The CW Picks up Vampire Diaries

Posted by Shane on Friday, February 6, 2009 at 5:58 pm

The CW has greenlighted a pilot based on the Vampire Diaries books, Variety reports. Diaries comes from Alloy Entertainment, which is also behind Gossip Girl and Privileged.

Kevin Williamson (Dawson’s Creek) will write and exec produce, along with Julie Plec (Kyle XY).

The Vampire Diaries books focus on a young woman who’s torn between two vampire brothers, one good and on evil.

The CW’s predecessors were certainly no stranger to vampire stories. Joss Whedon’s (whose current project Dollhouse is in the process of being killed by Fox on Friday nights) Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired for 7 years (5 on The WB and 2 on UPN), while Angel aired for 5 years on The WB.
