Sometimes a show comes along with a pretty rad plot, a super adorable cast, and top rankings on its network — but even still that’s not enough to keep it alive. Enter, the CW’s one-season series The Secret Circle. In this episode, Jonah covers the show that’s based on the book of the same name by The Vampire Diaries author L.J. Smith, and helmed by TVD’s producer. Why did a series about a group of powerful young witches exploring their mysterious and ancient supernatural connection fail to survive past its first season, despite having all the makings of a successful run like other CW shows of the genre? The answer...might surprise you.
