The CW developing supernatural pilots SECRET CIRCLE & CHLOE

By Dan Owen /

The CW are developing two TV series with supernatural themes for next year, according to New York Magazine, all masterminded by former staffwriters on Joss Whedon projects. The first pilot is based on the Secret Circle books by Vampire Diaries's author L.J Smith, adapted by Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain (Dollhouse, The Vampire Diaries), about a girl who moves to Salem and discovers she's a witch. The second is Chloe, by Marti Noxon (Buffy, Mad Men) and Dawn Parouse (Prison Break, Tru Calling), about a dead female con artist who returns from heaven as a "Divine Covert Operator" (or angel, to you and me).
