The CW Chooses Witches Over Zombies & Angels: SECRET CIRCLE Picked Up, AWAKENING And HEAVENLY Dropped


The CW has made its picks for the fall and the adaptation of the witchy L.J. Smith series, Secret Circle, helmed by The Vampire Diaries executive producer Kevin Williamson, is a go. However, two other supernatural series Awakening and Heavenly have been passed over.

Secret Circle, a show also based on another series by The Vampire Diaries author, L.J. Smith, stars Britt Robertson (Life Unexpected), Thomas Dekker (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Natasha Henstridge (Drop Dead Diva, Eli Stone), and Phoebe Tonkin (Smallville).

Awakening was a series described as The Vampire Diaries meets The Walking Dead by Canadian writer-producers William Laurin and Glenn Davis (The Listener).

Heavenly was a show that followed a former angel and an attorney who team up to save people, starring Lauren Cohan (Chuck, The Vampire Diaries) and Ben Aldridge (Lark Rise to Candleford).
