The CW Picks Up Three Dramas

The CW has picked up Sarah Michelle Gellar’s “The Ringer”, Rachel Bilson’s “Hart of Dixie” and Kevin Williamson’s "Secret Circle" for its upcoming 2011-12 season.

According to various reports, Sarah Michelle Gellar's thriller series has already been ordered for a full season, after being previously turned down by CBS. The show follows the story of a woman (Gellar), who is on the run from the mob and hides out by assuming the identity of her twin sister. It also features Ioan Gruffudd, Nestor Carbonell and Kristoffer Polaha.

"The Secret Circle" focuses on a young girl (Britt Robertson) who discovers that she is part of a coven of witches, and is based on the book series by “Vampire Diaries” author L.J. Smith. It also stars Thomas Dekker and Gale Harold.

Finally, “Hart of Dixie”, developed by “Gossip Girl” creator Josh Schwartz, centres on a New York City doctor (Rachel Bilson) who gets a culture shock when she inherits a medical practice in a small Southern town.

The CW is scheduled to hold its upfront presentation on Thursday in New York.
