Talented Britt Robertson, star of Life Unexpected, has been cast in the pilot, which is based on novels created by Vampire Diaries author L.J. Smith and is developed by veterans of the Vampire Diaries TV show. The news was revealed by EW’s James Hibberd this afternoon.
The article says this is in “second position” to a third season of Life Unexpected, which would be a higher priority for Robertson, but let’s be realistic: Kristoffer Polaha has signed a talent holding deal with another network, Britt’s gotten this, and even creator Liz Tigelaar has taken on a new deal. It’s safe to say that Unexpected’s life is over and The Secret Circle will be the place you’ll have to go for your Britt Robertson fix.
