CW’s Secret Circle Casting Call – to join Britt Robertson

The CW’s adaptation of L.J. Smith’s Secret Circle young adult book series, which I also like to refer to as Witch Diaries, has its star in Life Unexpected‘s Britt Robertson and they’re ready to begin casting several additional roles. Moviehole released a casting call for the pilot, which is being produced by Vampire Diaries‘ producer Kevin Williamson (Dawson’s Creek).

The four roles being cast are teenagers like Robertson’s Cassie Blake, a girl who moves in with her grandmother in Salem, Massachusetts. Once there she learns about her witchy heritage and the coven to which she becomes a member.

Liz Friedlander (Pretty Little Liars) will direct the pilot, which begins filming on March 24. The script was written by Andrew Miller.

A breakdown of the four new roles being cast:

ADAM CONANT. Boy-next-door handsome, Adam is 19 years old and the oldest member of the coven. When Cassie finds herself in danger, Adam steps in to save her. He explains the history of the town and the coven and is the first person to show Cassie the wonder of magic and what she’s capable of. Despite his long term relationship with Diana, Adam can’t deny his attraction to Cassie. SERIES REGULAR.

DIANA MEADE. 18 years old, smart and a classic beauty. Diana makes a concerted effort to welcome Cassie to New Salem, and treats her with a friendliness that Cassie finds infectious. The leader of the coven, Diana is determined to use magic for good. Although Diana wants Cassie to join the coven, she’s willing to wait until Cassie’s ready. Diana’s in love with Adam and can’t imagine anything tearing them apart. SERIES REGULAR.

FAYE CHAMBERLAIN. 17 and stylishly sexy, Faye is a sharp-eyed young woman who can play the danger card — and will. A member of the coven, Faye is unpredictable and has no problem using magic for her own selfish desires– even if it’s against the rules. The daughter of Vice Principal Dawn Chamberlain, Faye is sleeping with Nick Armstrong. She is the first to recognize the attraction between Cassie and Adam and will use it to her manipulative advantage in a power struggle with Diana. SERIES REGULAR.

NICK ARMSTRONG. 17, cool with bad boy good looks and a great physique (and he knows it), Nick lives across the street from Cassie and Jane, and he’s shameless about spying on her. He and Faye are friends-with-benefits – but Nick may be ready to trade up from Faye to Cassie. But is his interest genuine, or just another subtle form of manipulation. SERIES REGULAR.

About Annie Taylor

Annie spends most of her time watching or writing about TV. When she can tear herself away from the glowing screen she enjoys reading, cooking and baking, traveling, stalking iTunes and Tumblr, re-ordering her Netflix queue, cursing winter and loving summer, and plotting world domination.

    With dark hair, Britt Robertson has totally got the Faye Chamberlain face, but she’d also be fantastic as Cassie.
