The Secret Circle: No Second Season; Cancelled

12 May 2012 9:05 PM, PDT | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »

It seems not even magic couldn't help bring the ratings up. The CW has cancelled The Secret Circle after one season of 22 episodes.

A supernatural series, The Secret Circle follows teenager Cassie Blake (Britt Robertson) who, after moving to Chance Harbor, discovers that she is a witch and part of a young secret coven. The show also stars Thomas Dekker, Gale Harold, Phoebe Tonkin, Jessica Parker Kennedy, Shelly Hennig, Louis Hunter, Ashley Crow, and Natasha Henstridge.

When the season began, it looked like The CW had found the perfect match for their big hit, The Vampire Diaries. The premiere drew a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.05 million viewers. These days, those are excellent numbers for the smallest network.

  In week two, the ratings dropped 31% but were still strong by CW standards. Unfortunately, over the course of »

'Secret Circle': How will they keep up next season?

10 May 2012 4:09 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

The Secret Circle seems to have embraced an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink philosophy to storytelling. Over the show’s 21 episodes, there have been several demon possessions, at least two resurrections (one of which was thanks to a demon possession!), one super-hot hex sex scene, a memory erasure, and a reveal that two of the show’s main characters are half-sisters… and now there’s a crystal skull? As Steven Spielberg and Geoge Lucas learned a while back, no good can come from a crystal skull.

Taking a more-is-more approach is not uncommon these days in TV storytelling — not only for freshman series (hello, »

'The Secret Circle' finale: Charles finally gets what's coming to him

10 May 2012 11:44 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

This time last year, critics were buzzing about the very first scene of "The Secret Circle" pilot.

Charles (Gale Harold) murdered his high school friend Amelia in order to get her daughter, Cassie (Britt Robertson) back to their hometown, where she was needed to complete a circle of magic that would turn deadly more than once over the course of the first season.

We've seen Charles display varying degrees of weakness and strength this year, and now, as tensions in town reach a climactic finish, he'll have to examine his choices and, perhaps, atone for them.

Tonight's Season 1 finale, titled "Family," will force Charles into a potentially deadly decision. The most important relationship in his life, with his daughter Diana (Shelley Hennig), is crumbling. He's learned that she may not be his biological daughter, and she's discovered the truth about Charles' potential for darkness.

'Secret Circle' Ep Andrew Miller previews tonight's season finale

10 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »

Tonight, The Secret Circle closes its first season with a finale that exec producer Andrew Miller promises will answer our questions about John Blackwell (Joe Lando). When we last left the teen witches of Chance Harbor, Cassie (Britt Robertson) and Diana (Shelley Hennig) had learned that Blackwell had orchestrated the creation of their entire Circle, even if he only fathered them, and Diana found out that Charles (Gale Harold), the father who raised her, had killed Cassie’s mother. Oh, and Faye (Phoebe Tonkin) was kidnapped by Eben (Sammi Rotibi), and Blackwell got his hands on the final crystal needed to make the Crystal Skull, »

It's a lot to take in, which is why TVGuide.com turned to executive producer Andrew Miller to get the scoop on the finale. Check it out:

'Secret Circle' Ep On Season One Hits & Misses

9 May 2012 1:12 PM, PDT | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »

The Secret Circle season one finale airs tomorrow night, capping off an uneven 22 episode run that swung violently between stellar highs and laughable lows -- but that's totally typical in your average freshman series as the cast and crew attempt to navigate treacherous inaugural waters.

In anticipation of the finale, titled Family, I caught up with Secret Circle Ep Andrew Miller for a refreshingly frank conversation about the mistakes that were made, the opportunities that were missed and the moments that made this season utterly incredible.

Insider.com: Secret Circle was the first network series you executive produced -- now that it's said and done, how do you feel about the 22 episodes?

Andrew Miller: Ultimately, incredible. It's harder than I thought but I had an inordinate amount of support – I had a cast that you dream about, an incredible writing staff, a crew in Vancouver that constantly made what we wrote better and so much support »

Honestly, we could go either way when it comes to The CW renewing "The Secret Circle" or not, but we do want to see who lives and who dies when the dust clears in the Season 1 finale, entitled "Family"...and if Thomas Dekker ever raises his voice above a whisper.

"The Secret Circle" Episode 1.22 "Family" (5/10/12 Air Date; 9:00-10:00 Pm):

The Secret Circle Scoop: Nick Is Back — What Does This Mean for the Circle?

2 May 2012 7:08 PM, PDT | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »

"Nick is back in a big way," Chris Zylka warns.

Way to understate the obvious! First, The Secret Circle spent time introducing us to the new coven members who would help Cassie (Britt Robertson) discover her magic, only to then kill one of the series' supposed main characters off in the fifth episode. Nick (Louis Hunter) was then replaced by his older, more brooding brother Jake (Zylka), who eventually went from working with the Witch Hunters to against them.

Now, it seems, Nick has been resurrected to track down the remaining crystal and thwart the Circle's attempts at combining them to create the sure-fire weapon against the Witch Hunters, the Crystal Skull. How will the Circle feel about Nick's return? For Jake, it may not be a happy reunion. "Jake's going to...

27 April 2012 12:28 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

‘Secret Circle’ Recap: A Traitor Is Revealed & [Spoiler] Returns

26 April 2012 9:10 PM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »

The search for the remaining crystals intensifies, as the Circle zeroes in on the traitor in their midst. You'll never believe who it is! Seriously, I'm still scratching my head. Following Jane's death, Cassie (Britt Robertson) was trying to keep from falling apart on the April 26 episode of The Secret Circle. But in a moment of weakness, she couldn't help kissing Adam (Thomas Dekker), who -- judging by the look on his face -- didn't seem to mind all that much. That was my first clue that our young Mr. Conant remembers more about his feelings for Cassie than he was letting on. Diana (Shelley Hennig), meanwhile, was coming to terms with the discovery of her true paternity. She was clearly finding it hard to be around Cassie at Jane's wake, and insisted on not telling the rest of the Circle until they knew for sure whether or not she was John Blackwell's daughter. »

'The Secret Circle': Shelley Hennig on Diana's possible move to the dark side

26 April 2012 12:35 PM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »

Last week on The Secret Circle, viewers learned that Diana (Shelley Hennig) is the second Blackwell child. Hennig only learned that Diana was Cassie’s (Britt Robertson) half-sister a few days before the episode was shot. “I was shocked and I kept thinking, ‘Well, the scripts change up until the day of,’ so I didn’t get my hopes up until I was actually shooting the episode,” she says. “We all wanted it. It was a cool twist for any of us. But for me, I just thought that it would explain Diana’s connection with Cassie all along, and »

The Secret Circle's Shelley Hennig: Diana Isn't Too Happy with Being a Balcoin

25 April 2012 5:35 PM, PDT | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »

The other Balcoin child on The Secret Circle has finally been revealed!

Upon learning that John Blackwell (Joe Lando) had fathered another witch in the Circle, the odds on it being Faye (Phoebe Tonkin) were favorable, especially considering her mother's crush on Blackwell and Faye's own affinity for the darker side of magic. But it was innocent Diana (Shelley Hennig) who turned out to be Cassie's (Britt Robertson) half-sister. Twist!

Now that Diana knows she's got dark magic in her, will she also go down the same slippery-sloped path as Cassie? TVGuide.com caught up with Hennig to get the scoop on how Diana will handle her newfound family, and how Charles (Gale Harold) will feel about the discovery that his now-deceased wife was unfaithful...

‘The Secret Circle’ Shocker: Cassie’s Sibling Is [Spoiler]

19 April 2012 7:21 PM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »

The 'other Blackwell' has finally been revealed! Did you guess right? It's been the question on every Secret Circle fan's mind since the winter finale: Who is Cassie's (Britt Robertson) half-sibling in the circle? The answer was finally revealed at the very end of the April 19 episode -- and it was not who I was expecting. Despite Faye (Phoebe Tonkin) being positive she was John's (Joe Lando) daughter for most of the hour, the other Blackwell turned out to be none other than Diana (Shelley Hennig)! Cassie put two and two together after Diana was affected by a spell designed to cripple witches with dark magic. Personally, I'm just glad the other Blackwell isn't Adam (Thomas Dekker) or Jake (Chris Zylka). I feel like incest is the final frontier The Secret Circle just isn't ready to tackle. Hit up the comments section with your thoughts on this week's big reveal. »

Every episode of The Secret Circle seems to deliver more twists and turns than the last. And the last new episode is no exception. Fans learned that if the Circle tracked down the six crystals, they could rid themselves of those problematic witch hunters. Where do we go from here? Well, co-star Gale Harold isn’t dropping any secrets, but he’s definitely excited for fans to find out.
