Chris Zylka Promoted to Series Regular on The Secret Circle

The Secret Circle has announced a piece of casting news that also serves as a pretty big spoiler...

Chris Zylka - who came aboard a few episodes into the first season as conflicted witch hunger Jake - has been promoted to series regular. What does this mean for the series?

Nothing concrete, but when we last saw Jake he was sailing away with other hunters. Considering another piece of casting news, which hinted at the reveal of the head of the council in the near future, it's apparent this storyline is only just taking off.

The Secret Circle returns on January 5. Watch a promo for its winter premiere NOW.
