The Hollywood Reporter spoke to Thomas about The Secret Circle and his character, Adam at a recent event held on the former set of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

One in particular, Adam Conant (portrayed by Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles’ Thomas Dekker), catches her eye in more ways than one. In the thick of filming, Dekker shared that the romantic tone carried throughout the first episode won’t be at the forefront of every episode, though aspects of it will still be there. “We’re shooting episode six right now. I like the direction it’s going in. It’s gotten a lot darker, more aggressive in tone. I like that kind of thing,” Dekker told The Hollywood Reporter. “There’s still a lot of beauty. With witches, you’re dealing with nature and energy, very spiritual topics, but the energies and powers coming to hurt us, those are the dark, violent areas of the show.”

Like its lead-in, The Vampire Diaries, Secret Circle — also executive produced by Kevin Williamson — will deal with love triangles. “What that does to him internally and where his devotion lies with the group,” he said, but “mainly we’ll find out more about their parents and what happened 16 years ago and my father is heavily entrenched in this mystery.”

He joked, “I just want to go evil for a bit.”
