Fox Developing Hourlong Bewitched Reimagining From Judalina Neira and Sony TV

The project reframes the 1960s sitcom as a heartfelt love story focused on Samantha’s relationship with Darrin.

Overview

  • Fox Entertainment put an hourlong dramatic take on Bewitched into development, with Sony Pictures Television set to co-produce.
  • Writer–executive producer Judalina Neira leads the series with executive producers Doug Robinson and Lauren Moffat after Neira and Robinson renewed overall deals at Sony TV.
  • The new version centers on Samantha and Darrin’s early relationship as they face disapproving parents and cultural clashes between human and witch worlds.
  • Sony developed the series internally, took it out over the summer, and finalized the Fox deal after roughly two months.
  • No casting or release timeline has been announced, and a separate live-action Tabitha family series remains in active development at Sony Pictures Television Kids and Flying Bark.
