His presence will be felt in the show, specifically by Cassie&#8230;&#8221;In (Cassie&#8217;s) exploration, we&#8217;re going to learn much more about this guy and be very afraid.&#8221; The series premieres Thursday, September 15, 2011 at 9\/8 central.<\/p>\n<p>Written by: Karen Benardello<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-secret-circle-the_cw.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-secret-circle-the_cw.jpg\" alt=\"The Secret Circle from The CW\" title=\"The Secret Circle from The CW\" width=\"500\" height=\"329\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-secret-circle-the_cw.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-secret-circle-the_cw-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While discussing their upcoming new CW series &#8216;The Secret Circle&#8217; at this year&#8217;s Comic-Con, the show&#8217;s producers revealed that while key elements will remain true to the trilogy book series, several elements will derive from the source material, TVGuide is reporting.
