Image © CW.comThe L.J. Smith adaptation The Secret Circle, cousin to the successful Vampire Diaries, has been given a full 22-episode order for its first season. The show's generally positive reception, decent ratings, and durable premise have given heart to the storm-tossed CW network, prompting this pick-up of the show's "back nine" episodes after its contingent 13-episode original order in May

In the most recent ratings, for Oct. 13, Circle retained two thirds of Vampire's 2.9 million live plus same day viewers. It garnered a 0.8 rating among adults 18-49, considerably outperforming the latest numbers for the high-profile Ringer (a 0.4 rating among adults 18-49 and 1.170 million live and same day viewers), according to TV By the Numbers.
