Britt Robertson, the young Charlotte native who starred in the CW's "Life Unexpected," has been tapped to star in a new show slated to air on the same network this fall.

Robertson will star in "The Secret Circle," a drama based on a three-book series from "The Vampire Diaries" author L.J. Smith. Robertson will play a young woman who moves to a new town and discovers she's not only a witch but also the key to unlocking a centuries-old battle of good vs. evil.

Sound familiar? Yeah, it sounds an awful lot like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Which we love! So yes!

"The Secret Circle" is being co-written and exec-produced by another North Carolina native, Kevin Williamson of 'Scream" fame, who currently has a CW hit with "The Vampire Diaries." The Hollywood Reporter says Liz Freidlander will direct the pilot.

"Life Unexpected" ran for two seasons on The CW.
