Sad news for fans of Life Unexpected today: The CW has officially announced that it will NOT order any additional episodes of the teen drama.

As a result, it will go off the air following its 13th episode of this season and is very unlikely to return.

But there is a silver lining to this cloud of cancellation: E! News quotes insiders who believe the network will replace the show with Secret Circle, a new show based on the witch-based book series written by LJ Smith, the author of The Vampire Diaries.

Moreover, writers/producers Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain, who have worked on both The Vampire Diaries and Angel, will take charge of the series. Sounds promising, doesn't it?
