The Salem Circle

Format:

The show will start with a 4 episode mini series to bring the viewers into the world, so that they know what's going on in the forthcoming seasons.The show is of the genre Sci-fi/Supernatural Drama.Shows I think i could compare this to in a similar genre Charmed,The Dresden Files,Supernatural And The Vampire Diaries.The reason for this is because i take most of my inspiration
from these shows and there writers.


The Premise:

Ethan, Alex and Dan: 3 normal boys In there Mid Twenties. Well I lied, they're not so normal.There powers come from A long line of magic From a group of Witches from Salem, this line of magic dates back to the late 1500's This magic is passed through the blood of the three founding family's of the secret covenant known as The Salem Circle .They are tasked with protecting the innocents in this world from the things that go "bump" in the night. Their Journey started when Ethan's brother, Olly, died in a fatal werewolf attack.After the attack there powers were activated and well that's were there problems started having to deal with both the prospect of college on top that moving a new state whilst hunting the supernatural, three boys one state and a bucket full of enemy's can three boys really survive in the golden state?


The Salem circle were a group of three male witches who Lost there lives at the hands of the salem witch hunts.The three familys blood lines Continue on.The Episodes that come after the mini series will see the boys travel to Salem in search of there ancestors Tombs and a few secrets that lay with in Salem itself The first season sees the charchter s recovering from the attack by the vampire clan and starts just at the begging of spring break.The Boys then travel to Salem and are confronted by their family's bloody past coming face to face with A town full of witch hunters.



For there powers to fully awaken they have to experience high levels of stress and loss of a loved one.Each generation that is born is left the Journal of the originals that details every supernatural threat that has properly ever existed,The magic skips one or two generations.And this time it has fallen to the three great great great ETC. grandsons of the original founding fathers of the covenant.They have to find there feet without any help or guidance what will happen to these band of brothers only fate knows.

The mini series follows Ethan,Dan And Alex as they investergate What appears to be a coven of vampire's attacking civilians in San Francisco.BUt it is indead a far deal worse than they all feared .

There were a few technical problems with your pitch, so I edited it a little bit; I hope you don't mind. I didn't change any thing you wrote, just fixed some errors. Since you've written the pilot, I'll be taking a look at it pretty soon. I think I'm waiting for 1-2 more pilots to be turned in before I read the lot.

Good luck.

I would like some feedback on the pitch on the whole=)

Well, the initial idea for this show, is something I wouldn't say is "original," but there's definitely things you can work with in this show that would make it both fresh, and entertaining. The show itself seems like it could work, with stand alone episodes mostly, while still having an overarching plot each season.

One thing I'm not too certain about, is your casting. You say that your three characters are "teenagers," but in my opinion, I think the only one that could pass for a teenage is Ian Somerhalder, and that's barely. I'd suggest making the characters a bit older, maybe early-mid 20's, or changing the cast around a bit? But, that's ultimately your decision.

I can't really say much, because the premise was a bit vague. I'd like to hear more about the origins of these characters, and their powers. I know they came from their families but, I would be great if you gave out some more vivid details on that So, I'll add more of my thoughts once I've read the pilot.

It's awesome that you're so inspired and that you have a general idea of what you want to do with your series, but I think some of it is really similar to what you draw your inspiration from. I personally suggest that you think it over a bit longer and let the idea linger in your mind a little. Try to come up with some extra creative twists that give it more of your own personal touch. For example, how you had them get their abilities by the loss of a loved one, that is an EXCELLENT touch and it's definitely something you can work with.

Good luck with this, benjy, it has a lot of potential!

Kind of my feelings exactly. I'm getting a huge "Charmed" vibe from this but with the main cast switched to males (then there's also the whole casting of Drew Fuller) but "Charmed" was sorta my all-time favorite show so I'm really kind of cool with it I suppose. As long as, you know, I don't start reading and instantly feel like I'm reading what I've already watched for years than I'm more than willing to give this a fair chance.

Guess I'm just a sucker for anything magic related ;D
